DrawPlot

Function DrawPlot - produce a plot/drawing in a file

Calling Sequence DrawPlot(p,lo..hi)
DrawPlot(numlist)
DrawPlot(pairlist)
DrawPlot(objlist)
DrawPlot(plotset)
DrawPlot(plotset,lo..hi)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description

`p`	procedure	a numerical procedure
`lo..hi`	numeric..numeric	numerical range to plot
`numlist`	list(numeric)	a list of values joined by lines, the
		values are interpreted as coordinates
		(i,y[i])
`pairlist`	list([numeric, numeric])	a list of pairs (x[i],y[i]) joined
		by straight lines
`objlist`	list(object)	a list of objects (described below)
`plotset`	set(plots)	a list of any of the above plots

The format of the objects in objlist is:


left aligned text	LTEXT(x,y,string,points,angle,color)
centered text	CTEXT(x,y,string,points,angle,color)
right aligned text	RTEXT(x,y,string,points,angle,color)
line	LINE(x1,y1,x2,y2,color,width)
closed polygon	POLYGON(x1,y1,x2,y2,..., fill,color,width)
circle	CIRCLE(x,y,radius,fill,color,width)

x,x1,x2,y,y1,..	numeric values of coordinates
points	points=, size in points of the text
angle	angle=, angle of the text in degrees
color	color=[r,g,b], values of red/green/blue within 0..1
	(color is incompatible with fill)
fill	fill=, fill in color (0-black, 1-white)
	(fill is incompatible with color)
width	width=, width of lines in points

Return Type NULL

Synopsis Plot a set of objects creating PostScript output which is stored in a file. The name of the file can be set using Set(plotoutput). By default it is "temp.ps". It is assumed that all the objects being drawn are on the same x and y coordinates, that is all the x and y values are on the same units. Optional arguments are:

keyword	description

proportional	causes identical scaling for x and y axis
axis	forces x and y axes to be drawn
grid	forces a grid of lines to be drawn
topmargin=xx	xx (user) units of space are added at the top
botmargin=xx	xx (user) units of space are added at the bottom
leftmargin=xx	xx (user) units of space are added as left margin
rightmargin=xx	xx (user) units of space are added as right margin
