=head1 NAME

PDL::Graphics::PLplot - Object-oriented interface from perl/PDL to the PLPLOT plotting library

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use PDL;
  use PDL::Graphics::PLplot;

  my $pl = PDL::Graphics::PLplot->new (DEV => "png", FILE => "test.png");
  my $x  = sequence(10);
  my $y  = $x**2;
  $pl->xyplot($x, $y);
  $pl->close;

Only version 5.15.0+ of PLplot is fully supported, due to a C-level API change
that is invisible at PDL-level. However, the library does support installation
with PLplot 5.13.0+.

For more information on PLplot, see

 http://www.plplot.org/

Also see the test file, F in this distribution for some working examples.

=head1 LONG NAMES

If you are annoyed by the long constructor call, consider installing the
L CPAN package. Using C, the above example
becomes

  use PDL;
  use aliased 'PDL::Graphics::PLplot';

  my $pl = PLplot->new (DEV => "png", FILE => "test.png");
  my $x  = sequence(10);
  # etc, as above

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This is the PDL interface to the PLplot graphics library.  It provides
a familiar 'perlish' Object Oriented interface as well as access to
the low-level PLplot commands from the C-API.

=head1 OPTIONS

The following options are supported.  Most options can be used
with any function.  A few are only supported on the call to 'new'.

=head2 Options used upon creation of a PLplot object (with 'new'):

=head3 BACKGROUND

Set the color for index 0, the plot background

=head3 DEV

Set the output device type.  To see a list of allowed types, try:

  PDL::Graphics::PLplot->new();

=for example

   PDL::Graphics::PLplot->new(DEV => 'png', FILE => 'test.png');

=head3 FILE

Set the output file or display.  For file output devices, sets
the output file name.  For graphical displays (like C<'xwin'>) sets
the name of the display, eg (C<'hostname.foobar.com:0'>)

=for example

   PDL::Graphics::PLplot->new(DEV => 'png',  FILE => 'test.png');
   PDL::Graphics::PLplot->new(DEV => 'xwin', FILE => ':0');

=head3 OPTS

Set plotting options.  See the PLplot documentation for the complete
listing of available options.  The value of C<'OPTS'> must be a hash
reference, whose keys are the names of the options.  For instance, to obtain
PostScript fonts with the ps output device, use:

=for example

   PDL::Graphics::PLplot->new(DEV => 'ps', OPTS => {drvopt => 'text=1'});

=head3 MEM

This option is used in conjunction with C<< DEV => 'mem' >>.  This option
takes as input a PDL image and allows one to 'decorate' it using PLplot.
The 'decorated' PDL image can then be written to an image file using,
for example, L.  This option may not be available if
plplot does not include the 'mem' driver.

=for example

  # read in Earth image and draw an equator.
  my $pl = PDL::Graphics::PLplot->new (MEM => $earth, DEV => 'mem');
  my $x  = pdl(-180, 180);
  my $y  = zeroes(2);
  $pl->xyplot($x, $y,
              BOX => [-180,180,-90,90],
              VIEWPORT => [0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1.0],
              XBOX => '', YBOX => '',
              PLOTTYPE => 'LINE');
  $pl->close;

=head3 FRAMECOLOR

Set color index 1, the frame color

=head3 JUST

A flag used to specify equal scale on the axes.  If this is
not specified, the default is to scale the axes to fit best on
the page.

=for example

  PDL::Graphics::PLplot->new(DEV => 'png',  FILE => 'test.png', JUST => 1);

=head3 ORIENTATION

The orientation of the plot:

  0 --   0 degrees (landscape mode)
  1 --  90 degrees (portrait mode)
  2 -- 180 degrees (seascape mode)
  3 -- 270 degrees (upside-down mode)

Intermediate values (0.2) are acceptable if you are feeling daring.

=for example

  # portrait orientation
  PDL::Graphics::PLplot->new(DEV => 'png',  FILE => 'test.png', ORIENTATION => 1);

=head3 PAGESIZE

Set the size in pixels of the output page.

=for example

  # PNG 500 by 600 pixels
  PDL::Graphics::PLplot->new(DEV => 'png',  FILE => 'test.png', PAGESIZE => [500,600]);

=head3 SUBPAGES

Set the number of sub pages in the plot, [$nx, $ny]

=for example

  # PNG 300 by 600 pixels
  # Two subpages stacked on top of one another.
  PDL::Graphics::PLplot->new(DEV => 'png',  FILE => 'test.png', PAGESIZE => [300,600],
                                              SUBPAGES => [1,2]);

=head2 Options used after initialization (after 'new')

=head3 BOX

Set the plotting box in world coordinates.  Used to explicitly
set the size of the plotting area.

=for example

 my $pl = PDL::Graphics::PLplot->new(DEV => 'png',  FILE => 'test.png');
 $pl->xyplot ($x, $y, BOX => [0,100,0,200]);

=head3 CHARSIZE

Set the size of text in multiples of the default size.
C<< CHARSIZE => 1.5 >> gives characters 1.5 times the normal size.

=head3 COLOR

Set the current color for plotting and character drawing.
Colors are specified not as color indices but as RGB triples.
Some pre-defined triples are included:

  BLACK        GREEN        WHEAT        BLUE
  RED          AQUAMARINE   GREY         BLUEVIOLET
  YELLOW       PINK         BROWN        CYAN
  TURQUOISE    MAGENTA      SALMON       WHITE
  ROYALBLUE    DEEPSKYBLUE  VIOLET       STEELBLUE1
  DEEPPINK     MAGENTA      DARKORCHID1  PALEVIOLETRED2
  TURQUOISE1   LIGHTSEAGREEN SKYBLUE     FORESTGREEN
  CHARTREUSE3  GOLD2        SIENNA1      CORAL
  HOTPINK      LIGHTCORAL   LIGHTPINK1   LIGHTGOLDENROD

=for example

 # These two are equivalent:
 $pl->xyplot ($x, $y, COLOR => 'YELLOW');
 $pl->xyplot ($x, $y, COLOR => [0,255,0]);

=head3 CONTOURLABELS

Control of labels for contour plots.

Must either be 0 (turn off contour labels), 1 (turn on default contour labels)
or a five element array:

 offset:  Offset of label from contour line (if set to 0.0, labels are printed on the lines). Default value is 0.006.
 size:    Font height for contour labels (normalized). Default value is 0.3.
 spacing: Spacing parameter for contour labels. Default value is 0.1.
 lexp:    If the contour numerical label is greater than 10^(lexp) or less than 10^(-lexp),
          then the exponential format is used. Default value of lexp is 4.
 sigdig:  Number of significant digits. Default value is 2";

=for example

 $pl->shadeplot ($z, $nsteps, BOX => [-1, 1, -1, 1], PLOTTYPE => 'CONTOUR', CONTOURLABELS => [0.004, 0.2, 0.2, 4, 2]);
 $pl->shadeplot ($z, $nsteps, BOX => [-1, 1, -1, 1], PLOTTYPE => 'CONTOUR', CONTOURLABELS => 0); # turn off labels
 $pl->shadeplot ($z, $nsteps, BOX => [-1, 1, -1, 1], PLOTTYPE => 'CONTOUR', CONTOURLABELS => 1); # use default labels

=head3 GRIDMAP

Set a user-defined grid map.  This is an X and Y vector that
tells what are the world coordinates for each pixel in $z
It is used in 'shadeplot' for non-standard mappings between the
input 2D surface to plot and the world coordinates.  For example
if your surface does not completely fill up the plotting window.

=for example

 my $z = $surface; # 2D PDL to plot (generated elsewhere)
 my $nlevels = 20;
 my ($nx, $ny) = $z->dims;
 my @zbounds = ($minx, $maxx, $miny, $maxy);

 # Map X coords linearly to X range, Y coords linearly to Y range
 my $xmap = ((sequence($nx)*(($zbounds[1] - $zbounds[0])/($nx - 1))) + $zbounds[0]);
 my $ymap = ((sequence($ny)*(($zbounds[3] - $zbounds[2])/($ny - 1))) + $zbounds[2]);
 $pl->shadeplot ($z, $nlevels, PALETTE => 'GREENRED', GRIDMAP => [$xmap, $ymap]);

=head3 GRIDMAP2

Set a user-defined two dimensional grid map.  These are 2D X and Y matrices that
tell what are the world coordinates for each pixel in $z
It is used in 'shadeplot' for non-standard mappings between the
input 2D surface to plot and the world coordinates, for example
irregular grids like polar projections.

=for example

 my $r_pts     = 40;
 my $theta_pts = 40;
 my $pi        = 4*atan2(1,1);
 my $nlevels   = 20;

 my $r     = ((sequence ($r_pts)) / ($r_pts - 1))->dummy (1, $theta_pts);
 my $z     = $r;  # or any other 2D surface to plot...
 my $theta = ((2 * $pi / ($theta_pts - 2)) * sequence ($theta_pts))->dummy (0, $r_pts);
 my $xmap  = $r * cos ($theta);
 my $ymap  = $r * sin ($theta);

 $pl->shadeplot ($z, $nlevels, PLOTTYPE => 'CONTOUR',
                               JUST     => 1,
                               BOX      => [-1,1,-1,1],
                               PALETTE  => 'GREENRED',
                               GRIDMAP2 => [$xmap, $ymap]);

=head3 LINEWIDTH

Set the line width for plotting.  Values range from 1 to a device dependent maximum.

=head3 LINESTYLE

Set the line style for plotting.  Pre-defined line styles use values 1 to 8, one being
a solid line, 2-8 being various dashed patterns.

=head3 MAJTICKSIZE

Set the length of major ticks as a fraction of the default setting.
One (default) means leave these ticks the normal size.

=head3 MINTICKSIZE

Set the length of minor ticks (and error bar terminals) as a fraction of the default setting.
One (default) means leave these ticks the normal size.

=head3 NXSUB

The number of minor tick marks between each major tick mark on the X axis.
Specify zero (default) to let PLplot compute this automatically.

=head3 NYSUB

The number of minor tick marks between each major tick mark on the Y axis.
Specify zero (default) to let PLplot compute this automatically.

=head3 PALETTE

Load pre-defined color map 1 color ranges.  Currently, values include:

  RAINBOW   -- from Red to Violet through the spectrum
  REVERSERAINBOW   -- Violet through Red
  GREYSCALE -- from black to white via grey.
  REVERSEGREYSCALE -- from white to black via grey.
  GREENRED  -- from green to red
  REDGREEN  -- from red to green

=for example

 # Plot x/y points with the z axis in color
 $pl->xyplot ($x, $y, PALETTE => 'RAINBOW', PLOTTYPE => 'POINTS', COLORMAP => $z);

=head3 PLOTTYPE

Specify which type of XY or shade plot is desired:

  LINE       -- A line
  POINTS     -- A bunch of symbols
  LINEPOINTS -- both

  or, for 'shadeplot':
  CONTOUR    -- A contour plot of 2D data
  SHADE      -- A shade plot of 2D data

=head3 STACKED_BAR_COLORS

For 'bargraph', request a stacked bar chart.
Must contain a reference to a perl list of color names or RGB triples.

=for example

 # $labels is a reference to a perl array with N x-axis labels
 # $values is an NxM PDL where M is the number of stacked bars (in this case 2,
 # since STACKED_BAR_COLORS contains two colors).
 $pl->bargraph($labels, $values, STACKED_BAR_COLORS => ['GREEN', [128,0,55]);

=head3 SUBPAGE

Set which subpage to plot on.  Subpages are numbered 1 to N.
A zero can be specified meaning 'advance to the next subpage' (just a call to
L).

=for example

  my $pl = PDL::Graphics::PLplot->new(DEV      => 'png',
                                        FILE     => 'test.png',
                                        SUBPAGES => [1,2]);
  $pl->xyplot ($x, $y, SUBPAGE => 1);
  $pl->xyplot ($a, $b, SUBPAGE => 2);

=head3 SYMBOL

Specify which symbol to use when plotting C<< PLOTTYPE => 'POINTS' >>.
A large variety of symbols are available, see:
http://plplot.sourceforge.net/examples-data/demo07/x07.*.png, where * is 01 - 17.
You are most likely to find good plotting symbols in the 800s:
http://plplot.sourceforge.net/examples-data/demo07/x07.06.png

=head3 SYMBOLSIZE

Specify the size of symbols plotted in multiples of the default size (1).
Value are real numbers from 0 to large.

=head3 TEXTPOSITION

Specify the placement of text.  Either relative to border, specified as:

 [$side, $disp, $pos, $just]

Where

  side = 't', 'b', 'l', or 'r' for top, bottom, left and right
  disp is the number of character heights out from the edge
  pos  is the position along the edge of the viewport, from 0 to 1.
  just tells where the reference point of the string is: 0 = left, 1 = right, 0.5 = center.

or inside the plot window, specified as:

 [$x, $y, $dx, $dy, $just]

Where

  x  = x coordinate of reference point of string.
  y  = y coordinate of reference point of string.
  dx   Together with dy, this specifies the inclination of the string.
       The baseline of the string is parallel to a line joining (x, y) to (x+dx, y+dy).
  dy   Together with dx, this specifies the inclination of the string.
  just Specifies the position of the string relative to its reference point.
       If just=0, the reference point is at the left and if just=1,
       it is at the right of the string. Other values of just give
       intermediate justifications.

=for example

 # Plot text on top of plot
 $pl->text ("Top label",  TEXTPOSITION => ['t', 4.0, 0.5, 0.5]);

 # Plot text in plotting area
 $pl->text ("Line label", TEXTPOSITION => [50, 60, 5, 5, 0.5]);

=head3 TITLE

Add a title on top of a plot.

=for example

 # Plot text on top of plot
 $pl->xyplot ($x, $y, TITLE => 'X vs. Y');

=head3 UNFILLED_BARS

For 'bargraph', if set to true then plot the bars as outlines
in the current color and not as filled boxes

=for example

 # Plot text on top of plot
 $pl->bargraph($labels, $values, UNFILLED_BARS => 1);

=head3 VIEWPORT

Set the location of the plotting window on the page.
Takes a four element array ref specifying:

 xmin -- The coordinate of the left-hand edge of the viewport. (0 to 1)
 xmax -- The coordinate of the right-hand edge of the viewport. (0 to 1)
 ymin -- The coordinate of the bottom edge of the viewport. (0 to 1)
 ymax -- The coordinate of the top edge of the viewport. (0 to 1)

You will need to use this to make color keys or insets.

=for example

 # Make a small plotting window in the lower left of the page
 $pl->xyplot ($x, $y, VIEWPORT => [0.1, 0.5, 0.1, 0.5]);

 # Also useful in creating color keys:
 $pl->xyplot   ($x, $y, PALETTE => 'RAINBOW', PLOTTYPE => 'POINTS', COLORMAP => $z);
 $pl->colorkey ($z, 'v', VIEWPORT => [0.93, 0.96, 0.15, 0.85]);

 # Plot an inset; first the primary data and then the inset. In this
 # case, the inset contains a selection of the orignal data
 $pl->xyplot ($x, $y);
 $pl->xyplot (where($x, $y, $x < 1.2), VIEWPORT => [0.7, 0.9, 0.6, 0.8]);

=head3 XBOX

Specify how to label the X axis of the plot as a string of option letters:

  a: Draws axis, X-axis is horizontal line (y=0), and Y-axis is vertical line (x=0).
  b: Draws bottom (X) or left (Y) edge of frame.
  c: Draws top (X) or right (Y) edge of frame.
  d: Plot labels as date / time. Values are assumed to be seconds since the epoch (as used by gmtime).
  f: Always use fixed point numeric labels.
  g: Draws a grid at the major tick interval.
  h: Draws a grid at the minor tick interval.
  i: Inverts tick marks, so they are drawn outwards, rather than inwards.
  l: Labels axis logarithmically. This only affects the labels, not the data,
     and so it is necessary to compute the logarithms of data points before
     passing them to any of the drawing routines.
  m: Writes numeric labels at major tick intervals in the
     unconventional location (above box for X, right of box for Y).
  n: Writes numeric labels at major tick intervals in the conventional location
     (below box for X, left of box for Y).
  s: Enables subticks between major ticks, only valid if t is also specified.
  t: Draws major ticks.

The default is C<'BCNST'> which draws lines around the plot, draws major and minor
ticks and labels major ticks.

=for example

 # plot two lines in a box with independent X axes labeled
 # differently on top and bottom
 $pl->xyplot($x1, $y, XBOX  => 'bnst',  # bottom line, bottom numbers, ticks, subticks
	              YBOX  => 'bnst'); # left line, left numbers, ticks, subticks
 $pl->xyplot($x2, $y, XBOX => 'cmst', # top line, top numbers, ticks, subticks
	              YBOX => 'cst',  # right line, ticks, subticks
	              BOX => [$x2->minmax, $y->minmax]);

=head3 XERRORBAR

Used only with L.  Draws horizontal error bars at all points (C<$x>, C<$y>) in the plot.
Specify a PDL containing the same number of points as C<$x> and C<$y>
which specifies the width of the error bar, which will be centered at (C<$x>, C<$y>).

=head3 XLAB

Specify a label for the X axis.

=head3 XTICK

Interval (in graph units/world coordinates) between major x axis tick marks.
Specify zero (default) to allow PLplot to compute this automatically.

=head3 YBOX

Specify how to label the Y axis of the plot as a string of option letters.
See L.

=head3 YERRORBAR

Used only for xyplot.  Draws vertical error bars at all points (C<$x>, C<$y>) in the plot.
Specify a PDL containing the same number of points as C<$x> and C<$y>
which specifies the width of the error bar, which will be centered at (C<$x>, C<$y>).

=head3 YLAB

Specify a label for the Y axis.

=head3 YTICK

Interval (in graph units/world coordinates) between major y axis tick marks.
Specify zero (default) to allow PLplot to compute this automatically.

=head3 ZRANGE

For L (when C is specified), for
L and for L.
Normally, the range of the Z variable (color) is taken as
C<< $z->minmax >>.  If a different range is desired,
specify it in C, like so:

  $pl->shadeplot ($z, $nlevels, PALETTE => 'GREENRED', ZRANGE => [0,100]);

or

  $pl->xyplot ($x, $y, PALETTE  => 'RAINBOW', PLOTTYPE => 'POINTS',
	               COLORMAP => $z,        ZRANGE => [-90,-20]);
  $pl->colorkey  ($z, 'v', VIEWPORT => [0.93, 0.96, 0.13, 0.85],
                       ZRANGE => [-90,-20]);

=head2 xyplot

=for ref

Plot XY lines and/or points.  Also supports color scales for points.
This function works with bad values.  If a bad value is specified for
a points plot, it is omitted.  If a bad value is specified for a line
plot, the bad value makes a gap in the line.  This is useful for
drawing maps; for example C<$x> and C<$y> can be the continent boundary
latitude and longitude.

=head2 stripplots

=for ref

Plot a set of strip plots with a common X axis, but with different Y axes.
Looks like a stack of long, thin XY plots, all line up on the same X axis.

=for usage

 Arguments:
 $xs -- 1D PDL with common X axis values, length = N
 $ys -- reference to a list of 1D PDLs with Y-axis values, length = N
        or 2D PDL with N x M elements

In addition, COLOR may be specified as a reference to a list of colors.  If
this is done, the colors are applied separately to each plot.

Also, the options Y_BASE and Y_GUTTER can be specified.  Y_BASE gives the Y offset
of the bottom of the lowest plot (0-1, specified like a VIEWPORT, defaults to 0.1) and Y_GUTTER
gives the gap between the graphs (0-1, default = 0.02).

=head2 bargraph

=for ref

Simple utility to plot a bar chart with labels on the X axis.
The usual options can be specified, plus one other:  MAXBARLABELS
specifies the maximum number of labels to allow on the X axis.
The default is 20.  If this value is exceeded, then every other
label is plotted.  If twice MAXBARLABELS is exceeded, then only
every third label is printed, and so on.

if UNFILLED_BARS is set to true, then plot the bars as outlines
and not as filled rectangles.

A stacked bar graph can be created if the STACKED_BAR_COLORS
option is set.  The option takes a reference to a perl list of
color names or RGB triplets.  If this option is set, then $x should
not be a 1-D PDL of N bar heights, but a 2D PDL of NxM where N is the
number of bars and M is the number of colors in STACKED_BAR_COLORS.

=for usage

 Arguments:
 $labels -- A reference to a perl list of strings.
 $values -- A PDL of values to be plotted.

  # [$side, $disp, $pos, $just]
  #
  # Where side = 't', 'b', 'l', or 'r' for top, bottom, left and right
  #              'tv', 'bv', 'lv' or 'rv' for top, bottom, left or right perpendicular to the axis.
  #
  #     disp is the number of character heights out from the edge
  #     pos  is the position along the edge of the viewport, from 0 to 1.
  #     just tells where the reference point of the string is: 0 = left, 1 = right, 0.5 = center.
  #
  # The '$pos' entry will be ignored (computed by the bargraph routine)
  $pl->bargraph($labels, $values, MAXBARLABELS => 30, TEXTPOSITION => ['bv', 0.5, 1.0, 1.0]);

=pod

The PDL low-level interface to the PLplot library closely mimics the C API.
Users are referred to the PLplot User's Manual, distributed with the source
PLplot tarball.  This manual is also available on-line at the PLplot web
site (L).

There are three differences in the way the functions are called.  The first
one is due to a limitation in the pp_def wrapper of PDL, which forces all
the non-ndarray arguments to be at the end of the arguments list.  It is
the case of strings (C) arguments in the C API.  This affects the
following functions:

  plaxes
  plbox
  plbox3
  plmtex
  plmtex3
  plstart
  plstripc
  plmap
  plmeridians
  plshades
  plshade1

This difference can be got around by a call to

  plplot_use_standard_argument_order(1);

This re-arranges the string arguments to their proper/intuitive position
compared with the C plplot interface.  This can be restored to its default
by calling:

  plplot_use_standard_argument_order(0);

The second notable different between the C and the PDL APIs is that many of
the PDL calls do not need arguments to specify the size of the the vectors
and/or matrices being passed.  These size parameters are deduced from the
size of the ndarrays, when possible and are just omitted from the C call
when translating it to perl.

The third difference has to do with output parameters.  In C these are
passed in with the input parameters.  In the perl interface, they are omitted.
For example:

C:

  pllegend(&p_legend_width, &p_legend_height,
           opt, position, x, y, plot_width, bg_color, bb_color, bb_style, nrow, ncolumn, nlegend,
           opt_array,
           text_offset, text_scale, text_spacing, text_justification,
           text_colors, (const char **)text, box_colors, box_patterns, box_scales, box_line_widths,
           line_colors, line_styles, line_widths, symbol_colors, symbol_scales, symbol_numbers, (const char **)symbols);

perl:

  my ($legend_width, $legend_height) =
    pllegend ($position, $opt, $x, $y, $plot_width, $bg_color, $nlegend,
    \@opt_array,
    $text_offset, $text_scale, $text_spacing, $test_justification,
    \@text_colors, \@text, \@box_colors, \@box_patterns, \@box_scales, \@line_colors,
    \@line_styles, \@line_widths, \@symbol_colors, \@symbol_scales, \@symbol_numbers, \@symbols);

Some of the API functions implemented in PDL have other specificities in
comparison with the C API and will be discussed below.

to do the label translation:

  my $labeltext = perl_labelfunc($axis, $value, $length);

No 'data' argument is used, it is assumed that global data or a closure containing
necessary data can be used in 'perl_labelfunc'.

PLplot gives many errors and warnings.  Some of these are given by the
PDL interface while others are internal PLplot messages.  Below are
some of these messages, and what you need to do to address them:

=item *
Box must be a ref to a four element array

When specifying a box, you must pass a reference to a
four-element array, or use an anonymous four-element array.

 # Gives trouble:
 $pl->xyplot($x, $y, BOX => (0, 0, 100, 200) );
 # What you meant to say was:
