{- | Modularized interface to gnuplot that allows complex graphics and fine control of their components. It is designed for non-interactive use, e.g. scripts for plotting statistics. The hierarchy of objects is as follows: * @Graph2D@: A curve like a sine curve. Attributes of a graph are line type, thickness, color. * @Graph3D@: A surface. * @Plot@: An overlay of many curves. It is parametrized by the graph type (2D or 3D) in order to make sure, that only graphs of one type are overlayed and only according attributes can be accessed. You cannot generate plots or graphs alone, you can only generate plots containing graphs using the functions in "Graphics.Gnuplot.Plot.TwoDimensional" and "Graphics.Gnuplot.Plot.ThreeDimensional". You can combine plots using the 'Monoid' type class. * @Frame@: Add options to a plot such as border, legend, title, label attributes. See "Graphics.Gnuplot.Frame" and "Graphics.Gnuplot.Frame.OptionSet". * @MultiPlot@: Arrange several frames in a matrix layout. See "Graphics.Gnuplot.MultiPlot". Although the Haskell wrapper shall save you from the burden of learning gnuplot script syntax, it happens frequently that people ask, how to express a certain gnuplot script using this package. Thus let's annotate the gnuplot script generated by @Demo.multiplot2d@ in order to show, what belongs to where: > # the terminal selection is part of the 'plot' command of this module > set terminal x11 > # multiplot initialization belongs to MultiPlot - of course > set multiplot layout 3, 5 > # hiding the names of the temporary files is a FrameOption > unset key > set xrange [-1.0:1.0] > # this plot contains only one graph, > # but several graphs could be given separated by commas > plot "curve0.csv" using 1:2 with lines > plot "curve1.csv" using 1:2 with lines > plot "curve2.csv" using 1:2 with lines > plot "curve3.csv" using 1:2 with lines > plot "curve4.csv" using 1:2 with lines > plot "curve5.csv" using 1:2 with lines > plot "curve6.csv" using 1:2 with lines > set xrange [-2.5:2.5] > set yrange [-2.5:2.5] > # this is a plot build from a Graph3D > splot "curve7.csv" using 1:2:3 with pm3d > set xrange [-1.0:1.0] > set yrange [*:*] > plot "curve8.csv" using 1:2 with lines > plot "curve9.csv" using 1:2 with lines > plot "curve10.csv" using 1:2 with lines > plot "curve11.csv" using 1:2 with lines > plot "curve12.csv" using 1:2 with lines > plot "curve13.csv" using 1:2 with lines > plot "curve14.csv" using 1:2 with lines > unset multiplot -} module Graphics.Gnuplot.Advanced ( plot, plotDefault, ) where import qualified Graphics.Gnuplot.Private.FrameOptionSet as OptionSet import qualified Graphics.Gnuplot.Private.Display as Display import qualified Graphics.Gnuplot.Private.Terminal as Terminal import qualified Graphics.Gnuplot.Execute as Exec import System.Exit (ExitCode, ) import qualified Data.Monoid.State as State import Data.Monoid (Monoid, mempty, ) import Graphics.Gnuplot.Utility (semiColonConcat, ) -- * User front-end {- | The plot function returns 'ExitCode', which is nice for programming but ugly for interactive GHCi sessions.
