Plot Values from a List Gen. by Program - hof - 01-14-2015 07:28 AM
Hello,
I'm new to this forum and new to the HP Prime.
I bought it in spite of all the criticism and must say that it works perfect for me. (latest firmware)
It's my first programmable calculator and I think it offers a large range of features.
Of course in comparision to matlab and mathcad there is still a way to go ;-), but for a portable device with such a long working duration on a battery its very nice.
I personaly use it in engineering and for making quick estimations in discussions.
So if i'm being asked I can type in the question and can reply it's 42 ;-)
Ok, now for my simple question:
If I make a program, which depends for example on a lookup-table like a list L0.
Is it possible to plot the result, perhaps written to vector/list L1 to the plot screen including the x an y scale?
Or is there a better approach?

My basic approach for plotting L0 vs L1 would utilize the "Statistics 2Var"-App and look like:
Code:
BEGIN
// ...
STARTAPP("Statistics 2Var"); // Set current app.
C1:=L0; C2:=L1; // Copy lists to app data columns.
SetIndep(S1,C1); // Dataset 1 is column 1 ...
SetDepend(S1,C2); // ... vs column 2.
Fit:=1; // Turn fit plot off, since we're interested in the data points only.
STARTVIEW(9); // Show autoscaled plot.
END;Greetings

Hello Snorre,
thanks, it works fine and partly solves the problem.
I actually thought of a graphics output like in excel where x and y axis are visible with numbers.
But as a first step its okay ;-)

Here is a code fragment you might like to review. It might serve as a building block for your own specific needs. (It's just a quick framework, not a complete charting program). The layout allows space to accommodate soft keys (Drawmenu) below, if you wanted to include it. X and Y pixels are equal for this example.
Code:
EXPORT XYChart()
BEGIN
LOCAL t,x;
RECT(); // Clear figure
LINE_P(51,4,51,214,RGB(128,128,128)); // v spine: from 4 to 214 pixels, 210 pixels long
LINE_P(51,109,261,109,RGB(128,128,128)); // h spine: from 51 to, 261 pixels, 210 pixels wide
TEXTOUT_P("Your Data",263,105,1,RGB(128,128,128));
for t from 4 to 214 step 210/10 do // V subticks, 4 pixels wide
LINE_P(49,t,53,t,RGB(128,128,128));
TEXTOUT_P((-t+109)/105,30,t-4,1,RGB(128,128,128)); // Annotate V-Axis
end;
x:=1;
for t from 51 to 261 step 210/10 do // H subticks. 4 pixels wide
LINE_P(t,107,t,111,RGB(128,128,128));
x:=NOT(x);
if x then TEXTOUT_P((t-156)/105,t-4,113,1,RGB(128,128,128)); end; // Annotate H-Axis
end; // H subticks
FREEZE;
RETURN;
END;Good luck!

Hello hof,
you can also set the plot window to show axis labels and numbers (only the current view limits per axis) by .
For more sophisticated graphing you should implement it by yourself as suggested by DrD, but that will be a tremendous task if you want to all the features of the builtin plot function (zooming, panning, tracing etc.).
It may be easier to define a VIEW function within an existing app which TEXTOUTs the numbers onto your current plot.
A skeleton might look like (but leaves much room for improvements):
Code:
VIEW "Show tick labels" ShowTickLabels()
BEGIN
LOCAL d:=PX→C(C→PX(0,0)+4),
x:=Xmin - Xmin MOD Xtick,
y:=Ymin - Ymin MOD Ytick;
WHILE x<Xmax DO
TEXTOUT(x,x,d(2),1);
x:=x+Xtick;
END;
WHILE y<Ymax DO
TEXTOUT(y,d(1),y,1);
y:=y+Ytick;
END;
END;Greetings

Thanks to you both for your nice work, I will try your suggestions in the next time.
My original thought was that this is an integrated feature of the calculator which would be very helpful.
I believe this should have been integrated in the first place and have been of a higher priority to the designers.
But at least it seems to be feasable in some way ;-), although its a bit disappointing.
Thanks again.
