Struct gnuplot::Figure

pub struct Figure { /* fields omitted */ }

A figure that may contain multiple axes

Methods

impl Figure

fn new() -> Figure

Creates a new figure

fn set_terminal<'l>(
    &'l mut self,
    terminal: &str,
    output_file: &str
) -> &'l mut Figure

Sets the terminal for gnuplot to use, as well as the file to output the figure to. Terminals that spawn a GUI don't need an output file, so pass an empty string for those.

There are a quite a number of terminals, here are some commonly used ones:

• wxt - Interactive GUI
• pdfcairo - Saves the figure as a PDF file
• epscairo - Saves the figure as a EPS file
• pngcairo - Saves the figure as a PNG file

As of now you can hack the canvas size in by using "pngcairo size 600, 400" for terminal. Be prepared for that kludge to go away, though.

fn axes2d(&mut self) -> &mut Axes2D

Creates a set of 2D axes

fn axes3d(&mut self) -> &mut Axes3D

Creates a set of 3D axes

fn show(&mut self) -> &Figure

Launch a gnuplot process, if it hasn't been spawned already by a call to this function, and display the figure on it.

fn clear_axes(&mut self) -> &Figure

Clears all axes on this figure.

fn echo<'l, T: Writer>(&'l self, writer: &mut T) -> &'l Figure

Echo the commands that if piped to a gnuplot process would display the figure

Arguments

• writer - A function pointer that will be called multiple times with the command text and data

fn echo_to_file<'l>(&'l self, filename: &str) -> &'l Figure

Save to a file the the commands that if piped to a gnuplot process would display the figure

Arguments

• filename - Name of the file
