Source code for how to create a graph for inclusion in Luxor Documentation about luxor.jl

[StevenSiew]

You make want to check that it works first and maybe clean up the code a bit before adding it to your documentation. It was not originally designed for publication. I wrote it because I just want to see if I can get Luxor to plot a generic graph.

Haha, very good! A welcome PR.

I've carefully avoided positioning Luxor as a plotting tool, but ithis is a nice demonstration of graphical possibilities.

A good place to put it would be here: http://juliagraphics.github.io/Luxor.jl/dev/example/moreexamples/ ..

Personally, I'd adjust the aesthetics a bit - the axes are too heavy, since they're subordinate to the curves. A bit more Edward Tufte styling would be welcome!

since they're subordinate to the curves. A bit more Edward Tufte <https://www.edwardtufte.com/tufte/> styling would be welcome! You can adjust the thickness yourself. By the way, I do not know who Edward Tufta is. The code for the axes window are sethue("red") setline(4) """ Draw the outline of the graph box """ points = [Point(myplottingarea.xtopleft,myplottingarea.ytopleft), Point(myplottingarea.xbotleft,myplottingarea.ybotleft), Point(myplottingarea.xbotright,myplottingarea.ybotright)] poly(points, :stroke, close=false) setline(2) Anyway let me have some time to put the source code in a textfile so that I can test it before sending it to you.

Alright, this is my first attempt at sending you the source code.

I will attached a text file to this comment.

My attempt to attached the file "LuxorGraphDemo.jl" has failed

Apparently the comment does not support a file ending with .jl

I will rename LuxorGraphDemo.jl to LuxorGraphDemo.txt

Please rename the file back to LuxorGraphDemo.jl

LuxorGraphDemo.txt

Almost forgot, it's a textfile from a Mac machine. I am not sure if you need to convert it to a PC format. Let me know how it goes.

Thanks, I'll add it for the next release.

Cool, and thanks. If you want to make further changes, you can now make a Pull Request! - the code is in data/gallery/ now, and the graphic will be visible in the latest docs build once Github gets round to deploying them (which takes about an hour or more these days).

I made a few changes, but otherwise it's all your code.

None of the fonts you specified seem to be used in the file I generated - but this is quite usual, they never work properly on someone else's computer.
