S2PLOT Standard Primitives

The S2PLOT standard primitives are based on the PGPLOT primitives, having a very similiar functional interface, but with additional parameters for (x,y,z) data. Standard primitives include:

  • Points
  • Lines
  • Circles
  • Disks
  • Rectangles
  • Text
  • Arrows

The appearance of the primitives is controlled through attributes:

  • Colour
  • Linewidth
  • Character height
  • Arrowhead styles

In addition, for creating scientific graphs, there are functions to control:

  • Axes
  • Axis labels

More advanced plotting features include:

  • Data with error bars
  • Parametric curves of the form fx(t), fy(t) and fz(t)
  • Surfaces defined by functions of the form f(x, y)
  • Surfaces defined by a 2-d array of nx * ny values
  • Vector plots

The S2PLOT standard primitives are complemented by the native primatives.
