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{axes} \ref{Authoring_Dynamic_Plot_Axes}
58: \item \textbf{tics} \ref{Authoring_Dynamic_Plot_Tics}
59: \item \textbf{title}, \textbf{xlabel}, and \textbf{ylabel}
60: \ref{Authoring_Dynamic_Plot_Title_X_Y_Label}
61: \end{itemize}
