Plotting

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

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)

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.

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 line.

Extra parameters can be added to specify line color, thickness, arrows, and the plotting window. You can do this by adding a string "color", "thickness", "window", or "arrow", and after it either the color string, the thicknes as an integer, the window as 4-vector, and for arrow either "origin", "end", "both", or "none". For "window" we can specify "fit" rather than a vector 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, the legend can be specified by adding "legend" and the string with the legend.

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(EulersMethodFull(`(x,y)=y,0,3,100),"color","blue","legend","The Solution")

LinePlotParametric (xfunc,yfunc,...)

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

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

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 limits are not specified, then the currently set limits apply (See LinePlotWindow).

The parameter LinePlotDrawLegends controls the drawing of the legend.

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).

The parameter LinePlotDrawLegends controls the drawing of the legend.

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> Slopefield(`(x,y)=sin(x-y),-5,5,-5,5)

SurfacePlot (func)

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

Plot a surface function which 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.

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)

VectorfieldClearSolutions ()

Clears the solutions drawn by the VectorfieldDrawSolution function.

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.

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)
