ExportPlot (file,type)

ExportPlot (file)

Export the contents of the plotting window to a file. The type is a string that specifies the file type to use, "png", "eps", or "ps". If the type is not specified, then it is taken to be the extension, in which case the extension must be ".png", ".eps", or ".ps".

Note that files are overwritten without asking.

On successful export, true is returned. Otherwise error is printed and exception is raised.

Examples:

genius> ExportPlot("file.png")
genius> ExportPlot("/directory/file","eps")

Version 1.0.16 onwards.

LinePlot (func1,func2,func3,...)

LinePlot (func1,func2,func3,x1,x2)

LinePlot (func1,func2,func3,x1,x2,y1,y2)

LinePlot (func1,func2,func3,[x1,x2])

LinePlot (func1,func2,func3,[x1,x2,y1,y2])

Plot a function (or several functions) with a line. First (up to 10) arguments are functions, then optionally you can specify the limits of the plotting window as x1, x2, y1, y2. If limits are not specified, then the currently set limits apply (See LinePlotWindow) If the y limits are not specified, then the functions are computed and then the maxima and minima are used.

The parameter LinePlotDrawLegends controls the drawing of the legend.

Examples:

genius> LinePlot(sin,cos)
genius> LinePlot(`(x)=x^2,-1,1,0,1)

LinePlotClear ()

Show the line plot window and clear out functions and any other lines that were drawn.

LinePlotCParametric (func,...)

LinePlotCParametric (func,t1,t2,tinc)

LinePlotCParametric (func,t1,t2,tinc,x1,x2,y1,y2)

Plot a parametric complex valued function with a line. First comes the function that returns x+iy, then optionally the t limits as t1,t2,tinc, then optionally the limits as x1,x2,y1,y2.

If limits are not specified, then the currently set limits apply (See LinePlotWindow). If instead the string "fit" is given for the x and y limits, then the limits are the maximum extent of the graph

The parameter LinePlotDrawLegends controls the drawing of the legend.

LinePlotDrawLine (x1,y1,x2,y2,...)

LinePlotDrawLine (v,...)

Draw a line from x1,y1 to x2,y2. x1,y1, x2,y2 can be replaced by an n by 2 matrix for a longer polyline. Alternatively the vector v may be a column vector of complex numbers, that is an n by 1 matrix and each complex number is then considered a point in the plane.

Extra parameters can be added to specify line color, thickness, arrows, the plotting window, or legend. You can do this by adding an argument string "color", "thickness", "window", "arrow", or "legend", and after it specify the color, the thickness, the window as 4-vector, type of arrow, or the legend. (Arrow and window are from version 1.0.6 onwards.)

If the line is to be treated as a filled polygon, filled with the given color, you can specify the argument "filled". Since version 1.0.22 onwards.

The color should be either a string indicating the common English word for the color that GTK will recognize such as "red", "blue", "yellow", etc... Alternatively the color can be specified in RGB format as "#rgb", "#rrggbb", or "#rrrrggggbbbb", where the r, g, or b are hex digits of the red, green, and blue components of the color. Finally, since version 1.0.18, the color can also be specified as a real vector specifying the red green and blue components where the components are between 0 and 1, e.g. [1.0,0.5,0.1].

The window should be given as usual as [x1,x2,y1,y2], or alternatively can be given as a string "fit" in which case, the x range will be set precisely and the y range will be set with five percent borders around the line.

Arrow specification should be "origin", "end", "both", or "none".

Finally, legend should be a string that can be used as the legend in the graph. That is, if legends are being printed.

Examples:

genius> LinePlotDrawLine(0,0,1,1,"color","blue","thickness",3)
genius> LinePlotDrawLine([0,0;1,-1;-1,-1])
genius> LinePlotDrawLine([0,0;1,1],"arrow","end")
genius> LinePlotDrawLine(RungeKuttaFull(`(x,y)=y,0,0.001,10,100),"color","blue","legend","The Solution")
genius> for r=0.0 to 1.0 by 0.1 do LinePlotDrawLine([0,0;1,r],"color",[r,(1-r),0.5],"window",[0,1,0,1])
genius> LinePlotDrawLine([0,0;10,0;10,10;0,10],"filled","color","green")

Unlike many other functions that do not care if they take a column or a row vector, if specifying points as a vector of complex values, due to possible ambiguities, it must always be given as a column vector.

Specifying v as a column vector of complex numbers is implemented from version 1.0.22 and onwards.

LinePlotDrawPoints (x,y,...)

LinePlotDrawPoints (v,...)

Draw a point at x,y. The input can be an n by 2 matrix for n different points. This function has essentially the same input as LinePlotDrawLine. Alternatively the vector v may be a column vector of complex numbers, that is an n by 1 matrix and each complex number is then considered a point in the plane.

Extra parameters can be added to specify color, thickness, the plotting window, or legend. You can do this by adding an argument string "color", "thickness", "window", or "legend", and after it specify the color, the thickness, the window as 4-vector, or the legend.

The color should be either a string indicating the common English word for the color that GTK will recognize such as "red", "blue", "yellow", etc... Alternatively the color can be specified in RGB format as "#rgb", "#rrggbb", or "#rrrrggggbbbb", where the r, g, or b are hex digits of the red, green, and blue components of the color. Finally the color can also be specified as a real vector specifying the red green and blue components where the components are between 0 and 1.

The window should be given as usual as [x1,x2,y1,y2], or alternatively can be given as a string "fit" in which case, the x range will be set precisely and the y range will be set with five percent borders around the line.

Finally, legend should be a string that can be used as the legend in the graph. That is, if legends are being printed.

Examples:

genius> LinePlotDrawPoints(0,0,"color","blue","thickness",3)
genius> LinePlotDrawPoints([0,0;1,-1;-1,-1])
genius> LinePlotDrawPoints(RungeKuttaFull(`(x,y)=y,0,0.001,10,100),"color","blue","legend","The Solution")
genius> LinePlotDrawPoints([1;1+1i;1i;0],"thickness",5)
genius> LinePlotDrawPoints(ApplyOverMatrix((0:6)',`(k)=exp(k*2*pi*1i/7)),"thickness",3,"legend","The 7th roots of unity")

Unlike many other functions that do not care if they take a column or a row vector, if specifying points as a vector of complex values, due to possible ambiguities, it must always be given as a column vector. Therefore, notice in the last example the transpose of the vector 0:6 to make it into a column vector.

Available from version 1.0.18 onwards. Specifying v as a column vector of complex numbers is implemented from version 1.0.22 and onwards.

LinePlotMouseLocation ()

Returns a row vector of a point on the line plot corresponding to the current mouse location. If the line plot is not visible, then prints an error and returns null. In this case you should run LinePlot or LinePlotClear to put the graphing window into the line plot mode. See also LinePlotWaitForClick.

LinePlotParametric (xfunc,yfunc,...)

LinePlotParametric (xfunc,yfunc,t1,t2,tinc)

LinePlotParametric (xfunc,yfunc,t1,t2,tinc,x1,x2,y1,y2)

LinePlotParametric (xfunc,yfunc,t1,t2,tinc,[x1,x2,y1,y2])

LinePlotParametric (xfunc,yfunc,t1,t2,tinc,"fit")

Plot a parametric function with a line. First come the functions for x and y then optionally the t limits as t1,t2,tinc, then optionally the limits as x1,x2,y1,y2.

If x and y limits are not specified, then the currently set limits apply (See LinePlotWindow). If instead the string "fit" is given for the x and y limits, then the limits are the maximum extent of the graph

The parameter LinePlotDrawLegends controls the drawing of the legend.

LinePlotWaitForClick ()

If in line plot mode, waits for a click on the line plot window and returns the location of the click as a row vector. If the window is closed the function returns immediately with null. If the window is not in line plot mode, it is put in it and shown if not shown. See also LinePlotMouseLocation.

PlotCanvasFreeze ()

Freeze drawing of the canvas plot temporarily. Useful if you need to draw a bunch of elements and want to delay drawing everything to avoid flicker in an animation. After everything has been drawn you should call PlotCanvasThaw.

The canvas is always thawed after end of any execution, so it will never remain frozen. The moment a new command line is shown for example the plot canvas is thawed automatically. Also note that calls to freeze and thaw may be safely nested.

Version 1.0.18 onwards.

PlotCanvasThaw ()

Thaw the plot canvas frozen by PlotCanvasFreeze and redraw the canvas immediately. The canvas is also always thawed after end of execution of any program.

Version 1.0.18 onwards.

PlotWindowPresent ()

Show and raise the plot window, creating it if necessary. Normally the window is created when one of the plotting functions is called, but it is not always raised if it happens to be below other windows. So this function is good to call in scripts where the plot window might have been created before, and by now is hidden behind the console or other windows.

Version 1.0.19 onwards.

SlopefieldClearSolutions ()

Clears the solutions drawn by the SlopefieldDrawSolution function.

SlopefieldDrawSolution (x, y, dx)

When a slope field plot is active, draw a solution with the specified initial condition. The standard Runge-Kutta method is used with increment dx. Solutions stay on the graph until a different plot is shown or until you call SlopefieldClearSolutions. You can also use the graphical interface to draw solutions and specify initial conditions with the mouse.

SlopefieldPlot (func)

SlopefieldPlot (func,x1,x2,y1,y2)

Plot a slope field. The function func should take two real numbers x and y, or a single complex number. Optionally you can specify the limits of the plotting window as x1, x2, y1, y2. If limits are not specified, then the currently set limits apply (See LinePlotWindow).

The parameter LinePlotDrawLegends controls the drawing of the legend.

Examples:

genius> SlopefieldPlot(`(x,y)=sin(x-y),-5,5,-5,5)

SurfacePlot (func)

SurfacePlot (func,x1,x2,y1,y2,z1,z2)

SurfacePlot (func,x1,x2,y1,y2)

SurfacePlot (func,[x1,x2,y1,y2,z1,z2])

SurfacePlot (func,[x1,x2,y1,y2])

Plot a surface function that takes either two arguments or a complex number. First comes the function then optionally limits as x1, x2, y1, y2, z1, z2. If limits are not specified, then the currently set limits apply (See SurfacePlotWindow). Genius can only plot a single surface function at this time.

If the z limits are not specified then the maxima and minima of the function are used.

Examples:

genius> SurfacePlot(|sin|,-1,1,-1,1,0,1.5)
genius> SurfacePlot(`(x,y)=x^2+y,-1,1,-1,1,-2,2)
genius> SurfacePlot(`(z)=|z|^2,-1,1,-1,1,0,2)

SurfacePlotClear ()

Show the surface plot window and clear out functions and any other lines that were drawn.

Available in version 1.0.19 and onwards.

SurfacePlotData (data)

SurfacePlotData (data,label)

SurfacePlotData (data,x1,x2,y1,y2,z1,z2)

SurfacePlotData (data,label,x1,x2,y1,y2,z1,z2)

SurfacePlotData (data,[x1,x2,y1,y2,z1,z2])

SurfacePlotData (data,label,[x1,x2,y1,y2,z1,z2])

Plot a surface from data. The data is an n by 3 matrix whose rows are the x, y and z coordinates. The data can also be simply a vector whose length is a multiple of 3 and so contains the triples of x, y, z. The data should contain at least 3 points.

Optionally we can give the label and also optionally the limits. If limits are not given, they are computed from the data, SurfacePlotWindow is not used, if you want to use it, pass it in explicitly. If label is not given then empty label is used.

Examples:

genius> SurfacePlotData([0,0,0;1,0,1;0,1,1;1,1,3])
genius> SurfacePlotData(data,"My data")
genius> SurfacePlotData(data,-1,1,-1,1,0,10)
genius> SurfacePlotData(data,SurfacePlotWindow)

Here's an example of how to plot in polar coordinates, in particular how to plot the function -r^2 * theta:

genius> d:=null; for r=0 to 1 by 0.1 do for theta=0 to 2*pi by pi/5 do d=[d;[r*cos(theta),r*sin(theta),-r^2*theta]];
genius> SurfacePlotData(d)

Version 1.0.16 onwards.

SurfacePlotDataGrid (data,[x1,x2,y1,y2])

SurfacePlotDataGrid (data,[x1,x2,y1,y2,z1,z2])

SurfacePlotDataGrid (data,[x1,x2,y1,y2],label)

SurfacePlotDataGrid (data,[x1,x2,y1,y2,z1,z2],label)

Plot a surface from regular rectangular data. The data is given in a n by m matrix where the rows are the x coordinate and the columns are the y coordinate. The x coordinate is divided into equal n-1 subintervals and y coordinate is divided into equal m-1 subintervals. The limits x1 and x2 give the interval on the x-axis that we use, and the limits y1 and y2 give the interval on the y-axis that we use. If the limits z1 and z2 are not given they are computed from the data (to be the extreme values from the data).

Optionally we can give the label, if label is not given then empty label is used.

Examples:

genius> SurfacePlotDataGrid([1,2;3,4],[0,1,0,1])
genius> SurfacePlotDataGrid(data,[-1,1,-1,1],"My data")
genius> d:=null; for i=1 to 20 do for j=1 to 10 do d@(i,j) = (0.1*i-1)^2-(0.1*j)^2;
genius> SurfacePlotDataGrid(d,[-1,1,0,1],"half a saddle")

Version 1.0.16 onwards.

SurfacePlotDrawLine (x1,y1,z1,x2,y2,z2,...)

SurfacePlotDrawLine (v,...)

Draw a line from x1,y1,z1 to x2,y2,z2. x1,y1,z1, x2,y2,z2 can be replaced by an n by 3 matrix for a longer polyline.

Extra parameters can be added to specify line color, thickness, the plotting window, or legend. You can do this by adding an argument string "color", "thickness", "window", or "legend", and after it specify the color, the thickness, the window as 6-vector, or the legend.

The color should be either a string indicating the common English word for the color that GTK will recognize such as "red", "blue", "yellow", etc... Alternatively the color can be specified in RGB format as "#rgb", "#rrggbb", or "#rrrrggggbbbb", where the r, g, or b are hex digits of the red, green, and blue components of the color. Finally, since version 1.0.18, the color can also be specified as a real vector specifying the red green and blue components where the components are between 0 and 1, e.g. [1.0,0.5,0.1].

The window should be given as usual as [x1,x2,y1,y2,z1,z2], or alternatively can be given as a string "fit" in which case, the x range will be set precisely and the y range will be set with five percent borders around the line.

Finally, legend should be a string that can be used as the legend in the graph. That is, if legends are being printed.

Examples:

genius> SurfacePlotDrawLine(0,0,0,1,1,1,"color","blue","thickness",3)
genius> SurfacePlotDrawLine([0,0,0;1,-1,2;-1,-1,-3])

Available from version 1.0.19 onwards.

SurfacePlotDrawPoints (x,y,z,...)

SurfacePlotDrawPoints (v,...)

Draw a point at x,y,z. The input can be an n by 3 matrix for n different points. This function has essentially the same input as SurfacePlotDrawLine.

Extra parameters can be added to specify line color, thickness, the plotting window, or legend. You can do this by adding an argument string "color", "thickness", "window", or "legend", and after it specify the color, the thickness, the window as 6-vector, or the legend.

VectorfieldClearSolutions ()

Clears the solutions drawn by the VectorfieldDrawSolution function.

Version 1.0.6 onwards.

VectorfieldDrawSolution (x, y, dt, tlen)

When a vector field plot is active, draw a solution with the specified initial condition. The standard Runge-Kutta method is used with increment dt for an interval of length tlen. Solutions stay on the graph until a different plot is shown or until you call VectorfieldClearSolutions. You can also use the graphical interface to draw solutions and specify initial conditions with the mouse.

Version 1.0.6 onwards.

VectorfieldPlot (funcx, funcy)

VectorfieldPlot (funcx, funcy, x1, x2, y1, y2)

Plot a two dimensional vector field. The function funcx should be the dx/dt of the vectorfield and the function funcy should be the dy/dt of the vectorfield. The functions should take two real numbers x and y, or a single complex number. When the parameter VectorfieldNormalized is true, then the magnitude of the vectors is normalized. That is, only the direction and not the magnitude is shown.

Optionally you can specify the limits of the plotting window as x1, x2, y1, y2. If limits are not specified, then the currently set limits apply (See LinePlotWindow).

The parameter LinePlotDrawLegends controls the drawing of the legend.

Examples:

genius> VectorfieldPlot(`(x,y)=x^2-y, `(x,y)=y^2-x, -1, 1, -1, 1)
