This is a line plot showing the graph of sin(x) and cos(x). This uses quite a few of the PHPlot style control functions to tune the appearance of the plot.
Example 5.2. Line Plot: Functions
<?php # PHPlot Example: Line graph, 2 lines require_once 'phplot.php'; # Generate data for: # Y1 = sin(x) # Y2 = cos(x) $end = M_PI * 2.0; $delta = $end / 20.0; $data = array(); for ($x = 0; $x <= $end; $x += $delta) $data[] = array('', $x, sin($x), cos($x)); $plot = new PHPlot(800, 600); $plot->SetImageBorderType('plain'); $plot->SetPlotType('lines'); $plot->SetDataType('data-data'); $plot->SetDataValues($data); # Main plot title: $plot->SetTitle('Line Plot, Sin and Cos'); # Make a legend for the 2 functions: $plot->SetLegend(array('sin(t)', 'cos(t)')); # Select a plot area and force ticks to nice values: $plot->SetPlotAreaWorld(0, -1, 6.8, 1); # Even though the data labels are empty, with numeric formatting they # will be output as zeros unless we turn them off: $plot->SetXDataLabelPos('none'); $plot->SetXTickIncrement(M_PI / 8.0); $plot->SetXLabelType('data'); $plot->SetPrecisionX(3); $plot->SetYTickIncrement(0.2); $plot->SetYLabelType('data'); $plot->SetPrecisionY(1); # Draw both grids: $plot->SetDrawXGrid(True); $plot->SetDrawYGrid(True); $plot->DrawGraph();
