1 Plotting: A Detailed Survey

Having described PyXPlot’s mathematical environment and data-processing facilities in detail, this part of the manual returns to the subject of how PyXPlot may be used to produce graphs and other vector graphics. In this chapter we provide a systematic survey of how the appearance of plots can be configured, continuing from the brief overview of the plot command given in Chapter 3. In the subsequent chapters of this part, we will go on to describe how to produce graphical output in a range of image formats (Chapter 2) and how to produce galleries of multiple plots side-by-side together with more sophisticated vector graphics (Chapter 3).
