! 2:
! 3: The \textbf{gnuplot} tag allows an author to design a plot which is created
! 4: when it is viewed. This is intended for use in homework problems
! 5: where each student needs to see a distinct plot. It can be used in
! 6: conjunction with a \textbf{script} tag to generate random plots.
! 7:
! 8: The following parameters may be set:
! 9:
! 10: \begin{itemize}
! 11: \item \texttt{brief description of the plot}
! 12: This text is used as the \texttt{alt} parameter of the \texttt{img} tag
! 13: used to embed the plot.
! 14:
! 15: \item \texttt{background color of image (xffffff)}
! 16: See the section on color selection \ref{Authoring_Dynamic_Plot_Color_Selection}
! 17: for help on specifying colors.
! 18:
! 19: \item \texttt{foreground color of image (x000000)}
! 20:
! 21: See the section on color selection \ref{Authoring_Dynamic_Plot_Color_Selection}
! 22: for help on specifying colors.
! 23:
! 24: \item \texttt{height of image (pixels)}
! 25:
! 26: \item \texttt{width of image (pixels)}
! 27:
! 28: \item \texttt{Size of font to use} ``small'', ``medium'', or ``large''.
! 29: The font used for any text on the plot is set with this tag.
! 30:
! 31: \item \texttt{Transparent image} ``Yes'' or ``No''.
! 32: If the image is transparent the background color will be ignored.
! 33:
! 34: \item \texttt{Display grid} ``Yes'' or ``No''.
! 35:
! 36: \item \texttt{Number of samples for non-data plots} If a \textbf{function}
! 37: \ref{Authoring_Dynamic_Plot_Curve_Function} tag is used to specify the
! 38: \textbf{curve} \ref{Authoring_Dynamic_Plot_Curve}, this indicates the number
! 39: of sample points to use.
! 40:
! 41: \item \texttt{Draw border around plot} ``Yes'' or ``No''
! 42:
! 43: \item \texttt{alignment for image in html} ``Left'', ``Center'', or ``Right''.
! 44: This is the value used for the \texttt{align} parameter in the \texttt{img}
! 45: tag which embeds the plot in the problem.
! 46:
! 47: \item \texttt{Width of plot when printed (mm)}
! 48: \item \texttt{Plot type:} ``Cartesian'' or ``Polar''.
! 49: \end{itemize}
! 50:
! 51: The \textbf{gnuplot} tag allows the use of the the following tags:
! 52:
! 53: \begin{itemize}
! 54: \item \textbf{curve} \ref{Authoring_Dynamic_Plot_Curve}
! 55: \item \textbf{key} \ref{Authoring_Dynamic_Plot_Key}
! 56: \item \textbf{label} \ref{Authoring_Dynamic_Plot_Label}
! 57: \item \textbf{title} \ref{Authoring_Dynamic_Plot_Linestyle}
! 58: \item \textbf{axes} \ref{Authoring_Dynamic_Plot_Axes}
! 59: \item \textbf{tics} \ref{Authoring_Dynamic_Plot_Tics}
! 60: \item \textbf{title}, \textbf{xlabel}, and \textbf{ylabel}
! 61: \ref{Authoring_Dynamic_Plot_Title_X_Y_Label}
! 62: \end{itemize}
