1 Plotting: A Detailed Survey

This part of the manual returns to the subject of how PyXPlot may be used to produce graphs and other vector graphics. In this chapter, a systematic survey of how the appearance of plots can be configured is provided, continuing from the brief overview of the plot command given in Chapter 3. In the subsequent chapters, we will describe how to produce graphical output in a range of image formats (Chapter 2) and how to produce galleries of multiple plots side-by-side, together with more sophisticated vector graphics (Chapter 3).
