💖 PLIMAGE(3plplot) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the PLplot API docs, this one's all about plimage and she is so much easier than she looks, promise 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

plimage — plot a 2D matrix using cmap1 with automatic color adjustment 🌈

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

plimage(idata, nx, ny, xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax, zmin, zmax, Dxmin, Dxmax,
Dymin, Dymax)

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So basically you're plotting a 2D matrix, right? And she does it with the cmap1 palette. The glow-up here is that the color scale is automatically adjusted — no cap — to use the maximum and minimum values in idata as valuemin and valuemax in a call to plimagefr(3plplot). It's giving "I did the math for you" energy 💅

Redacted form (the compact version, iykyk): General: plimage(idata, xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax, zmin, zmax, Dxmin, Dxmax, Dymin, Dymax)

Also! This function is used in example 20 👑 go look at it, it's iconic.

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • idata (PLFLT_MATRIX(3plplot), input) — a matrix containing the function values you wanna plot. She should have dimensions of nx by ny. ✨
  • nx, ny (PLINT(3plplot), input) — the dimensions of idata. literally just how big she is 🎀
  • xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax (PLFLT(3plplot), input) — the x and y index ranges get linearly transformed to these world coordinate ranges, such that idata[0][0] corresponds to (xmin, ymin) and idata[nx - 1][ny - 1] corresponds to (xmax, ymax). main character mapping fr fr 💜
  • zmin, zmax (PLFLT(3plplot), input) — only data between zmin and zmax (inclusive, bestie) will be plotted. everything else? not invited to the party 🙈
  • Dxmin, Dxmax, Dymin, Dymax (PLFLT(3plplot), input) — plot only the window of points whose plot coordinates fall inside the window of (Dxmin, Dymin) to (Dxmax, Dymax). it's a vibe check for your data 🔥
