Inaccuracies in the "plotting" documentation on the Wiki #37

Closed khinsen closed 4 years ago

khinsen commented 4 years ago

The Wiki doesn't seem up to date with the code, and since GitHub doesn't support pull requests on Wiki pages, all I can do is point out what's not working.

  1. The default terminal type for gnuplot is qt, not wxt as claimed. If you use a gnuplot without qt support compiled in, you get neither a plot nor an error message. That took me a lot of time to figure out.

  2. The second example, (draw (plot2d (lines #'sin #'cos))), fails because lines is cl-ana.string-utils:lines, which expects string arguments. I haven't found anything shorter than (draw (plot2d (list (line #'sin) (line #'cos)))) to get the desired result. The lines function is also mentioned under "Plotting structure", but doesn't seem to exist any more.

Sorry for those errors in the documentation; it's been updated.
