plot-gtk-ui: A quick way to use Mathematica like Manipulation abilities
A pre-built ui for plotting based on plot. Quicker to use than plot-gtk, but less configurable, and less versatile.
Only provides ability to plot mathematical functions. But, also allows dynamic plotting functionality similar to Mathematica.

[back to package description]plot-gtk-ui
An ambitious attempt to provide mathematica like dynamic plotting for free.
Installation
Linux
The installation for gtk requires that gtk2hs-buildtools be installed, and the binary be in your $PATH. The below commands take care of that, without permanently changing the $PATH.
$ cabal update
$ cabal install gtk2hs-buildtools
$ env PATH="~/.cabal/bin:$PATH" cabal install plot-gtk-ui
Windows
-
Install gtk2hs with instructions from here.
-
Then use cabal to install
plot-gtk-ui.
cmd> cabal install plot-gtk-ui
Usage
Import Graphics.Rendering.Plot.Gtk.UI and follow the examples below.
import Graphics.UI.Gtk
import Graphics.Rendering.Plot.Gtk.UI
main = do
initGUI
plotStatic sin (-pi, pi)
-- Plot sin(x) from -pi to pi
mainGUI
Another simple example.
import Graphics.UI.Gtk
import Graphics.Rendering.Plot.Gtk.UI
main = do
initGUI
plotDynamic (\(x, a) -> sin(a * x)) ((-pi, pi), (0, 1))
-- Plot sin(a * x), where 'x' ranges from -pi to
-- pi and 'a' ranges between 0 to 1
mainGUI
Errors
The error messages might not be completely correct, as there is not a good way to diagnose what caused the error.
Issues that cause errors:
- Invalid ranges, e.g. X-Range =
(1, -1) - Automatic-determination of ranges resulting in unplottable ranges, e.g.
(0, 0)
If you land on the "grey screen of on plots" or any other incorrect error message, please raise an issue here.
Implementation
The plotStatic and plotDynamic functions are implemented in a
type-safe manner using fixed-vector.
It also allows one to write functions using appropriate tuples as in the above examples.
Plotting is done using the excellent plot package.
