3.6 Org-Plot
============
Org-Plot can produce 2D and 3D graphs of information stored in org
tables using ‘Gnuplot’ <http://www.gnuplot.info/> and ‘gnuplot-mode’
<http://xafs.org/BruceRavel/GnuplotMode>. To see this in action, ensure
that you have both Gnuplot and Gnuplot mode installed on your system,
then call ‘org-plot/gnuplot’ on the following table.
#+PLOT: title:"Citas" ind:1 deps:(3) type:2d with:histograms set:"yrange [0:]"
| Sede | Max cites | H-index |
|-----------+-----------+---------|
| Chile | 257.72 | 21.39 |
| Leeds | 165.77 | 19.68 |
| Sao Paolo | 71.00 | 11.50 |
| Stockholm | 134.19 | 14.33 |
| Morelia | 257.56 | 17.67 |
Notice that Org Plot is smart enough to apply the table’s headers as
labels. Further control over the labels, type, content, and appearance
of plots can be exercised through the ‘#+PLOT:’ lines preceding a table.
See below for a complete list of Org-plot options. For more information
and examples see the Org-plot tutorial at
<http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-plot.html>.
Plot Options
............
‘set’
Specify any ‘gnuplot’ option to be set when graphing.
‘title’
Specify the title of the plot.
‘ind’
Specify which column of the table to use as the ‘x’ axis.
‘deps’
Specify the columns to graph as a Lisp style list, surrounded by
parentheses and separated by spaces for example ‘dep:(3 4)’ to
graph the third and fourth columns (defaults to graphing all other
columns aside from the ‘ind’ column).
‘type’
Specify whether the plot will be ‘2d’, ‘3d’, or ‘grid’.
‘with’
Specify a ‘with’ option to be inserted for every col being plotted
(e.g., ‘lines’, ‘points’, ‘boxes’, ‘impulses’, etc...). Defaults
to ‘lines’.
‘file’
If you want to plot to a file, specify
‘"PATH/TO/DESIRED/OUTPUT-FILE"’.
‘labels’
List of labels to be used for the ‘deps’ (defaults to the column
headers if they exist).
‘line’
Specify an entire line to be inserted in the Gnuplot script.
‘map’
When plotting ‘3d’ or ‘grid’ types, set this to ‘t’ to graph a flat
mapping rather than a ‘3d’ slope.
‘timefmt’
Specify format of Org mode timestamps as they will be parsed by
Gnuplot. Defaults to ‘%Y-%m-%d-%H:%M:%S’.
‘script’
If you want total control, you can specify a script file (place the
file name between double-quotes) which will be used to plot.
Before plotting, every instance of ‘$datafile’ in the specified
script will be replaced with the path to the generated data file.
Note: even if you set this option, you may still want to specify
the plot type, as that can impact the content of the data file.
