Cambio tutto – OK panico addio.

Il blog è attivo da tanto, troppo tempo, senza manutenzione.
Bisognerebbe restaurarlo, recuperare qualcosa e buttare il resto, aggiornare il layout e anche gli argomenti trattati (la mission, i pheegies dicono così vero?) sarebbero da riconsiderare.
Troppo, provo con uno nuovo, ma niente di che, i link a cosa m’intriga di quel che vedo ontehtoobz e pochissimo di mio, insomma i miei appunti.

Qui: ah!’ppunti.

Se volete mi trovate là. E grassie per tutto il pesce 🐳

transform
Default value: none.

If transform is none, the space is not transformed and graphic objects are drawn as defined. When a space transformation is desired, a list must be assigned to option transform. In case of a 2D scene, the list takes the form [f1(x,y), f2(x,y), x, y]. In case of a 3D scene, the list is of the form [f1(x,y,z), f2(x,y,z), f3(x,y,z), x, y, z].

The names of the variables defined in the lists may be different to those used in the definitions of the graphic objects.

(%i1) th : %pi / 4$

(%i2) draw2d(
        color = "#e245f0",
        proportional_axes = 'xy,
        line_width = 8,
        triangle([3,2],[7,2],[5,5]),
        border = false,
        fill_color = yellow,
        transform = [cos(th)*x - sin(th)*y,
            sin(th)*x + cos(th)*y, x, y],
        triangle([3,2],[7,2],[5,5]) )$

Translation in 3D.

(%i3) draw3d(
        color = "#a02c00",
        explicit(20*exp(-x^2-y^2)-10,x,-3,3,y,-3,3),
        transform = [x+10,y+10,z+10,x,y,z],
        color = blue,
        explicit(20*exp(-x^2-y^2)-10,x,-3,3,y,-3,3) )$

transparent
Default value: false.

If transparent is false, interior regions of polygons are filled according to fill_color.

This option affects the following graphic objects in gr2d: polygon, rectangle and ellipse.

(%i4) draw2d(polygon([[3,2],[7,2],[5,5]]),
        transparent = true,
        color = blue,
        polygon([[5,2],[9,2],[7,5]]) )$

unit_vectors
Default value: false.

If unit_vectors is true, vectors are plotted with module 1. This is useful for plotting vector fields. If unit_vectors is false, vectors are plotted with its original length. This option is relevant only for vector objects.

(%i5) draw2d(xrange = [-1,6],
        yrange = [-1,6],
        head_length = 0.1,
        vector([0,0],[5,2]),
        unit_vectors = true,
        color = red,
        vector([0,3],[5,2]))$

user_preamble
Default value: "" (empty string).

Expert Gnuplot users can make use of this option to fine tune Gnuplot’s behaviour by writing settings to be sent before the plot or splot command.

The value of this option must be a string or a list of strings (one per line).

Since this is a global graphics option, its position in the scene description does not
matter.

Tell Gnuplot to draw axes and grid on top of graphics objects:

(%i6) draw2d(
        xaxis = true, xaxis_type=solid,
        yaxis = true, yaxis_type=solid,
        user_preamble = "set grid front",
        region(x^2+y^2<1 ,x,-1.5,1.5,y,-1.5,1.5))$

Tell gnuplot to draw all contour lines in black:

(%i7) draw3d(
        contour=both,
        surface_hide=true,enhanced3d=true,wired_surface=true,
        contour_levels=10,
        user_preamble="set for [i=1:8] linetype i dashtype i linecolor 0",
        explicit(sin(x)*cos(y),x,1,10,y,1,10));
(%o7)                          [gr3d(explicit)]

terminal
Default value: screen.

Selects the terminal to be used by Gnuplot; possible values are: screen (default), png, pngcairo, jpg, gif, eps, eps_color, epslatex, epslatex_standalone, svg, canvas, dumb, dumb_file, pdf, pdfcairo, wxt, animated_gif, multipage_pdfcairo, multipage_pdf, multipage_eps, multipage_eps_color, and aquaterm.

Terminals screen, wxt, windows and aquaterm can be also defined as a list with two elements: the name of the terminal itself and a non negative integer number. In this form, multiple windows can be opened at the same time, each with its corresponding number. This feature does not work in Windows platforms.

Since this is a global graphics option, its position in the scene description does not matter. It can be also used as an argument of function draw.

N.B. pdfcairo requires Gnuplot 4.3 or newer.pdf requires Gnuplot to be compiled with the option –enable-pdf and libpdf must be installed. The pdf library is available from here.

point_type
Default value: 1.

point_type indicates how isolated points are displayed; the value of this option can be any integer index greater or equal than -1, or the name of a point style:

     $none (-1)
     dot (0)
     plus (1)
     multiply (2)
     asterisk (3)
     square (4)
     filled_square (5)
     circle (6)
     filled_circle (7)
     up_triangle (8)
     filled_up_triangle (9)
     down_triangle (10)
     filled_down_triangle (11)
     diamant (12) and filled_diamant (13)

This option affects the graphic objects gr2d and gr3d.

(%i1) draw2d(xrange = [0,10],
        yrange = [0,10],
        point_size = 3,
        point_type = diamant,
        points([[1,1],[5,1],[9,1]]),
        point_type = filled_down_triangle,
        points([[1,2],[5,2],[9,2]]),
        point_type = asterisk,
        points([[1,3],[5,3],[9,3]]),
        point_type = filled_diamant,
        points([[1,4],[5,4],[9,4]]),
        point_type = 5,
        points([[1,5],[5,5],[9,5]]),
        point_type = 6,
        points([[1,6],[5,6],[9,6]]),
        point_type = filled_circle,
        points([[1,7],[5,7],[9,7]]),
        point_type = 8,
        points([[1,8],[5,8],[9,8]]),
        point_type = filled_diamant,
        points([[1,9],[5,9],[9,9]]) )$

points_joined
Default value: false.

When points_joined is true, points are joined by lines; when false, isolated points are drawn. A third possible value for this graphic option is impulses; in such case, vertical segments are drawn from points to the x-axis (2D) or to the xy-plane (3D).

(%i2) draw2d(xrange = [0,10],
        yrange = [0,4],
        point_size = 3,
        point_type = up_triangle,
        color = blue,
        points([[1,1],[5,1],[9,1]]),
        points_joined = true,
        point_type = square,
        line_type = dots,
        points([[1,2],[5,2],[9,2]]),
        point_type = circle,
        color = red,
        line_width = 7,
        points([[1,3],[5,3],[9,3]]) )$

proportional_axes
Default value: none.

When proportional_axes is equal to xy or xyz, the aspect ratio of the axis units will be set to 1:1 resulting in a 2D or 3D scene that will be drawn with axes proportional to their relative lengths. Since this is a global graphics option, its position in the scene description does not matter.

This option works with Gnuplot version 4.2.6 or greater.

Single 2D plot.

(%i3) draw2d(
        ellipse(0,0,1,1,0,360),
        transparent=true,
        color = blue,
        line_width = 4,
        ellipse(0,0,2,1/2,0,360),
        proportional_axes = 'xy) $

Multiplot.

(%i4) draw(
        terminal = wxt,
        gr2d(proportional_axes = 'xy,
            explicit(x^2, x, 0, 1)),
        gr2d(explicit(x^2, x, 0, 1),
            xrange = [0,1],
            yrange = [0,2],
            proportional_axes='xy),
        gr2d(explicit(x^2, x, 0, 1)))$

surface_hide
Default value: false.

If surface_hide is true, hidden parts are not plotted in 3d surfaces. Since this is a global graphics option, its position in the scene description does not matter.

(%i5) draw(columns=2,
        gr3d(explicit(exp(sin(x)+cos(x^2)),x,-3,3,y,-3,3)),
        gr3d(surface_hide = true,
            explicit(exp(sin(x)+cos(x^2)),x,-3,3,y,-3,3)) )$

palette
Default value: color.

palette indicates how to map gray levels onto color components. It works together with option enhanced3d in 3D graphics, who associates every point of a surfaces to a real number or gray level. It also works with gray images. With palette, levels are transformed into colors.

There are two ways for defining these transformations.

First, palette can be a vector of length three with components ranging from -36 to +36; each value is an index for a formula mapping the levels onto red, green and blue colors, respectively:

     0: 0               1: 0.5           2: 1
     3: x               4: x^2           5: x^3
     6: x^4             7: sqrt(x)       8: sqrt(sqrt(x))
     9: sin(90x)       10: cos(90x)     11: |x-0.5|
    12: (2x-1)^2       13: sin(180x)    14: |cos(180x)|
    15: sin(360x)      16: cos(360x)    17: |sin(360x)|
    18: |cos(360x)|    19: |sin(720x)|  20: |cos(720x)|
    21: 3x             22: 3x-1         23: 3x-2
    24: |3x-1|         25: |3x-2|       26: (3x-1)/2
    27: (3x-2)/2       28: |(3x-1)/2|   29: |(3x-2)/2|
    30: x/0.32-0.78125 31: 2*x-0.84     32: 4x;1;-2x+1.84;x/0.08-11.5
    33: |2*x - 0.5|    34: 2*x          35: 2*x - 0.5
    36: 2*x - 1

negative numbers mean negative colour component. palette = gray and palette = color are short cuts for palette = [3,3,3] and palette = [7,5,15], respectively.

Second, palette can be a user defined lookup table. In this case, the format for building a lookup table of length n is palette=[color_1, color_2, ..., color_n], where color_i is a well formed color (see option color) such that color_1 is assigned to the lowest gray level and color_n to the highest. The rest of colors are interpolated.

Since this is a global graphics option, its position in the scene description does not matter.

It works together with option enhanced3d in 3D graphics.

(%i1) draw3d(
        enhanced3d = [z-x+2*y, x, y, z],
        palette = [32, -8, 17],
        explicit(20*exp(-x^2-y^2)-10, x, -3, 3, y, -3, 3))$

It also works with gray images.

(%i2) im: apply(
        'matrix,
          makelist(makelist(random(200), i, 1, 30), i, 1, 30))$

(%i3) /* palette = color, default */
      draw2d(image(im, 0, 0, 30, 30))$

(%i4) draw2d(palette = gray, image(im, 0, 0, 30, 30))$

(%i5) draw2d(palette = [15, 20, -4],
        colorbox = false,
        image(im, 0, 0, 30, 30))$

palette can be a user defined lookup table. In this example, low values of x are colored in red, and higher values in yellow.

(%i6) draw3d(
        palette = [red, blue, yellow],
        enhanced3d = x,
        explicit(x^2+y^2, x, -1, 1, y, -1, 1))$

See also colorbox and enhanced3d.

point_size
Default value: 1.

point_size sets the size for plotted points. It must be a non negative number. This option has no effect when graphic option point_type is set to dot.

This option affects the graphic object points in either gr2d and gr3d.

(%i7) draw2d(points(makelist([random(20), random(50)], k, 1, 10)),
        point_size = 5,
        points(makelist(k, k, 1, 20), makelist(random(30), k, 1, 20)))$
