Re: [Scilab-users] ?==?utf-8?q? Plots for scientific papers

[Pierre Vuillemin]

Hi all, 

* the last version no longer assumes that there is a legend,
* I've added a doc (header) with an example that should clarify the
options. I tend to use structure for options, i.e.

opt.line_thickness = 2 

prettify(h, opt) 

* now, the z-axis should also be modified.

Regards, 

Pierre 

nb: again, the last version is on my github [1].

Re: [Scilab-users] ?==?utf-8?q? Plots for scientific papers

[Jens Simon Strom]

Hallo Pierre,
prettyfy is great. It will save many people a lot of time and trouble. I 
do not often use a legend. Leaving it out produces an error and using an 
empty one looks ugly. So that's my suggestion.

Kind regards
Jens

Re: [Scilab-users] ?==?utf-8?q? Plots for scientific papers

[Claus Futtrup]

Hi Scilab user group / Pierre Vuillemin

About prettify ... I notice it can take options, so for example if I'd 
like to change default line_thickness to 1 (back to standard), I thought 
I could write just : prettify(g_rs,'line_thickness',1);


Scilab complains (wrong number of input arguments).

How can I utilize the smartness in "prettify.sci" correctly?

I gathered above would be correct because options are handled by 
struct() and help for struct indicated above use would be correct.


To any help and suggestions offered: Thank you.

Best regards,
Claus

Actually the plot came up with nice title, axis text, etc. ... I 
don't know what makes the prettyfy function crash on me ... Is it 
because the plot doesn't have a legend?


As mentioned, some error handling could do good. :-)

Let me work with it over some time ... the first attempt ended like 
this:

Here's the code which generated above error:

I'm not sure, but could it be that my graphs are created in a 
different way? I use scf() and gca() instead of gcf() ...


Instead of writing "prettyfy(t)" ... could I just feed gcf() 
directly into prettyfy ??


BTW, I'm using Scilab 5.5.0 at the moment.

at line  52 of function prettyfy called by :
prettyfy(gt);
at line1556 of exec file called by :
exec('C:\Users\claus\Documents\Scilab54\z3fit.sce', -1)

This is what the code looks like now:

scf();
drawlater();
plot(shortxlist,shortylist,'-b'); // Plot smoothed data
plot(shortxlist,blf1_array(boollist,2),'-r'); // Plot original data
t = gca();
set(t,"grid",[1 1]);
xgrid(color("grey70"));
xtitle("Bl density plot","Bl-value +/- 0.01% range","Quantity / Density");
drawnow();
gt = gcf();
prettyfy(gt);

Actually the plot came up with nice title, axis text, etc. ... I don't 
know what makes the prettyfy function crash on me ... Is it because the 
plot doesn't have a legend?


As mentioned, some error handling could do good. :-)

Let me work with it over some time ... the first attempt ended like this:

'font_size' property does not exist for this handle.

Here's the code which generated above error:

scf();
drawlater();
plot(shortxlist,shortylist,'-b'); // Plot smoothed data
plot(shortxlist,blf1_array(boollist,2),'-r'); // Plot original data

xtitle("Bl density plot","Bl-value +/- 0.01% range","Quantity / 
Density");

drawnow();
prettyfy(t);

I'm not sure, but could it be that my graphs are created in a 
different way? I use scf() and gca() instead of gcf() ...


Instead of writing "prettyfy(t)" ... could I just feed gcf() directly 
into prettyfy ??


BTW, I'm using Scilab 5.5.0 at the moment.

Hi

I'm using Python matplotlib for some graphs for scientific 
papers. The
reason is that the font and all seems to fit very well with the 
LaTeX

document.

I know that Scilab can accept MathML (or LaTeX) expressions. Is 
there a
simple way to configure Scilab for similar high-quality plots? 
... I'd
like all text to be nice looking, i.e. the title, the x-axis and
