Functions Documentation

function to_command

const char * to_command(
    ArrowHeadStyle ahs
)

turns the enum plotpp::ArrowHeadStyle into its corresponding gnuplot command.

Return: a c-string with the command

function arrows

template <PtrOrMoved U1,
PtrOrMoved U2,
PtrOrMoved U3,
PtrOrMoved U4>
inline auto arrows(
    U1 && x1,
    U2 && y1,
    U3 && x2,
    U4 && y2
)

helper constructor function to construct an arrows, where all coordinates are absolute to the graphs origin.

Parameters:

• x1y1 The start coordinates of the Arrow
• x2y2 The end coordinates of the Arrow (absolute to the graphs origin)

Template Parameters:

• U1U2U3U4 Can either be:

• a pointer to data (The Arrow will not own the data, aka. not deconstruct it) or

• data that is moved (The Arrow will own the data, aka. destruct it) Further the datatype has to be a forward range because of the constructor Arrows::Arrows

Return: an Arrow class for plotting

Function that constructs an Arrow. This will automatically derive correct types from the data-ranges and converts them into an optional_ptr that may or may not be the owner of the data.

function vector

template <PtrOrMoved U1,
PtrOrMoved U2,
PtrOrMoved U3,
PtrOrMoved U4>
inline auto vector(
    U1 && x1,
    U2 && y1,
    U3 && x2,
    U4 && y2
)

helper constructor function to construct vectors, where all coordinates are absolute to the graphs origin.

Parameters:

• x1y1 The start coordinates of the Arrow
• x2y2 The end coordinates of the Arrow (absolute to the graphs origin)

Template Parameters:

• U1U2U3U4 Can either be:

• a pointer to data (The Arrow will not own the data, aka. not deconstruct it) or

• data that is moved (The Arrow will own the data, aka. destruct it) Further the datatype has to be a forward range because of the constructor Arrows::Arrows

Return: an Arrow class for plotting

Alias of arrows(U1&& x1, U2&& y1, U3&& x2, U4&& y2). Function that constructs vectors where all coordinates are absolute to the graphs origin. This will automatically derive correct types from the data-ranges and converts them into an optional_ptr that may or may not be the owner of the data.

inline auto quiver(

    U3 && u,
    U4 && v
)

helper constructor function to construct quivers (arrows), [x, y] are absolute starting positions and [u, v] are relative to the start of the arrow [x, y].

Parameters:

• xy The start coordinates of the Arrow
• uv The end coordinates of the Arrow (relative to the arrows start [x, y])

Template Parameters:

• U1U2U3U4 Can either be:

• a pointer to data (The Arrow will not own the data, aka. not deconstruct it) or

• data that is moved (The Arrow will own the data, aka. destruct it) Further the datatype has to be a forward range because of the constructor Arrows::Arrows

Return: an Arrow class for plotting

equivalent of calling arrows(x, y, u, v).dataRelation(DataRelation::relative). Function that constructs vectors where all [u, v] are relative to the arrows start [x, y]. This will automatically derive correct types from the data-ranges and converts them into an optional_ptr that may or may not be the owner of the data.
