function to build a plot consisting of scenes, options or lists of scenes and options.

function to build a 2D plot consisting of a single scene

function to build a 3D plot consisting of a single scene

writes the recently generated plot to a file. Options are:

terminal, dimensions, file_name, background_color

function to preset options and objects for subsequent plots.

Background color

Columns of scenes in multiplots

Delay between animated gif frames in 1/100 s

Data file name for gnuplot

Time step per frame in animated gif plots in 1/100 s

Dimension of the output

Dateiname für die Grafik.

font name

has no effect if font is empty

command file name for gnuplot

Output terminal, values:

png

string or list of strings to be transferred to gnuplot before any plot command

Position of a scene in the plot window. x and y run from 0..1 in standard math orientation Maxima: [[x0,y0],[dx,dy]]

if true, a grid is drawn on the xy plane

if true, the corresponding axis is logarithmic

fixed aspect ratio for axes: none, xy or xyz

title string for the scene

co-ordinate transformation for plotted objects

2D:

3D:

If true, the corresponding axis is drawn

color of the corresponding axis

if true, a secondary axis on the top or on the right is created

solid or dots

label string

none: no tics

number: step between consecutive tics

computed values

{n1,n2,...}

specified values

set of pairs

labels and positions

Use set() to specify Maxima sets

if true, tics and labels are plotted at the axis, else at the border

if true, tics are rotated by 90 degrees

Draw the border of polygons, rectangles, ellipses

if true, points are connected with lines if impulses, vertical lines are drawn to the x axis or the xy plane

If true, the corresponding axis in 2d scenes is displayed

if true, polygons, ellipses and rectangles are not filled

bar chart with bars defined by

line_width

x, y or xy or boxes

graph of an explicit function

maximum number of splittings used by the adaptive plotting routine

fill color if curve is filled

specify a function to limit the fill (e.g. 0 for filling up to the zero axis)

initial sampling grid

secondary sampling grid

alignment of labels, center, left or right

orientations of labels, horizontal or vertical

fill color

angle between segment and arrow heads in °

if true, both ends have an arrow head

head length in x axis units

filled, empty or nofilled

if true, vectors are drawn with unit length

if true, show the x, y and z axes

Range of values to include in the colorbar. Specify limits using

Controls how to draw and label the ticks on the colorbar

color scale: true, false or label string

none: no contour lines

base: on the xy-plane

surface: on the surface

both: xy plane and surface

map: xy plane and vertical view

n: number of equidistant lines

none: no special coloring

true: color mapping by

color mapping function, depending on global point co-ordinates or on parameter of surfaces or lines.

if true, the colorbar tics are logarithmic

mapping of values to colors. Options:

color

gray

if true, hidden parts are not plotted

view direction

vertical rotation about x horizontal rotation about z

if true, the grid lines are shown in enhanced3d mode

number of grid points for surface sampling along x or u

z level where to place the xy plane. if false, it is placed automatically
