### 8`` Plot and Renderer Parameters

(require plot) | package: plot-gui-lib

#### 8.1`` Compatibility

> parameter (plot-deprecation-warnings?) → boolean?
> (plot-deprecation-warnings? warnings) → void?
> warnings : boolean?
> = | #f

When #t, prints a deprecation warning to current-error-port on the first use of mix, line, contour, shade, surface, or a keyword argument of plot or plot3d that exists solely for backward compatibility.

#### 8.2`` Output

> parameter (plot-new-window?) → boolean?
> (plot-new-window? new-window?) → void?
> new-window? : boolean?
> = | #f

When #t, plot and plot3d open a new window for each plot instead of returning an image-snip%.

Users of command-line Racket, which cannot display image snips, should enter

> (plot-new-window? #t)

before using plot or plot3d.

> parameter (plot-width) → exact-positive-integer?
> (plot-width width) → void?
> width : exact-positive-integer?
> = | 400
> parameter (plot-height) → exact-positive-integer?
> (plot-height height) → void?
> height : exact-positive-integer?
> = | 400

The width and height of a plot, in logical drawing units (e.g. pixels for bitmap plots). Used for default arguments of plotting procedures such as plot and plot3d.

> parameter (plot-jpeg-quality) → (integer-in 0 100)
> (plot-jpeg-quality quality) → void?
> quality : (integer-in 0 100)
> = | 100

The quality of JPEG images written by plot-file and plot3d-file. See save-file.

> parameter (plot-ps/pdf-interactive?) → boolean?
> (plot-ps/pdf-interactive? interactive?) → void?
> interactive? : boolean?
> = | #f

If #t, plot-file and plot3d-file open a dialog when writing PostScript or PDF files. See post-script-dc% and pdf-dc%.

#### 8.3`` General Appearance

> parameter (plot-title) → (or/c string? #f)
> (plot-title title) → void?
> title : (or/c string? #f)

> parameter (plot-z-label) → (or/c string? #f)
> (plot-z-label label) → void?
> label : (or/c string? #f)
> = | #f

Title and near axis labels. A #f value means the label is not drawn and takes no space. A "" value effectively means the label is not drawn, but it takes space. Used as default keyword arguments of plotting procedures such as plot and plot3d.

> parameter (plot-x-far-label) → (or/c string? #f)
> (plot-x-far-label label) → void?
> label : (or/c string? #f)

> label : (or/c string? #f)
> = | #f

Far axis labels. A #f value means the label is not drawn and takes no space. A "" value effectively means the label is not drawn, but it takes space. See plot-x-ticks for a discussion of near and far axes.

> parameter (plot3d-samples) → (and/c exact-integer? (>=/c 2))
> (plot3d-samples n) → void?
> n : (and/c exact-integer? (>=/c 2))

Number of samples taken of functions plotted by 3D renderers, per-axis. Used as the default #:samples argument of surface3d, polar3d, isoline3d, contours3d, contour-intervals3d, isosurface3d and isosurfaces3d.

> parameter (plot3d-angle) → real?
> (plot3d-angle angle) → void?

> parameter (plot3d-altitude) → real?
> (plot3d-altitude altitude) → void?
> altitude : real?
> = | 60

The angle and altitude of the camera in rendering 3D plots, in degrees. Used as default keyword arguments of plotting procedures such as plot3d.

> = | 0
> parameter (plot-background) → plot-color/c
> (plot-background color) → void?
> color : plot-color/c
> = | 0

The plot foreground and background color. That both are 0 by default is not a mistake: for foreground colors, 0 is interpreted as black; for background colors, 0 is interpreted as white. See ->pen-color and ->brush-color for details on how Plot interprets integer colors.

> parameter (plot-foreground-alpha) → (real-in 0 1)
> (plot-foreground-alpha alpha) → void?
> alpha : (real-in 0 1)
> = | 1
> parameter (plot-background-alpha) → (real-in 0 1)

> (plot-x-far-tick-label-angle angle) → void?
> angle : real?
> = | 0
> parameter (plot-y-far-tick-label-angle) → real?
> (plot-y-far-tick-label-angle angle) → void?
> angle : real?
> = | 0

Anchor and angles for axis tick labels (2D only). Angles are in degrees. The anchor refers to the part of the label attached to the end of the tick line.

Set these when labels would otherwise overlap; for example, in histograms with long category names.

> > (parameterize ([plot-x-tick-label-anchor 'top-right]
> [plot-x-tick-label-angle 30])
> (plot (discrete-histogram '(#(really-long-category-name-1 2)
> #(long-category-name-2 1.75)
> #(long-category-name-3 2.5)))))

> parameter (plot-x-axis?) → boolean?
> (plot-x-axis? draw?) → void?
> draw? : boolean?
> = | #t
> parameter (plot-y-axis?) → boolean?
> (plot-y-axis? draw?) → void?
> draw? : boolean?
> = | #t
> parameter (plot-z-axis?) → boolean?
> (plot-z-axis? draw?) → void?
> draw? : boolean?
> = | #t
> parameter (plot-x-far-axis?) → boolean?
> (plot-x-far-axis? draw?) → void?
> draw? : boolean?
> = | #t
> parameter (plot-y-far-axis?) → boolean?
> (plot-y-far-axis? draw?) → void?
> draw? : boolean?
> = | #t
> parameter (plot-z-far-axis?) → boolean?
> (plot-z-far-axis? draw?) → void?
> draw? : boolean?
> = | #t

When any of these is #f, the corresponding axis is not drawn.

Use these along with x-axis and y-axis renderers if you want axes that intersect the origin or some other point.

> parameter (plot-x-tick-labels?) → boolean?
> (plot-x-tick-labels? draw?) → void?
> draw? : boolean?
> = | #t
> parameter (plot-y-tick-labels?) → boolean?
> (plot-y-tick-labels? draw?) → void?
> draw? : boolean?
> = | #t
> parameter (plot-z-tick-labels?) → boolean?
> (plot-z-tick-labels? draw?) → void?
> draw? : boolean?
> = | #t
> parameter (plot-x-far-tick-labels?) → boolean?
> (plot-x-far-tick-labels? draw?) → void?
> draw? : boolean?
> parameter (plot-y-far-tick-labels?) → boolean?
> (plot-y-far-tick-labels? draw?) → void?
> draw? : boolean?
> parameter (plot-z-far-tick-labels?) → boolean?
> (plot-z-far-tick-labels? draw?) → void?
> draw? : boolean?

When any of these is #f, the corresponding labels for the ticks on the axis are not drawn. These parameters work together with the parameters like plot-x-axis? that control the drawing of the axes; i.e. tick labels won’t be drawn unless the axis itself is drawn.

> parameter (plot-animating?) → boolean?
> (plot-animating? animating?) → void?
> animating? : boolean?
> = | #f

When #t, certain renderers draw simplified plots to speed up drawing. Plot sets it to #t, for example, when a user is clicking and dragging a 3D plot to rotate it.

> procedure (animated-samples samples) → (and/c exact-integer? (>=/c 2))
> samples : (and/c exact-integer? (>=/c 2))

Given a number of samples, returns the number of samples to use. This returns samples when plot-animating? is #f.

> parameter (plot-decorations?) → boolean?
> (plot-decorations? draw?) → void?
> draw? : boolean?
> = | #t

When #f, axes, axis labels, ticks, tick labels, and the title are not drawn.

#### 8.4`` Lines

> parameter (line-samples) → (and/c exact-integer? (>=/c 2))
> (line-samples n) → void?

The brush color/style, lower line pen color/width/style, upper line pen color/width/style, and opacity of interval plots. Used as default keyword arguments of function-interval, inverse-interval, lines-interval, parametric-interval and polar-interval.

#### 8.6`` Points and Point Labels

> parameter (point-sym) → point-sym/c
> (point-sym sym) → void?
> sym : point-sym/c
> = | 'circle
> parameter (point-size) → (>=/c 0)
> (point-size size) → void?
> size : (>=/c 0)
> = | 6
> parameter (point-alpha) → (real-in 0 1)
> (point-alpha alpha) → void?
> alpha : (real-in 0 1)
> = | 1

The symbol, and its size and opacity, used in point plots. Used as default keyword arguments of points and points3d.

> parameter (point-x-jitter) → (>=/c 0)
> (point-x-jitter x-jitter) → void?
> x-jitter : (>=/c 0)
> = | 0
> parameter (point-y-jitter) → (>=/c 0)
> (point-y-jitter y-jitter) → void?

> parameter (point-z-jitter) → (>=/c 0)
> (point-z-jitter z-jitter) → void?
> z-jitter : (>=/c 0)
> = | 0

When any of x-jitter, y-jitter, or z-jitter are non-zero, points and points3d will produce points randomly translated from their original position along the x, y, or z axis, respectively. For instance, if each parameter is set to 0.5, then points '(0 0) will produce a random point in a square of area 1 centered at '(0 0). Likewise points3d will make a random point within a unit cube centered at '(0 0 0).

> parameter (point-color) → plot-color/c
> (point-color color) → void?
> color : plot-color/c
> = | 0
> parameter (point-line-width) → (>=/c 0)

The default width, pen color/width/style, and opacity used by candlesticks. Both the up (a candle whose open value is lower than its close value) color and the down (a candle whose open value is higher than its close value) color can be specified independently. The width parameter will be important to specify if your x-axis is in units like days, weeks, or months. Because dates are actually represented as seconds from an epoch, your width should take that into consideration. For example, a width of 86400 may be useful for x-axis values in days as there are 86400 seconds in a day. This candle will be exactly one day in width.
