- Gnuplot::Plot
- Defined in:
- lib/gnuplot.rb
Overview
Holds command information and performs the formatting of that command information to a Gnuplot process. When constructing a new plot for gnuplot, this is the first object that must be instantiated. On this object set the various properties and add data sets.

Dynamic Method Handling
This class handles dynamic methods through the method_missing method
#method_missing(methId, *args) ⇒ Object
Invoke the set method on the plot using the name of the invoked method as the set variable and any arguments that have been passed as the value. See the set
method for more details.

Instance Method Details
#[](var) ⇒ Object
Return the current value of the variable. This will return the setting that is currently in the instance, not one that’s been given to a gnuplot process.

#add_data(ds) ⇒ Object
135 136 137 |
# File 'lib/gnuplot.rb', line 135 def add_data ( ds ) @data << ds end |
#set(var, value = "") ⇒ Object
Set a variable to the given value. Var
must be a gnuplot variable and value
must be the value to set it to. Automatic quoting will be performed if the variable requires it.
This is overloaded by the method_missing
method so see that for more readable code.
