< Modules
Gnuplot is a portable command-line driven utility for function plotting for many platforms.
Preliminary Modules
Some preliminary modules were contributed by Peter Münster [1] and Hans Hagen [2] [3] on the mailing list to enable inclusion of gnuplot graphs from ConTeXt. Follow the links mentioned above to see the details. General idea is to enable gnuplot graphics inclusion with simple commands such as:
% general settings for the whole document \startGNUPLOTinclusions set terminal postscript eps color set title 'Trigonometry' \stopGNUPLOTinclusions % creating the graphics \startGNUPLOTgraphics{sin} plot sin(x) \stopGNUPLOTgraphics % including the graphics into the document \useGNUPLOTgraphic[sin][width=5cm]
Note: Peter's module currently only works under Linux, Hans's module has problems with newlines. Hoping that that will be fixed ...
TODO
- Fix OS-specifics to make the module work
- Support multiple terminals
- ...
Alternatives for Function Plotting in ConTeXt
- in MetaPost
- m-graph Module (see Drawing Graphs with MetaPost by John D. Hobby)
- link to functions that Hans wrote in MetaFun
