Constructor Details

#initialize(*datasets) {|_self| ... } ⇒ Plot

Arguments

  • datasets are either instances of Dataset class or

    data, **dataset_options

    arrays from which Dataset may be created

  • options will be considered as ‘settable’ options of gnuplot (‘set xrange [1:10]’ for { xrange: 1..10 }, “set title ‘plot’” for { title: ‘plot’ } etc)

Yields:

  • (_self)

Dynamic Method Handling

This class handles dynamic methods through the method_missing method in the class GnuplotRB::Plottable

Instance Attribute Details

#datasets ⇒ Object (readonly)

Array of datasets which are plotted by this object.

#add_datasets(*datasets) ⇒ Object Also known as: add_dataset, <<

Overview

Create new Plot object where given datasets will be inserted into dataset list before given position (position = 0 by default).

Arguments

  • position - position where to insert given datasets

  • datasets - sequence of datasets to add

Example
sinx = Plot.new('sin(x)')
sinx_and_cosx_with_expx = sinx.add(['cos(x)'], ['exp(x)'])

cosx_and_sinx = sinx << ['cos(x)']

  datasets.unshift(0) unless datasets[0].is_a?(Numeric)
  self.class.new(@datasets.insert(*datasets), @options)
end

#plot(term = nil, multiplot_part: false, **options) ⇒ Object Also known as: replot

Overview

This outputs plot to term (if given) or to this plot’s own terminal.

Arguments

  • term - Terminal to plot to

  • multiplot_part - part of a multiplot. Option for inner usage

  • options - will be considered as ‘settable’ options of gnuplot (‘set xrange [1:10]’, ‘set title ’plot” etc)

Options passed here have priority over already existing.

end

#remove_dataset(position = -1)) ⇒ Object

Overview

Create new Plot object where dataset at given position will be removed from dataset list.

Arguments

  • position - position of dataset that should be removed (by default last dataset is removed)

Example
sinx_and_cosx = Plot.new('sin(x)', 'cos(x)')
sinx = sinx_and_cosx.remove_dataset
cosx = sinx_and_cosx.remove_dataset(0)

def remove_dataset(position = -1)
  self.class.new(@datasets.delete_at(position), @options)
end

#replace_dataset(position = 0, dataset) ⇒ Object

Overview

Create new Plot object where dataset at position will be replaced with the given one.

Arguments

  • position - position of dataset which you need to update (by default first dataset is replaced)

  • dataset - dataset to replace the old one. You can also give here [data, **dataset_options] array from which Dataset may be created.

Example
sinx = Plot.new('sin(x)')
cosx = sinx.replace_dataset(['cos(x)'])

end

#update_dataset(position = 0, data: nil, **options) ⇒ Object

Overview

Create new Plot object where dataset at position will be replaced with the new one created from it by updating.

Arguments

  • position - position of dataset which you need to update (by default first dataset is updated)

  • data - data to update dataset with

  • options - options to update dataset with

Example
updated_plot = plot.update_dataset(data: [x1,y1], title: 'After update')
