Each figure should be in two versions, PDF and PNG. The PDF version will be used in the PDF version of the manual, and the PNG version will be used in the HTML version. CREATING FIGURES FOR THE MAXIMA MANUAL -------------------------------------- If the figures are the result of a plot2d or plot3d command, the two versions needed can be created adding the options pdf_file and png_file to the plotting command. For example, the two commands needed to produce the figure "plotting6", shown in the file plotting6.mac, are the following: plot2d(sin(x), [x, -%pi, %pi], [pdf_file, "./plotting6.pdf"]); plot2d(sin(x), [x, -%pi, %pi], [png_file, "./plotting6.png"]); The two files "plotting6.pdf" and "plotting6.png" can then be created by runnig Maxima in batch mode: maxima -b plotting6.mac ADDING FIGURES TO THE MANUAL ---------------------------- Once the files "plotting6.pdf" and "plotting6.png" have been created in the doc/info/figures directory, they should be added in a section of the manual using the following syntax: @ifnotinfo @image{figures/plotting6,8cm} @end ifnotinfo Notice that no file-name extension or directory should be given. That way, "plotting6.png" will included in the HTML version of the manual and "plotting6.pdf" will be inserted with a width of 8 cm into the PDF version of the manual. ADDING THE FIGURE TO THE LIST OF FILES TO BE DISTRIBUTED -------------------------------------------------------- Every time you add a new figure, do not forget to modify the doc/info/Makefile.am file, adding the name of the two files (PDF and PNG) to the lists "figurefiles" and "pdffigures". In the example above, figures/plotting6.png should be added to figurefiles and figures/plotting6.pdf to pdffigures. # Added by Gunter Königsmann on 2015 MACROS THAT HELP CREATING FIGURE FILES IN THE NEEDED FORMATS ------------------------------------------------------------ ../docdraw.mac contains macros that create a figure in both formats needed for building the documentation: docdraw("test",gr2d(explicit(sin(x),x,1,10))); docdraw2d("test",explicit(sin(x),x,1,10)); docdraw3d("test",explicit(sin(x)*cos(y),x,1,10,y,1,10)); In order to ease the use of the figures found in the manual as a testbench for the plotting functions all new plot commands should be added to the .wxm files in the "tests" directory of the maxima source tree.
