Points

-- Graphic object: points ([[<x1>,<y1>], [<x2>,<y2>],...]) -- Graphic object: points ([<x1>,<x2>,...], [<y1>,<y2>,...]) -- Graphic object: points ([<y1>,<y2>,...]) -- Graphic object: points ([[<x1>,<y1>,<z1>], [<x2>,<y2>,<z2>],...]) -- Graphic object: points ([<x1>,<x2>,...], [<y1>,<y2>,...], [<z1>,<z2>,...]) -- Graphic object: points (<matrix>) -- Graphic object: points (<1d_y_array>) -- Graphic object: points (<1d_x_array>, <1d_y_array>) -- Graphic object: points (<1d_x_array>, <1d_y_array>, <1d_z_array>) -- Graphic object: points (<2d_xy_array>) -- Graphic object: points (<2d_xyz_array>) Draws points in 2D and 3D.

This object is affected by the following graphic options: point_size, point_type, points_joined, line_width, key, line_type and color. In 3D mode, it is also affected by enhanced3d.

2D

points ([[<x1>,<y1>], [<x2>,<y2>],...]) or points ([<x1>,<x2>,...], [<y1>,<y2>,...]) plots points [x1,y1], [x2,y2], etc. If abscissas are not given, they are set to consecutive positive integers, so that points ([<y1>,<y2>,...]) draws points [1,<y1>], [2,<y2>], etc. If <matrix> is a two-column or two-row matrix, points (<matrix>) draws the associated points. If <matrix> is a one-column or one-row matrix, abscissas are assigned automatically.

If <1d_y_array> is a 1D lisp array of numbers, points (<1d_y_array>) plots them setting abscissas to consecutive positive integers. points (<1d_x_array>, <1d_y_array>) plots points with their coordinates taken from the two arrays passed as arguments. If <2d_xy_array> is a 2D array with two columns, or with two rows, points (<2d_xy_array>) plots the corresponding points on the plane.

Examples:

Two types of arguments for points, a list of pairs and two lists of separate coordinates.

          (%i1) load(draw)$

          (%i2) draw2d(

     Two arrays with separate coordinates.
          (%i1) load(draw)$
          (%i2) x: make_array (flonum, 100) $

          (%i3) for i:0 thru 99 do (
                  xy[i, 0]: float(i/100),

          (%i3) read_array (file_search ("pidigits.data"), a) $

3D

points ([[<x1>,<y1>,<z1>], [<x2>,<y2>,<z2>],...]) or points ([<x1>,<x2>,...], [<y1>,<y2>,...], [<z1>,<z2>,...]) plots points [<x1>,<y1>,<z1>], [<x2>,<y2>,<z2>], etc. If <matrix> is a three-column or three-row matrix, points (<matrix>) draws the associated points.

When arguments are lisp arrays, points (<1d_x_array>, <1d_y_array>, <1d_z_array>) takes coordinates from the three 1D arrays. If <2d_xyz_array> is a 2D array with three columns, or with three rows, points (<2d_xyz_array>) plots the corresponding points.

          (%i1) load(draw)$

                  xyz[i, 0]: random(10),

There are also some inexact matches for points. Try ?? points to see them.
