[MUG] Plotting problems with text
Author: Anthony C Gotts    Posted: 20/09/2000 16:24:37 GDT
>> From: "Anthony C Gotts" Is it possible to put a title on a Maple plot that is more than one line long ? Is it also possible to label the y-axis say, so that the label runs parallel to the y-axis instead of perpendicular to it ? Any help on these two problems would be much appreciated.

For the title, insert \n for newline. For the labels, use the labeldirections option. Thus: plot(x, x=0..1, labels=["x","y"], title="A Two Line\nTitle", labeldirections=[HORIZONTAL,VERTICAL]); Robert Israel Department of Mathematics http://www.math.ubc.ca/~israel University of British Columbia Vancouver, BC, Canada V6T 1Z2 -=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=-=*=- Date: Fri, 22 Sep 2000 03:16:53 -0400 (EDT) From: Carl DeVore To: Subject: Plotting problems with text Both of these things are possible in release 6. Here's an example: > plot(x^2, x= -1..1 ,labels= [`The x axis`, `The y axis`] ,labeldirections= [HORIZONTAL,VERTICAL] ,title= `Line 1\nLine 2` ); The \n becomes the newline character in the title.

Look at this example: plot([x^2*sin(1/x),x^2,-x^2],x=-0.6..0.6,y=-0.1..0.1, color=[red,blue,green],labels=["Eje x","Eje y"], labeldirections=[HORIZONTAL,VERTICAL], legend=["x^2*sin(1/x)","curva mayorante","curva minorante"], title="El Teorema de Sandwich\nDemostracion Visual",titlefont=[TIMES,BOLDITALIC,14],tickmarks=[3,2]); Regards, Antonio Antonio Molina Castellano Mathematical Software Specialist ADDLINK SOFTWARE CIENTIFICO C/ Rosello, 205, 5th floor 08080 Barcelona (Spain) Phone: +34 93 415 49 04 Fax: +34 93 415 72 68 http://www.addlink.es/

[MUG] Plotting problems with text in MapleV4.

>> From: "Anthony C Gotts" I have posed the following two questions before, but I'm afraid I forgot to mention that I am currently using MapleV4 and have no means of gaining access to higher Versions. So, Is it possible to put a title on a MapleV4 plot that is more than one line long ? Is it also possible to label the y-axis say, so that the label runs parallel to the y-axis instead of perpendicular to it ? Again in MapleV4. I did try the suggestions sent but none of them seem to work. For a two line title the \n command just produces a square of circular character but no new line and the use of || for combining strings is not recognized in my version of Maple..

>> From: "Venkatramanan, Subramanian" Very useful information. Is it possible to have (distance, eta(in symbolic form)) as label?( that is a combination of text and symbol) I still use Maple V because I am not able to print Maple 6.(I use Windows NT, pentium 3 processor) The same program that consumes around 1MB RAM consumes more than 5 MB with Maple 6 (the program produces 3 D graphs).

However, you might be able to use "textplot" to produce two labels, one in a text font and the other with the Symbol font. For example: > with(plots): P1:= plot(x^2,x=-1..1,axes=normal,labels=[``,``]): P2:= textplot([0.7,-0.2,"(distance,"],align=LEFT): P3:= textplot([0.7,-0.2,"h)"],align=RIGHT,font=[SYMBOL,10]): display({P1,P2,P3}); Robert Israel Department of Mathematics http://www.math.ubc.ca/~israel University of British Columbia Vancouver, BC, Canada V6T 1Z2

>> From: "Douglas B. Meade" Venkat, The online help for plot,options describes how to change the font in the title, axes, and elsewhere in a Maple plot. In your case, you would want to specify a font of [SYMBOL,12] (or whatever size is appropriate). You can set the font for the title(titlefont), tickmarks (axesfont), and axis labels (labelfont) but cannot mix fonts within any one of these categories. That is, both labels must use the same font. The only workaround that I know for this problem is to use textplot to manually put text in a precise location and format in a plot. See the online help for textplot in the plots package.
