I decided that the \Mfpic\ would +suite most of my needs. But writing \Mfpic\ commands is not easy. +Figure~\ref{fig:parabola}, for example, can be constructed using the +following \Mfpic\ commands: + +\footnotesize +\begin{verbatim} + 1 \mftitle{parabola} + \setlength{\mfpicunit}{1mm} + \begin{mfpic}[16][5.45]{0}{4}{-6}{5} + \axes + 5 \hatchwd{2} + \tlabel[bc](0,5.54){$y$} + \tlabel[cl](4.21,0){$x$} + \tlabel[tc](2,-0.18){\strut 2} + \tlabel[bc](3,0.18){\strut 3} +10 \tlabel[cr](-0.07,-5){\strut -5} + \tlabel[cr](-0.07,0){\strut 0} + \tlabel[cr](-0.07,4){\strut 4} + \rhatch\lclosed\connect + \lines{(0,0),(0,4)} +15 \function{0,3,.05}{4-x*x} + \lines{(3,-5),(3,0)} + \endconnect + \function{0,3.2,.05}{4-x*x} + \dotted\arrow\lines{(3,-5),(0,-5)} +20 \dotted\arrow\lines{(3,-5),(3,0)} + \tlabel[bc](3,4){\parbox[b]{60mm}{% + \center $f(x)=4-x^2$}} + \arrow\lines{(3,3.46),(1.7,1.1)} + \tlabel[bc](2,5){\parbox[b]{60mm}{% +25 \center Area $O_1$}} + \arrow\lines{(2,4.46),(1,2)} + \tlabel[bc](4,2){\parbox[b]{60mm}{% + \center Area $O_2$}} + \arrow\lines{(4,1.46),(2.8,-2)} +30 \end{mfpic} +\end{verbatim} +\normalsize + +\makefigure{parabola} +%\ctable[figure,label=fig:parabola,caption=parabola]{@{}c@{}}{}{\Figparabola} + +As you can see, this implies a lot of typing and one has to type many +nested [], \{\}, and () pairs. Also, several floating point numbers, +such as those in lines 6--12, depend on the scaling factors defined in +line 3. They have to be calculated manually, and changing the scale will +imply recalculation of those values. The scale itself is set in line 3: +I wanted the picture to be 64 mm wide, so I had to calculate +$64/(4-0)=16$ for the scaling factor in the x-direction. It would be +much easier if one could type something like: + +\footnotesize +\begin{verbatim} + 1 begin parabola 64 64 0 -6 4 5 $x$ $y$ + xmark 2 + Xmark 3 + ymark -5 0 4 + 5 bhat + lines 0 0 0 4 + func 0 3 .05 4-x*x + lines 3 -5 3 0 + ehat +10 func 0 3.2 .05 4-x*x + xydrop 3 -5 + arrow 3 4 1.7 1.1 $f(x)=4-x^2$ + arrow 2 5 1 2 Area $O_1$ + arrow 4 2 2.8 -2 Area $O_2$ +15 end + \end{verbatim} +\normalsize + +Here we see no brackets, braces or parentheses anymore, width and +height are set straightforwardly to 64 mm and the labels along the +axes are redefined as xmarks and ymarks, for which nothing has to be +given but the x- and y-values, respectively. The corresponding y- and +x-values are supposed to be calculated automatically. + +Another construction that frequently occurs in my pictures is a label +with an arrow starting from the center of its baseline, such as the +one in lines 21--23 in the long listing. This is replaced in the short +listing with line 12, where the starting position of the arrow is +supposed to be calculated automatically. As a result, if I want to +move the label, the arrow is moved with it automatically. + +All this is possible by using a \Perl\ interface that converts the +short command file into an \Mfpic\ source file. + +\section{The Perl interface} + +In the \Perl{} script \Mkpic{}, the available commands are all defined +in the subroutine \verb|parse_input|. My initial version defined only a +few commands, and while using the script, new commands were inserted +when they were needed. It's easy to insert your own new commands here, +just look at what's already there and create new commands by analogy. +The \verb|__DATA__| section of the script contains the picture needed +for this documentation (and some more). + +The first was the \textsl{begin} command, of course, which has also the +most complex definition, as it defines many scale-dependent variables +and \TeX{} commands that might be useful for any command defined later. + +\subsection{How to use mkpic} +First of all, read the manpage of the \Perl-script, generated from the +script using pod2latex, which is shown in section~\ref{manpage}. + +The easiest way to use the script is to append your own commands to +the \verb|__DATA__| section of the script, maybe after removing what's +already there, and run it. This will produce a file mkpic.sty, which +provides \LaTeX-commands named \verb|\Fig<name>|, where \verb|<name>| +stands for every name you use in the \textsl{begin} command. Finally, +you can use those \verb|\Fig<name>| commands in a \LaTeX{} document. + +\section{Some more examples} +Here are a few more examples illustrating some features of the \Mkpic{} +script: + +The following commands will produce figure~\ref{fig:droparrows}: + +\footnotesize +\begin{verbatim} + 1 begin droparrows 64 64 0 3 12 8 $x$ $y$ + xmark $a$ 2 $x_1$ 4 $x_2$ 8 $b$ 10 + ydrop 2 4.414 + ydrop 4 5 + 5 ydrop 8 5.828 + ydrop 10 6.162 + label cc 4 4 $f(x_1)$ + label cc 8 4 $f(x_2)$ + label cc 7 8 $f(x)$ increases on $[a,b]$ +10 label cc 7 7.5 $x_1<x_2\Rightarrow f(x_1)<F(x_2)$ + func 1 11 .1 x**(.5)+3 + end +\end{verbatim} +\normalsize + +\makefigure{droparrows} + +These commands illustrate how valid \Mfpic{} commands can be +interspersed between \Mkpic{} commands (see figure~\ref{fig:asymptotes}: + +\footnotesize +\begin{verbatim} + 1 begin asymptotes 64 64 0 0 10 10 $x$ $y$ + curve 1 1 2 3 4 5.7 7 8.1 9 9 + \shift{(-.05,.05)} + point 2 3 4 5.7 7 8.1 + 5 \shift{(-.05,.05)} + func 1.4 2.6 .1 1.65*x-.3 + func 3.2 4.8 .1 1.025*x+1.6 + func 6.1 7.9 .1 .62*x+3.76 + label cl 9.5 9 $f(x)$ +10 label tl 5 5 $f^\prime(x)>0$ + label tl 5 4 $f^\prime(x)$ decreasing + end +\end{verbatim} +\normalsize + +\makefigure{asymptotes} + +Figure~\ref{fig:inflections} is produced by: + +\footnotesize +\begin{verbatim} + 1 begin inflections 64 64 -.85 -1.5 1.5 5 $x$ $y$ + func -.6 1.5 .05 6*(x**4)-8*(x**3)+1 + lines -.2 1 .2 1 + label cr -.25 1 horizontal + 5 arrow .5 2 0 1 inflection point + arrow .8 1 .65 0 inflection point + arrow 1 5 1.5 4.375 $f(x)=6x^4-8x^3+1$ + Xmark 1 + ymark \raisebox{-3.5mm}{0} 0 -1 +10 xydrop 1 -1 + end +\end{verbatim} +\normalsize + +\makefigure{inflections} + +And here is an elaborate quasi 3D picture. +It shows how comments can be inserted. +Standard axes are suppressed because they need special treatment (see figure~\ref{fig:paraboloid}): + +\footnotesize +\begin{verbatim} + 1 begin paraboloid 64 64 -4 -4 4 4 - - + \dashed + lines -4 0 0 0 0 0 0 -4 # neg z and neg y + \dashed + 5 lines 0 0 3 1.73 # neg x + \arrow + lines 0 0 0 4 # pos y + \arrow[5] + lines 0 0 4 0 # pos z +10 \arrow[5] + lines 0 0 -3 -1.73 # pos x + \dotted + lines -1 4 -1 0 -4 -1.73 # intersections y=-1 plane + \dotted +15 lines -1 -.577 -4 -.577 # intersection x=2 plane with xy-plane + % extra helplines + \dotted + lines -2 .423 -2 -.577 0 0 0 1 -2 .423 + Ymark 3 +20 % end of extras + \dotted + lines 0 3 -1 3 -4 1.27 + \dashed\sclosed + curve -3 2.42 -1.5 2.711 -1 2.42 -2.5 2.134 +25 label bc 0 \yhi $z$ + label cl \xhi 0 $y$ + label tr -3.1 -1.8 $x$ + label cl -.85 -.577 2 + label tc 0 5.5 $f(x,y)=x^2-4x+2y^2+4y+7$ +30 xmark -1 + Ymark 1 + \shift{(-2,.42)} + \dashed + func 0 .5 .1 9*x*x +35 func -.5 0 .1 7*x*x + \dashed + func -1 0 .1 2*x*x + func 0 1 .1 2*x*x + end +\end{verbatim} +\normalsize +\vspace*{3ex} +\makefigure{paraboloid} + +\setcounter{secnumdepth}{1} +\onecolumn +\newpage +\section{The mkpic manpage\label{manpage}} +\small + +\subsection{mkpic - interface for making pictures with mfpic} + +\subsection{Synopsis\label{SYNOPSIS}\index{SYNOPSIS}} + +mkpic [options] [picfile] + +options: + +\begin{verbatim} + --clean remove all but input file and die + --pdfsample create pdf file with sample images + --font=<font command> set default font for labels + --[no]box produce framed boxes + --version report version number and die + --help display help info and die + --[no]debug display debugging information + --log=<logfile> file for warning messages +\end{verbatim} + +commands: + +\begin{verbatim} + begin name xl yl xmin ymin xmax ymax xlabel ylabel + end + stop + <var>=<value> + # comment +\end{verbatim} +\begin{verbatim} + arccst xcenter ycenter xstart ystart theta + arcset xstart ystart xend yend theta + arccrtt xcenter ycenter radius theta1 theta2 + arc3 x1 y1 x2 y2 x3 y3 +\end{verbatim} +\begin{verbatim} + xmark [label1] x1 [label2] x2 ... + Xmark [label1] x1 [label2] x2 ... + ymark [label1] y1 [label2] y2 ... + Ymark [label1] y1 [label2] y2 ... +\end{verbatim} +\begin{verbatim} + xdrop x y + ydrop x y + xydrop x y +\end{verbatim} +\begin{verbatim} + arrow x1 y1 x2 y2 label + label YX x y label + xlabels YX x y dx label ... + ylabels YX x y dy label ... +\end{verbatim} +\begin{verbatim} + point x1 y1 x2 y2 ... + dpoint x1 y1 dx1 dy1 ... + lines x1 y1 x2 y2 ... + dlines x1 y1 dx1 dy1 ... + curve x1 y1 x2 y2 ... + dcurve x1 y1 dx1 dy1 ... +\end{verbatim} +\begin{verbatim} + rect x1 y1 x2 y2 + drect x y dx dy + dcrect x y dx dy + crect x1 y1 x2 y2 + arect xc yc width height theta + bar x xdev height +\end{verbatim} +\begin{verbatim} + func xmin xmax step expression-in-x +\end{verbatim} +\begin{verbatim} + grid dx dy xgap ygap + hatch + bhat + ehat +\end{verbatim} +\subsection{Description\label{DESCRIPTION}\index{DESCRIPTION}} + +\textbf{mkpic} provides an easy interface for making small pictures with +mfpic. To this end you create an input file has to be created consisting +of commands, one per line, with space separated parameters (or you modify the +\texttt{\_\_DATA\_\_} section of the \textbf{mkpic} script, which is used if you run it +without an input file). \textbf{mkpic} produces two files. Assuming an input +file named \emph{picfile} defaulting to \emph{mkpic} these are: + +\begin{description} + +\item[{\emph{picfile.mac}}] + +a macro file which will contain \textbf{TeX} commands for every picture + +\item[{\emph{picfile.sty}}] + +a style file for latex, defining the same \textbf{TeX} commands for every picture. + +\end{description} + +With the \textbf{--pdfsample} option, two other files are produced: + +\begin{description} + +\item[{\emph{picfile.pdf}}] + +a PDF file containing all pictures. +This lets you easily check the results of your designs. + +\item[{\emph{picfile.tex}}] + +the \textbf{TeX} source used for creating this PDF file. + +\end{description} + +In \textbf{LaTeX}, you have to include \texttt{$\backslash$usepackage\{picfile\}} and to include +commands like \texttt{$\backslash$Fig$<$name$>$} in your source, where \texttt{name} is the +name you gave one of your pictures in an \textbf{mkpic} \texttt{begin} command. + +In \textbf{TeX} and \textbf{ConTeXt}, you have to \texttt{$\backslash$input} \emph{picfile.mac} and to +include commands like \texttt{$\backslash$Fig$<$name$>$} in your source, where \texttt{name} is +the name you gave one of your pictures in an \textbf{mkpic} \texttt{begin} command. + +In \textbf{TeX}, you must use the \texttt{$\backslash$bye} command (\textbf{not} \texttt{$\backslash$end} to finish your \textbf{TeX} source + +See the RUNNING section for how to run \textbf{mkpic} and \textbf{TeX}/\textbf{LaTeX}/\textbf{ConTeXt}. + +\subsection{COMMANDS\label{COMMANDS}\index{COMMANDS}} + +The source is set up so that it is easy to add your own commands, + +Currently the following commands have been implemented: + +\begin{description} + +\item[{\textbf{begin end}}] + +Every picture begins with the \textbf{begin} command and ends with the \textbf{end} +command. The \textbf{begin} command defines a name for the picture and +defines a tex command with that name, prefixed with 'Fig'. The +resulting command is written to a \emph{.mac} file. Thus the command + +\begin{verbatim} + begin aa ... +\end{verbatim} + +starts writing \texttt{$\backslash$def$\backslash$Figaa\{...} to the \emph{.mac} file, and the +picture can be reproduced in a \textbf{TeX} document by importing the \emph{.mac} file +and using the \texttt{$\backslash$Figaa} command. + +xl and yl are the lengths of the x- and y-axes. xlabel and ylabel are +the label that are placed at the ends of those axes. Use a space to +suppress labeling, or "-" to suppress drawing the axes at all. + +\item[{\textbf{stop}}] + +stops further reading of the input. Useful if you have many pictures, +but want to see only the first few for testing purposes. + +\item[{\textbf{var=value}}] + +sets the variable var to value. This variable, or an expression containing it, +can be used instead of any numerical parameter. Variable names may contain +lower and uppercase letters, digits or underscores, with the restriction that +they must start with a letter and may not end in an underscore. + +\item[{\#}] + +denotes a comment + +\item[{\textbf{xmark ymark Xmark Ymark}}] + +These commands place one or more labels along the x- or y-axes, either +below (\textbf{xmark} and \textbf{ymark}) of above (\textbf{Xmark} and \textbf{Ymark}) the axis. + +For the \textbf{[xXyY]mark} commands a parameter containing any character +other than [-.0-9] is interpreted as the label (this implies that you +cannot use expressions here!) to be placed and its position is expected +in the next parameter. If a parameter is just a number, it is placed at +that x-position. If you want a number to be interpreted as a label, put +it in braces: \textit{\{1950\}}. + +\item[{\textbf{arccst}}] + +(Mnemonic: \textbf{c}enter \textbf{s}tart \textbf{t}heta.) +Draws an arc with its center in \textit{xcenter,ycenter}, starting in \textit{xstart,ystart} +and with an arc length of \textit{theta} degrees. + +\item[{\textbf{arcset}}] + +(Mnemonic: \textbf{s}tart \textbf{e}nd \textbf{t}heta.) +Draws an arc starting in \textit{xstart,ystart}end ending in \textit{xend,yend} +and with an arc length of \textit{theta} degrees. + +\item[{\textbf{arccrtt}}] + +(Mnemonic: \textbf{c}enter \textbf{r}adius \textbf{t}heta1 \textbf{t}heta2.) +Draws an arc with its center in \textit{xcenter,ycenter}, a radius \textit{radius} +starting at \textit{theta1} degrees ænd ending at \textit{theta2} degrees. + +\item[{\textbf{arc3}}] + +(Mnemonic: \textbf{3} points.) +Draws an arc starting at \textit{(x1,y1), through (x2,y2) and ending in (x3,y3)}. + +\item[{\textbf{xdrop ydrop xydrop}}] + +These commands draw dotted arrows perpendicularly to the x-axis, the +y-axis and both axes, respectively, ending on the axes with the +arrow head. + +\item[{\textbf{arrow}}] + +draws an arrow from \textit{(x1,y1)} to \textit{(x2,y2)} labeled on its tail with +\textit{label} + +\item[{\textbf{label}}] + +draws a label at \textit{(x,y)}. \textit{YX} tells how it will be adjusted: for +Y=t,b,c \textit{(x,y)} will be, in the y-direction, on top, bottom or center +of the label respectively, for X=l,r,c it will be, in the x-direction, +left, right or center adjusted on \textit{(x,y)}.
