Graphics and media/Drawing graphs and diagrams

Draw graphs

With LuaMetaFun

• LuaMetafun manual (2021)
  • Contours
  • Surfaces
  • Meshes
  • Functions
  • Charts

• \startMPcode{doublefun}
  draw lmt_function [
  xmin =  0, xmax = 20, xstep = .1,
  ymin = -2, ymax =  2, ystep = .1,
  sx = 1mm, xsmall = 80, xlarge = 20,
  sy = 4mm, ysmall = 40, ylarge = 4,
  linewidth = .025mm, offset = .1mm,
  code = "1.5 * math.sind (50 * x - 150)",
  ]
  xsized 8cm;
  \stopMPcode

With graph modules

• 2020 graph module , by Tamara Kocurová, Adriana Kašparová and Tomáš Hála
  • Short presentation
  • Original source (broken)
    • The new graph module (2020)
    • Manual "Drawing Statistical Charts"
  • Mirror (checked 2025.01.12)
  • mirror of the statistical charts module

• Legacy graph module

With TikZ, Gnuplot, Pgfplot

• TikZ (2016)
• Gnuplot (2012)
• Pgfplot (2009).

Draw diagrams

• Flow charts based on graph module .
• Gantt charts
• Steps (XML step charts, by Pragma). This module is written in the process of defining a couple of styles for an educational math book.The macros provide you a way to visualize steps in for instance solving equations.
