Plot styles by example

This tutorial shows various styles of presenting data when using DataMelt. As usual, we make a small Jython code snippets to illustrate various Canvas styles.

The base DataMelt code which makes data for the examples below is the same. It looks as:

from java.util import Random
from jhplot import * 

c1 =HPlot("Canvas")
c1.visible()
c1.setRange(0,100,0,100)

h1 = H1D("Histogram",20, 50.0, 100.0)
f1=F1D("cos(x)*x",1,50)
p1= P1D("X-Y data")

rand = Random(10)
for i in range(500):
      h1.fill(85+10*rand.nextGaussian())
      if (i<200): p1.add(56+7*rand.nextGaussian(),70+7*rand.nextGaussian())
c1.draw(f1)
c1.draw(h1)
c1.draw(p1)

Below we show how to apply various graphic styles when presenting these 3 objects: a histogram, a function and data points.

Article styles

Here are "scientific" styles: plots are all in black and while, nothing fancy.
