Outdated egg!

This is an egg for CHICKEN 3, the unsupported old release. You're almost certainly looking for the CHICKEN 4 version of this egg, if it exists.

If it does not exist, there may be equivalent functionality provided by another egg; have a look at the egg index. Otherwise, please consider porting this egg to the current version of CHICKEN.

charplot

Introduction

An extension for character-mode plotting (originally from SLIB).

Requirements

array-lib

Documentation

charplot:dimensions

 [variable] charplot:dimensions

A list of the maximum height (number of lines) and maximum width (number of columns) for the graph, its scales, and labels.

The default value for charplot:dimensions is the output-port-height and output-port-width of current-output-port.

charplot-width, charplot-height

 [parameter] charplot-width
 [parameter] charplot-height

The default width and height of the plot. Defaults to 79 and 24, respectively.

plot

 [proedure] (plot coords x-label y-label)

coords is a list or vector of coordinates, lists of x and y coordinates. x-label and y-label are strings with which to label the x and y axes.

Example:

    (set! charplot:dimensions '(20 55))
    (define (make-points n)
      (if (zero? n)
          '()
          (cons (list (/ n 6) (sin (/ n 6))) (make-points (sub1 n)))))
    (plot (make-points 40) "x" "Sin(x)")
