GR Reference

module GR

GR is a universal framework for cross-platform visualization applications. It offers developers a compact, portable and consistent graphics library for their programs. Applications range from publication quality 2D graphs to the representation of complex 3D scenes.

See https://gr-framework.org/julia.html for full documentation.

Basic usage: ```julia using GR GR.init() # optional plot(

[0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0], [0.3, 0.5, 0.4, 0.2, 0.6, 0.7]

) # GR.show() # Use if in a Jupyter Notebook ```

function isijulia()

function isatom()

function ispluto()

function isvscode()

function setraw!(raw)

function init(always::Bool = false)

init(always::Bool = false)

Initialize GR’s environmental variables before plotting and ensure that the binary shared libraries are loaded. Initialization usually only needs to be done once, but reinitialized may be required when settings change.

The always argument is true if initialization should be forced in the current and subsequent calls. It is false by default so that initialization only is done once.

# Extended Help

Environmental variables which influence init: GRDISPLAY - if “js” or “pluto”, javascript support is initialized GKS_NO_GUI - no initialization is done GKS_IGNORE_ENCODING - Force use of UTF-8 for font encoding, ignore GKS_ENCODING

Environmental variables set by init: GKS_FONTPATH - path to GR fonts, often the same as GRDIR GKS_USE_CAIRO_PNG GKSwstype - Graphics workstation type, see help for openws GKS_QT - Command to start QT backend via gksqt executable GKS_ENCODING - Sets the text encoding (e.g. Latin1 or UTF-8)

  • Move: M, m

    Moves the current position to (x, y). The new position is either absolute (M) or relative to the current position (m). The initial position of path is (0, 0).

    Example:

    >>> path([0.5, -0.1], [0.2, 0.1], "Mm")

    The first move command in this example moves the current position to the absolute coordinates (0.5, 0.2). The second move to performs a movement by (-0.1, 0.1) relative to the current position resulting in the point (0.4, 0.3).

  • Line: L, l

    Draws a line from the current position to the given position (x, y). The end point of the line is either absolute (L) or relative to the current position (l). The current position is set to the end point of the line.

    Example:

    >>> path([0.1, 0.5, 0.0], [0.1, 0.1, 0.2], "MLlS")

    The first line to command draws a straight line from the current position (0.1, 0.1) to the absolute position (0.5, 0.1) resulting in a horizontal line. The second line to command draws a vertical line relative to the current position resulting in the end point (0.5, 0.3).

  • Quadratic Bezier curve: Q, q

    Draws a quadratic bezier curve from the current position to the end point (x2, y2) using (x1, y1) as the control point. Both points are either absolute (Q) or relative to the current position (q). The current position is set to the end point of the bezier curve.

    Example:

    >>> path([0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.2, 0.4], [0.1, 0.2, 0.1, 0.1, 0.0], "MQqS")

    This example will generate two bezier curves whose start and end points are each located at y=0.1. As the control points are horizontally in the middle of each bezier curve with a higher y value both curves are symmetrical and bend slightly upwards in the middle. The current position is set to (0.9, 0.1) at the end.

  • Cubic Bezier curve: C, c

    Draws a cubic bezier curve from the current position to the end point (x3, y3) using (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) as the control points. All three points are either absolute (C) or relative to the current position (c). The current position is set to the end point of the bezier curve.

    Example:

    >>> path(
...     [0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3],
...     [0.1, 0.2, 0.0, 0.1, 0.1, -0.1, 0.0],
...     "MCcS"
... )

    This example will generate two bezier curves whose start and end points are each located at y=0.1. As the control points are equally spaced along the x-axis and the first is above and the second is below the start and end points this creates a wave-like shape for both bezier curves. The current position is set to (0.8, 0.1) at the end.

  • Ellipctical arc: A, a

    Draws an elliptical arc starting at the current position. The major axis of the ellipse is aligned with the x-axis and the minor axis is aligned with the y-axis of the plot. rx and ry are the ellipses radii along the major and minor axis. a1 and a2 define the start and end angle of the arc in radians. The current position is set to the end point of the arc. If a2 is greater than a1 the arc is drawn counter-clockwise, otherwise it is drawn clockwise. The a and A commands draw the same arc. The third coordinates of the x and y array are ignored and reserved for future use.

    Examples:

    >>> path([0.1, 0.2, -3.14159 / 2, 0.0], [0.1, 0.4, 3.14159 / 2, 0.0], "MAS")

    This example draws an arc starting at (0.1, 0.1). As the start angle -pi/2 is smaller than the end angle pi/2 the arc is drawn counter-clockwise. In this case the right half of an ellipse with an x radius of 0.2 and a y radius of 0.4 is shown. Therefore the current position is set to (0.1, 0.9) at the end.

    >>> path([0.1, 0.2, 3.14159 / 2, 0.0], [0.9, 0.4, -3.14159 / 2, 0.0], "MAS")

    This examples draws the same arc as the previous one. The only difference is that the starting point is now at (0.1, 0.9) and the start angle pi/2 is greater than the end angle -pi/2 so that the ellipse arc is drawn clockwise. Therefore the current position is set to (0.1, 0.1) at the end.

  • Close path: Z

    Closes the current path by connecting the current position to the target position of the last move command (m or M) with a straight line. If no move to was performed in this path it connects the current position to (0, 0). When the path is stroked this line will also be drawn.

  • Stroke path: S, s

    Strokes the path with the current border width and border color (set with gr.setborderwidth and gr.setbordercolorind). In case of s the path is closed beforehand, which is equivalent to ZS.

  • Fill path: F, f

    Fills the current path using the even-odd-rule using the current fill color. Filling a path implicitly closes the path. The fill color can be set using gr.setfillcolorind. In case of F the path is also stroked using the current border width and color afterwards.

setscale defines the current transformation according to the given scale specification which may be or’ed together using any of the above options. GR uses these options for all subsequent output primitives until another value is provided. The scale options are used to transform points from an abstract logarithmic or semi-logarithmic coordinate system, which may be flipped along each axis, into the world coordinate system.

Note: When applying a logarithmic transformation to a specific axis, the system assumes that the axes limits are greater than zero.

function inqscale()

function setwindow(xmin::Real, xmax::Real, ymin::Real, ymax::Real)

setwindow(xmin::Real, xmax::Real, ymin::Real, ymax::Real)

setwindow establishes a window, or rectangular subspace, of world coordinates to be plotted. If you desire log scaling or mirror-imaging of axes, use the SETSCALE function.

Parameters:

xmin :

The left horizontal coordinate of the window (xmin < xmax).

xmax :

The right horizontal coordinate of the window.

ymin :

The bottom vertical coordinate of the window (ymin < ymax).

ymax :

The top vertical coordinate of the window.

setwindow defines the rectangular portion of the World Coordinate space (WC) to be associated with the specified normalization transformation. The WC window and the Normalized Device Coordinates (NDC) viewport define the normalization transformation through which all output primitives are mapped. The WC window is mapped onto the rectangular NDC viewport which is, in turn, mapped onto the display surface of the open and active workstation, in device coordinates. By default, GR uses the range [0,1] x [0,1], in world coordinates, as the normalization transformation window.

function inqwindow()

function setviewport(xmin::Real, xmax::Real, ymin::Real, ymax::Real)

setviewport(xmin::Real, xmax::Real, ymin::Real, ymax::Real)

setviewport establishes a rectangular subspace of normalized device coordinates.

Parameters:

xmin :

The left horizontal coordinate of the viewport.

xmax :

The right horizontal coordinate of the viewport (0 <= xmin < xmax <= 1).

ymin :

The bottom vertical coordinate of the viewport.

ymax :

The top vertical coordinate of the viewport (0 <= ymin < ymax <= 1).

setviewport defines the rectangular portion of the Normalized Device Coordinate (NDC) space to be associated with the specified normalization transformation. The NDC viewport and World Coordinate (WC) window define the normalization transformation through which all output primitives pass. The WC window is mapped onto the rectangular NDC viewport which is, in turn, mapped onto the display surface of the open and active workstation, in device coordinates.

function inqviewport()

function selntran(transform::Int)

selntran(transform::Int)

selntran selects a predefined transformation from world coordinates to normalized device coordinates.

Parameters:

transform :

A normalization transformation number.

0

Selects the identity transformation in which both the window and viewport have the range of 0 to 1

>= 1

Selects a normalization transformation as defined by setwindow and setviewport

function setclip(indicator::Int)

setclip(indicator::Int)

Set the clipping indicator.

Parameters:

indicator :

An indicator specifying whether clipping is on or off.

0

Clipping is off. Data outside of the window will be drawn.

1

Clipping is on. Data outside of the window will not be drawn.

setclip enables or disables clipping of the image drawn in the current window. Clipping is defined as the removal of those portions of the graph that lie outside of the defined viewport. If clipping is on, GR does not draw generated output primitives past the viewport boundaries. If clipping is off, primitives may exceed the viewport boundaries, and they will be drawn to the edge of the workstation window. By default, clipping is on.

function setwswindow(xmin::Real, xmax::Real, ymin::Real, ymax::Real)

setwswindow(xmin::Real, xmax::Real, ymin::Real, ymax::Real)

Set the area of the NDC viewport that is to be drawn in the workstation window.

Parameters:

xmin :

The left horizontal coordinate of the workstation window.

xmax :

The right horizontal coordinate of the workstation window (0 <= xmin < xmax <= 1).

ymin :

The bottom vertical coordinate of the workstation window.

ymax :

The top vertical coordinate of the workstation window (0 <= ymin < ymax <= 1).

setwswindow defines the rectangular area of the Normalized Device Coordinate space to be output to the device. By default, the workstation transformation will map the range [0,1] x [0,1] in NDC onto the largest square on the workstation’s display surface. The aspect ratio of the workstation window is maintained at 1 to 1.

function setwsviewport(xmin::Real, xmax::Real, ymin::Real, ymax::Real)

setwsviewport(xmin::Real, xmax::Real, ymin::Real, ymax::Real)

Define the size of the workstation graphics window in meters.

Parameters:

xmin :

The left horizontal coordinate of the workstation viewport.

xmax :

The right horizontal coordinate of the workstation viewport.

ymin :

The bottom vertical coordinate of the workstation viewport.

ymax :

The top vertical coordinate of the workstation viewport.

setwsviewport places a workstation window on the display of the specified size in meters. This command allows the workstation window to be accurately sized for a display or hardcopy device, and is often useful for sizing graphs for desktop publishing applications.

Minimum value for the Z-axis.

zmax :

Maximum value for the Z-axis.

rotation :

Angle for the rotation of the X axis, in degrees.

tilt :

setspace establishes the limits of an abstract Z-axis and defines the angles for rotation and for the viewing angle (tilt) of a simulated three-dimensional graph, used for mapping corresponding output primitives into the current window. These settings are used for all subsequent three-dimensional output primitives until other values are specified. Angles of rotation and viewing angle must be specified between 0° and 90°.

function textext(x::Real, y::Real, string)

textext(x::Real, y::Real, string)

Parameters:

x :

The X coordinate of starting position of the text string

y :

The Y coordinate of starting position of the text string

string :

The text to be drawn

The values for X and Y are in normalized device coordinates. The attributes that control the appearance of text are text font and precision, character expansion factor, character spacing, text color index, character height, character up vector, text path and text alignment.

The character string is interpreted to be a simple mathematical formula. The following notations apply:

Subscripts and superscripts: These are indicated by carets (‘^’) and underscores (‘_’). If the sub/superscript contains more than one character, it must be enclosed in curly braces (‘{}’).

Fractions are typeset with A ‘/’ B, where A stands for the numerator and B for the denominator.

To include a Greek letter you must specify the corresponding keyword after a backslash (‘’) character. The text translator produces uppercase or lowercase Greek letters depending on the case of the keyword.
