# PGFPlots
[](https://github.com/DJDuque/pgfplots/actions/workflows/rust.yml)
[](https://crates.io/crates/pgfplots)
A Rust library to generate publication-quality figures. This crate is a PGFPlots
code generator, and provides utilities to create, customize, and compile
high-quality plots.
## Usage
Add the following to your `Cargo.toml` file:
```toml
[dependencies]
pgfplots = "0.5"
```
Plotting a quadratic function is as simple as:
```rust
use pgfplots::{axis::plot::Plot2D, Engine, Picture};
let mut plot = Plot2D::new();
plot.coordinates = (-100..100)
.into_iter()
.map(|i| (f64::from(i), f64::from(i*i)).into())
.collect();
Picture::from(plot).show_pdf(Engine::PdfLatex)?;
```
## [Examples](https://github.com/DJDuque/pgfplots/tree/main/examples)
A more extensive list of examples and their source code is available in the
`examples/` directory (runnable with
`cargo run --all-features --example example_name`).

## Features
- Tectonic: Allow users to process the LaTeX code that generates figures
without relying on any externally installed software, configuration, or
resource files. This is achieved by including the
[tectonic](https://crates.io/crates/tectonic) crate as a dependency.
