I was wondering if there was a more succinct way to express the following plot (I'm using the plain format):



input tikz
tikzpicture
draw[help lines, ystep=.5] (-.2,-10) grid (12.5,15);
draw[->] (0, -10) to (0, 15) node[above] $y$;

Here's a LaTeX version.



documentclass[tikz,border=3.14mm]standalone
usepackagetikz
begindocument
begintikzpicture
draw[help lines, ystep=.5] (-.2,-10) grid (12.5,15);
draw[->] (0, -10) to (0, 15) node[above] $y$;
draw[->] (0, 0) to (12.5, 0) node[right] $x$;
foreach X in 0,...,12
ifnumX>0
node at (X,-0.5) $X$;
fi
draw (X,-10+X) circle (2pt);
foreach Y in -20,-18,...,10
node at (-0.5,Y/2) $Y$;
endtikzpicture
enddocument


Amazingly the following does run through with pdftex

  • Thanks! I don't know why, but for some reason the foreach wasn't working for me earlier – that shortens the code nicely. I wonder if the new datavisualization command could somehow be used here.

  • @morbusg Yes, it could. The question is what you want to achieve. If you only want some axis, grid, and plot of that sort you may be better off with pgfplots. However, I have no experience with plain TeX.

  • Well the part inside begintikzpicture … endtikzpicture in your first code block uses only TikZ commands so it's not so surprising that it works with plain TeX too (because TikZ has been designed that way), though I guess it's amazing that TikZ has been implemented that way in the first place. :-) I expect most “LaTeX” answers using only TikZ commands can be quite easily converted to run with pdftex.

So after spending a night reading the manual while in a trial-error-loop, after many solemn utterances to invoke supernatural power to inflict harm or punishment on something, all of which now regretted, I finally – victoriously – formed the following:



documentclassarticle
usepackagetikz
usetikzlibrarydatavisualization, datavisualization.formats.functions
begindocument
begintikzpicture
datavisualization[
school book axes
, x axis=unit length=5mm
, y axis=
unit length=5mm
, ticks=step=2
, grid
, scaling = min at 0cm and max at 5cm

, visualize as line
]
data[format=function]
var x : interval [0:12];
func y = (value x - 10) * 2;
;
endtikzpicture
enddocument


Boom! Pow! Shazam! Holy function data format, Batman! This is pretty darn nice, it has to be said.



Only trouble I found, is that it does not work with the plain format, forcing the user to descend to a lower plane of enlightenment.

    • Thanks! I don't know why, but for some reason the foreach wasn't working for me earlier – that shortens the code nicely. I wonder if the new datavisualization command could somehow be used here.

    • @morbusg Yes, it could. The question is what you want to achieve. If you only want some axis, grid, and plot of that sort you may be better off with pgfplots. However, I have no experience with plain TeX.

    • Well the part inside begintikzpicture … endtikzpicture in your first code block uses only TikZ commands so it's not so surprising that it works with plain TeX too (because TikZ has been designed that way), though I guess it's amazing that TikZ has been implemented that way in the first place. :-) I expect most “LaTeX” answers using only TikZ commands can be quite easily converted to run with pdftex.

    • @ShreevatsaR Yes, that's all true, but the above is the second plain TeX document I ever compiled so for me it was a miracle that it immediately worked.

    So after spending a night reading the manual while in a trial-error-loop, after many solemn utterances to invoke supernatural power to inflict harm or punishment on something, all of which now regretted, I finally – victoriously – formed the following:



    documentclassarticle
    usepackagetikz
    usetikzlibrarydatavisualization, datavisualization.formats.functions
    begindocument
    begintikzpicture
    datavisualization[
    school book axes
    , x axis=unit length=5mm
    , y axis=
    unit length=5mm
    , ticks=step=2
    , grid
    , scaling = min at 0cm and max at 5cm

    , visualize as line
    ]
    data[format=function]
    var x : interval [0:12];
    func y = (value x - 10) * 2;
    ;
    endtikzpicture
    enddocument


    Boom! Pow! Shazam! Holy function data format, Batman! This is pretty darn nice, it has to be said.



    Only trouble I found, is that it does not work with the plain format, forcing the user to descend to a lower plane of enlightenment.
