pub struct DualCoordChartContext<'a, DB: DrawingBackend, CT1: CoordTranslate, CT2: CoordTranslate> { /* private fields */ }
Expand description

The chart context that has two coordinate system attached. This situation is quite common, for example, we with two different coodinate system. For instance this example This is done by attaching a second coordinate system to ChartContext by method ChartContext::set_secondary_coord. For instance of dual coordinate charts, see this example. Note: DualCoordChartContext is always deref to the chart context.

Implementations

Convert the chart context into a chart state, similar to ChartContext::into_chart_state

Convert the chart context into a sharable chart state.

Copy the coordinate specs and make a chart state

Get a reference to the drawing area that uses the secondary coordinate system

Borrow a mutable reference to the chart context that uses the secondary coordinate system

Convert the chart context into the secondary coordinate translation function

Convert the chart context into a pair of closures that maps the pixel coordinate into the logical coordinate for both primary coordinate system and secondary coordinate system.

Start configure the style for the secondary axes

Draw a series use the secondary coordinate system.

  • series: The series to draw
  • Returns the series annotation object or error code

Methods from Deref<Target = ChartContext<'a, DB, CT1>>

Initialize a mesh configuration object and mesh drawing can be finalized by calling the function MeshStyle::draw.

Get the range of X axis

Get range of the Y axis

Maps the coordinate to the backend coordinate. This is typically used with an interactive chart.

Create an axis configuration object, to set line styles, labels, sizes, etc.

Default values for axis configuration are set by function Axes3dStyle::new().

Example
use plotters::prelude::*;
let drawing_area = SVGBackend::new("configure_axes.svg", (300, 200)).into_drawing_area();
drawing_area.fill(&WHITE).unwrap();
let mut chart_builder = ChartBuilder::on(&drawing_area);
let mut chart_context = chart_builder.margin_bottom(30).build_cartesian_3d(0.0..4.0, 0.0..3.0, 0.0..2.7).unwrap();
chart_context.configure_axes().tick_size(8).x_labels(4).y_labels(3).z_labels(2)
    .max_light_lines(5).axis_panel_style(GREEN.mix(0.1)).bold_grid_style(BLUE.mix(0.3))
    .light_grid_style(BLUE.mix(0.2)).label_style(("Calibri", 10))
    .x_formatter(&|x| format!("x={x}")).draw().unwrap();

The resulting chart reflects the customizations specified through configure_axes():

All these customizations are Axes3dStyle methods.

In the chart, tick_size(8) produces tick marks 8 pixels long. You can use (5u32).percent().max(5).in_pixels(chart.plotting_area() to tell Plotters to calculate the tick mark size as a percentage of the dimensions of the figure. See crate::style::RelativeSize and crate::style::SizeDesc for more information.

x_labels(4) specifies a maximum of 4 tick marks and labels in the X axis. max_light_lines(5) specifies a maximum of 5 minor grid lines between any two tick marks. axis_panel_style(GREEN.mix(0.1)) specifies the style of the panels in the background, a light green color. bold_grid_style(BLUE.mix(0.3)) and light_grid_style(BLUE.mix(0.2)) specify the style of the major and minor grid lines, respectively. label_style() specifies the text style of the axis labels, and x_formatter(|x| format!("x={x}")) specifies the string format of the X axis labels.

ChartContext::configure_mesh(), a similar function for 2D plots

Override the 3D projection matrix. This function allows to override the default projection matrix.

  • pf: A function that takes the default projection matrix configuration and returns the projection matrix. This function will allow you to adjust the pitch, yaw angle and the centeral point of the projection, etc. You can also build a projection matrix which is not relies on the default configuration as well.

Sets the 3d coordinate pixel range.

Configure the styles for drawing series labels in the chart

Example
use plotters::prelude::*;
let data = [(1.0, 3.3), (2., 2.1), (3., 1.5), (4., 1.9), (5., 1.0)];
let drawing_area = SVGBackend::new("configure_series_labels.svg", (300, 200)).into_drawing_area();
drawing_area.fill(&WHITE).unwrap();
let mut chart_builder = ChartBuilder::on(&drawing_area);
chart_builder.margin(7).set_left_and_bottom_label_area_size(20);
let mut chart_context = chart_builder.build_cartesian_2d(0.0..5.5, 0.0..5.5).unwrap();
chart_context.configure_mesh().draw().unwrap();
chart_context.draw_series(LineSeries::new(data, BLACK)).unwrap().label("Series 1")
    .legend(|(x,y)| Rectangle::new([(x - 15, y + 1), (x, y)], BLACK));
chart_context.configure_series_labels().position(SeriesLabelPosition::UpperRight).margin(20)
    .legend_area_size(5).border_style(BLUE).background_style(BLUE.mix(0.1)).label_font(("Calibri", 20)).draw().unwrap();

The result is a chart with one data series labeled “Series 1” in a blue legend box:

Get a reference of underlying plotting area

Cast the reference to a chart context to a reference to underlying coordinate specification.

Draws a data series. A data series in Plotters is abstracted as an iterator of elements.

See crate::series::LineSeries and ChartContext::configure_series_labels() for more information and examples.

Make the chart context, do not consume the chart context and clone the coordinate spec
