  (more to come)

How to use

To use the package you can import it through this command import "@preview/plotst:0.2.0": * (as soon as the pull request ist accepted). The documentation is found in the Docs.pdf in the docs folder. It contains all functions necessary to use this library. It also includes a tutorial to create every available plot under their respective render methods.

If you need some example code, check out main.typ in the examples folder. It also includes a compiled version of the current main.typ

Examples:

All these images were created using the main.typ

Scatter plots

    // Plot 1:
    // The data to be displayed  
    let gender_data = (
        ("w", 1), ("w", 3), ("w", 5), ("w", 4), ("m", 2), ("m", 2),
        ("m", 4), ("m", 6), ("d", 1), ("d", 9), ("d", 5), ("d", 8),
        ("d", 3), ("d", 1), (0, 11)
    )

    // Create the axes used for the chart
    let y_axis = axis(min: 0, max: 11, step: 1, location: "left", helper_lines: true, invert_markings: false, title: "foo")
    let x_axis = axis(values: ("", "m", "w", "d"), location: "bottom", helper_lines: true, invert_markings: false, title: "Gender")

    // Combine the axes and the data and feed it to the plot render function.
    let pl = plot(data: gender_data, axes: (x_axis, y_axis))
    scatter_plot(pl, (100%,50%))
	
	// Plot 2:
    // Same as above
    let data = (
        (0, 0), (2, 2), (3, 0), (4, 4), (5, 7), (6, 6), (7, 9), (8, 5), (9, 9), (10, 1)
    )
    let x_axis = axis(min: 0, max: 11, step: 2, location: "bottom")
    let y_axis = axis(min: 0, max: 11, step: 2, location: "left", helper_lines: false)
    let pl = plot(data: data, axes: (x_axis, y_axis))
    scatter_plot(pl, (100%, 25%))

Graph charts

    // The data to be displayed
	let data = (
      (0, 0), (2, 2), (3, 0), (4, 4), (5, 7), (6, 6), (7, 9), (8, 5), (9, 9), (10, 1)
    )
    
    // Create the axes used for the chart 
    let x_axis = axis(min: 0, max: 11, step: 2, location: "bottom")
    let y_axis = axis(min: 0, max: 11, step: 2, location: "left", helper_lines: false)
    
    // Combine the axes and the data and feed it to the plot render function.
    let pl = plot(data: data, axes: (x_axis, y_axis))
    graph_plot(pl, (100%, 25%))
    graph_plot(pl, (100%, 25%), rounding: 30%, caption: "Graph Plot with caption and rounding")

Histograms

  
  // Plot 1:
  // The data to be displayed
  let data = (
    18000, 18000, 18000, 18000, 18000, 18000, 18000, 18000,
    18000, 18000, 28000, 28000, 28000, 28000, 28000, 28000,
    28000, 28000, 28000, 28000, 28000, 28000, 28000, 28000,
    28000, 28000, 28000, 28000, 28000, 28000, 28000, 28000,
    35000, 46000, 75000, 95000
  )
  
  // Classify the data
  let classes = class_generator(10000, 50000, 4)
  classes.push(class(50000, 100000))
  classes = classify(data, classes)

  // Create the axes used for the chart 
  let x_axis = axis(min: 0, max: 100000, step: 10000, location: "bottom")
  let y_axis = axis(min: 0, max: 31, step: 5, location: "left", helper_lines: true)
  
  // Combine the axes and the data and feed it to the plot render function.
  let pl = plot(data: classes, axes: (x_axis, y_axis))
  histogram(pl, (100%, 40%), stroke: black, fill: (purple, blue, red, green, yellow))
  
  // Plot 2:
  // Create the different classes
  let classes = ()
  classes.push(class(11, 13))
  classes.push(class(13, 15))
  classes.push(class(1, 6))
  classes.push(class(6, 11))
  classes.push(class(15, 30))
  
  // Define the data to map
  let data = ((20, 2), (30, 7), (16, 12), (40, 13), (5, 17))
  
  // Create the axes
  let x_axis = axis(min: 0, max: 31, step: 1, location: "bottom", show_markings: false)
  let y_axis = axis(min: 0, max: 41, step: 5, location: "left", helper_lines: true)
  
  // Classify the data
  classes = classify(data, classes)

  // Combine the axes and the data and feed it to the plot render function.
  let pl = plot(axes: (x_axis, y_axis), data: classes)
  histogram(pl, (100%, 40%))

Bar charts

  // Plot 1:
  // The data to be displayed
  let data = ((10, "Monday"), (5, "Tuesday"), (15, "Wednesday"), (9, "Thursday"), (11, "Friday"))
  
  // Create the necessary axes
  let y_axis = axis(values: ("", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday"), location: "left", show_markings: true)
  let x_axis = axis(min: 0, max: 20, step: 2, location: "bottom", helper_lines: true)
  
  // Combine the axes and the data and feed it to the plot render function.
  let pl = plot(axes: (x_axis, y_axis), data: data)
  bar_chart(pl, (100%, 33%), fill: (purple, blue, red, green, yellow), bar_width: 70%, rotated: true)
  
  // Plot 2:
  // Same as above, but with numbers as data
  let data_2 = ((20, 2), (30, 7), (16, 12), (40, 13), (5, 17))
  let y_axis_2 = axis(min: 0, max: 41, step: 5, location: "left", show_markings: true, helper_lines: true)
  let x_axis_2 = axis(min: 0, max: 21, step: 1, location: "bottom")
  let pl_2 = plot(axes: (x_axis_2, y_axis_2), data: data_2)
  bar_chart(pl_2, (100%, 60%), bar_width: 100%)

Pie charts

  show: r => columns(2, r)

  // create the sample data
  let data = ((10, "Male"), (20, "Female"), (15, "Divers"), (2, "Other")
              
  // Skip the axis step, as no axes are needed
              
  // Put the data into a plot 
  let p = plot(data: data)
  
  // Display the pie_charts in all different display ways
  pie_chart(p, (100%, 20%), display_style: "legend-inside-chart")
  pie_chart(p, (100%, 20%), display_style: "hor-chart-legend")
  pie_chart(p, (100%, 20%), display_style: "hor-legend-chart")
  pie_chart(p, (100%, 20%), display_style: "vert-chart-legend")
  pie_chart(p, (100%, 20%), display_style: "vert-legend-chart")

Overlayed Graphs

    // Create the data for the two plots to overlay
	let data_scatter = (
      (0, 0), (2, 2), (3, 0), (4, 4), (5, 7), (6, 6), (7, 9), (8, 5), (9, 9), (10, 1)
    )
    let data_graph = (
        (0, 3), (1, 5), (2, 1), (3, 7), (4, 3), (5, 5), (6, 7),(7, 4),(11, 6)
      )
    
    // Create the axes for the overlay plot
    let x_axis = axis(min: 0, max: 11, step: 2, location: "bottom")
    let y_axis = axis(min: 0, max: 11, step: 2, location: "left", helper_lines: false)
    
    // create a plot for each individual plot type and save the render call
    let pl_scatter = plot(data: data_scatter, axes: (x_axis, y_axis))
    let scatter_display = scatter_plot(pl_scatter, (100%, 25%), stroke: red)
    let pl_graph = plot(data: data_graph, axes: (x_axis, y_axis))
    let graph_display = graph_plot(pl_graph, (100%, 25%), stroke: blue)
	
    // overlay the plots using the overlay function
    overlay((scatter_display, graph_display), (100%, 25%))
