Instance Method Details

#plot(path = nil, **options) ⇒ Object

Overview

This method creates a gif animation where frames are plots already contained by Animation object.

Arguments

  • term - Terminal to plot to

  • 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. Inner options of Plots have the highest priority (except :term and :output which are ignored).
