Struct plotpy::Curve

pub struct Curve { /* private fields */ }

Generates a curve (aka line-plot) given two arrays (x,y)

Notes

• This struct corresponds to the plot function of Matplotlib.
• You may plot a Scatter plot by setting line_style = “None”

Examples

Using methods to set the points

use plotpy::{Curve, Plot, StrError};
use std::f64::consts::PI;

fn main() -> Result<(), StrError> {
    // configure curve
    let mut curve = Curve::new();
    curve.set_line_width(2.0);

    // add points
    const N: usize = 30;
    curve.points_begin();
    for i in 0..N {
        let x = (i as f64) * 2.0 * PI / ((N - 1) as f64);
        let y = f64::sin(x);
        curve.points_add(x, y);
    }
    curve.points_end();

    // add curve to plot
    let mut plot = Plot::new();
    plot.add(&curve).grid_and_labels("x", "y");

    // configure multiple-of-pi formatter
    let minor_every = PI / 12.0;
    plot.set_ticks_x_multiple_of_pi(minor_every);

    // save figure
    plot.save("/tmp/plotpy/doc_tests/doc_curve_methods.svg")?;
    Ok(())
}

Using Vector with point data

use plotpy::{linspace, Curve, Plot, StrError};

fn main() -> Result<(), StrError> {
    // generate (x,y) points
    let x = linspace(-1.0, 1.0, 21);
    let y: Vec<_> = x.iter().map(|v| 1.0 / (1.0 + f64::exp(-5.0 * *v))).collect();

    // configure curve
    let mut curve = Curve::new();
    curve
        .set_label("logistic function")
        .set_line_alpha(0.8)
        .set_line_color("#5f9cd8")
        .set_line_style("-")
        .set_line_width(5.0)
        .set_marker_color("#eeea83")
        .set_marker_every(5)
        .set_marker_line_color("#da98d1")
        .set_marker_line_width(2.5)
        .set_marker_size(20.0)
        .set_marker_style("*");

    // draw curve
    curve.draw(&x, &y);

    // add curve to plot
    let mut plot = Plot::new();
    plot.add(&curve).set_num_ticks_y(11).grid_labels_legend("x", "y");

    // save figure
    plot.save("/tmp/plotpy/doc_tests/doc_curve.svg")?;
    Ok(())
}

Implementations

impl Curve

pub fn new() -> Self

Creates new Curve object

pub fn points_begin(&mut self) -> &mut Self

Begins adding points to the curve (2D only)

Warning

This function must be followed by Curve::points_add and Curve::points_end, otherwise Python/Matplotlib will fail.

pub fn points_add<T>(&mut self, x: T, y: T) -> &mut Self

where T: Display,

Adds point to the curve (2D only)

Warning

This function must be called after Curve::points_begin and must be followed by Curve::points_end, otherwise Python/Matplotlib will fail.

pub fn points_end(&mut self) -> &mut Self

Ends adding points to the curve (2D only)

Warning

This function must be called after Curve::points_begin and Curve::points_add, otherwise Python/Matplotlib will fail.

pub fn points_3d_begin(&mut self) -> &mut Self

Begins adding 3D points to the curve

Warning

This function must be followed by Curve::points_3d_add and Curve::points_3d_end, otherwise Python/Matplotlib will fail

pub fn points_3d_add<T>(&mut self, x: T, y: T, z: T) -> &mut Self

where T: Display,

Warning

This function must be called after Curve::points_3d_begin and must be followed by Curve::points_3d_end, otherwise Python/Matplotlib will fail.

pub fn points_3d_end(&mut self) -> &mut Self

Ends adding 3D points to the curve

Warning

This function must be called after Curve::points_3d_begin and Curve::points_3d_add, otherwise Python/Matplotlib will fail.
