gnuplot is a freely available, command-driven graphical display tool for Unix. It compiles and works quite well on a number of Unix flavours as well as other operating systems. The following module enables sending display requests to gnuplot through simple C calls.

Closes a gnuplot session previously opened by gnuplot_init().
Definition at line 188 of file gnuplot_i.c. |
|
Sends a command to an active gnuplot session.
Examples:
gnuplot_cmd(g, "plot %d*x", 23.0); gnuplot_cmd(g, "plot %g * cos(%g * x)", 32.0, -3.0); Since the communication to the gnuplot process is run through a standard Unix pipe, it is only unidirectional. This means that it is not possible for this interface to query an error status back from gnuplot. Definition at line 231 of file gnuplot_i.c. |

Find out where a command lives in your PATH.
The input character string must be the name of a command without prefixing path of any kind, i.e. only the command name. The returned string is the path in which a command matching the same name was found. Examples (assuming there is a prog named 'hello' in the cwd):
gnuplot_get_program_path("hello") returns "." gnuplot_get_program_path("ls") returns "/bin" gnuplot_get_program_path("csh") returns "/usr/bin" gnuplot_get_program_path("/bin/ls") returns NULL Definition at line 84 of file gnuplot_i.c. |
|
Opens up a gnuplot session, ready to receive commands.
The session must be closed using gnuplot_close(). Definition at line 145 of file gnuplot_i.c. Referenced by gnuplot_plot_once(). |
|
Plot a curve of given equation y=f(x).
Example:
gnuplot_ctrl *h ; char eq[80] ; h = gnuplot_init() ; strcpy(eq, "sin(x) * cos(2*x)") ; gnuplot_plot_equation(h, eq, "sine wave", normal) ; gnuplot_close(h) ; Definition at line 694 of file gnuplot_i.c. |
|
Open a new session, plot a signal, close the session.
It is Ok to provide an empty title, empty style, or empty labels for X and Y. Defaults are provided in this case. Definition at line 568 of file gnuplot_i.c. |
|
Plot a slope on a gnuplot session.
Example:
gnuplot_ctrl * h ; double a, b ; h = gnuplot_init() ; gnuplot_plot_slope(h, 1.0, 0.0, "unity slope") ; sleep(2) ; gnuplot_close(h) ; Definition at line 640 of file gnuplot_i.c. |
|
Plots a 2d graph from a list of doubles.
Example:
gnuplot_ctrl *h ; double d[50] ; int i ; h = gnuplot_init() ; for (i=0 ; i<50 ; i++) { d[i] = (double)(i*i) ; } gnuplot_plot_x(h, d, 50, "parabola") ; sleep(2) ; gnuplot_close(h) ; Definition at line 389 of file gnuplot_i.c. |
|
Plot a 2d graph from a list of points.
gnuplot_ctrl *h ; double x[50] ; double y[50] ; int i ; h = gnuplot_init() ; for (i=0 ; i<50 ; i++) { x[i] = (double)(i)/10.0 ; y[i] = x[i] * x[i] ; } gnuplot_plot1_xy(h, x, y, 50, "parabola") ; sleep(2) ; gnuplot_close(h) ; Definition at line 484 of file gnuplot_i.c. |
|
Resets a gnuplot session (next plot will erase previous ones).
Definition at line 343 of file gnuplot_i.c. |
