[Maxima-discuss] plot2d point types with [points,nr,nc,nt] use

[Edwin W. <woo...@ch...>]

One of the reasons I like to use plot2d for quick plots is the ability
to use the [points,nsize,ncolor,ntype] syntax. In ver. 5.31 there were
13 points types available using this syntax.

Using windows 7 , both ver. 5.40.0 and 5.41.0 only return 6 point types
using both xmaxima and wxmaxima

you can either use

plot2d([ [discrete,[[0,.5]]],[discrete,[[0.1,.5]]],[discrete,[[0.2,.5]]],[discrete,[[0.3,.5]]], 
             [discrete,[[0.4,.5]]],[discrete,[[0.5,.5]]], [discrete,[[0.6,.5]]],[discrete,[[0.7,.5]]],
             [discrete,[[0,0]]],[discrete,[[0.1,0]]], [discrete,[[0.2,0]]],[discrete,[[0.3,0]]],
             [discrete,[[0.4,0]]],[discrete,[[0.5,0]]],  [discrete,[[0.6,0]]],[discrete,[[0.7,0]]]   ],
                [style,  [points,5,1,1], [points,5,1,2], [points,5,1,3], [points,5,1,4],
                           [points,5,1,5], [points,5,1,6], [points,5,1,7], [points,5,1,8],
                           [points,5,1,9], [points,5,1,10], [points,5,1,11], [points,5,1,12],
                           [points,5,1,13], [points,5,1,14], [points,5,1,15], [points,5,1,16] ],                
                [xlabel,""],[ylabel,""],
                ['x,-0.2,1],['y,-0.2,0.7],
                [box,false],[axes,false],
                [legend,"1 ","2 ","3 ","4 ","5 ","6 ","7 ","8 ","9 ","10 ","11 ","12 ","13 ","14 ","15 ","16 "])$


or

plot2d([ [discrete,[[0,.5]]],[discrete,[[0.1,.5]]],[discrete,[[0.2,.5]]],[discrete,[[0.3,.5]]],
                 [discrete,[[0.4,.5]]],[discrete,[[0.5,.5]]], [discrete,[[0.6,.5]]],[discrete,[[0.7,.5]]],
                  [discrete,[[0,0]]],[discrete,[[0.1,0]]], [discrete,[[0.2,0]]],[discrete,[[0.3,0]]],
                  [discrete,[[0.4,0]]],[discrete,[[0.5,0]]],[discrete,[[0.6,0]]],[discrete,[[0.7,0]]]   ],
                [style,[points,5,1]],[xlabel,""],[ylabel,""],
                ['x,-0.2,1],['y,-0.2,0.7],
                [box,false],[axes,false],
                [legend,"1 ","2 ","3 ","4 ","5 ","6 ","7 ","8 ","9 ","10 ","11 ","12 ","13 ","14 ","15 ","16 "])$

to check this. using numbers is much faster than typing names in the alternate system.
