GnuPlot

The main type of the library. It provides a wrapper for calling gnuplot from F#. Plots are drawn using the Plot function and can be created using the Series type. For example:

// Create gnuplot process
let gp = GnuPlot()

// Plot a function specified as a string
gp.Plot("sin(x)")

// Create a simple line plot
gp.Plot(Series.Lines [2.0; 1.0; 2.0; 5.0])   

// Create a histogram plot drawn using blue color 
gp.Plot(Series.Histogram(lineColor=Color.Blue, data=[2.0; 1.0; 2.0; 5.0]))

Constructors

Constructor	Description
`new(path)` Signature: (path:string option) -> GnuPlot	Create a new instance of the `GnuPlot` object. This starts the `gnuplot` process in the background. The optional parameter `path` can be used to specify `gnuplot` location if it is not available in `PATH`.

Instance members

Instance member	Description
`Plot(data, style, range, output, titles)` Signature: (data:seq<Series> * style:Style option * range:Range option * output:Output option * titles:Titles option) -> unit	Draw a plot consisting of multiple data series. Range and style can be specified using optional parameters. For example: `// Create a simple line plot gp.Plot [ Series.Lines(title="Lines", data=[2.0; 1.0; 2.0; 5.0]) Series.Histogram(fill=Solid, data=[2.0; 1.0; 2.0; 5.0]) ]`
`Plot(data, style, range, output, titles)` Signature: (data:Series * style:Style option * range:Range option * output:Output option * titles:Titles option) -> unit	Draw a plot of a single data series. Range and style can be specified using optional parameters. For example: `// Create a simple line plot gp.Plot(Series.Lines [2.0; 1.0; 2.0; 5.0], range = RangeY.[-1.0 ..])`
`Plot(func, style, range, output, titles)` Signature: (func:string * style:Style option * range:Range option * output:Output option * titles:Titles option) -> unit	Draw a plot specified as a string. Range and style can be specified using optional parameters. For example: `// draw sin(x) function gp.Plot("sin(x)")`
`SendCommand(str)` Signature: str:string -> unit	Send a string command directly to the gnuplot process.
`Set(...)` Signature: (style:Style option * range:Range option * output:Output option * titles:Titles option * TimeFormatX:TimeFormatX option) -> unit	Set a style or a range of the gnuplot session. For example: `// set fill style to a numbered pattern gp.Set(style = Style(fill = Pattern(3))) // set the X range of the output plot to [-10:] gp.Set(range = RangeX.[-10.0 .. ]`
`Unset(style, range)` Signature: (style:Style option * range:Range option) -> unit	Reset style or range set previously (used mainly internally)
