3.1 2D Renderer Function Arguments
Functions that return 2D renderers always have these kinds of arguments:
Required (and possibly optional) arguments representing the graph to plot.
Optional keyword arguments for overriding calculated bounds, with the default value #f.
Optional keyword arguments that determine the appearance of the plot.
The optional keyword argument #:label, which specifies the name of the renderer in the legend.
We will take function, perhaps the most commonly used renderer-producing function, as an example.
Graph arguments. The first argument to function is the required f, the function to plot. It is followed by two optional arguments x-min and x-max, which specify the renderer’s x bounds. (If not given, the x bounds will be the plot area x bounds, as requested by another renderer or specified to plot using #:x-min and #:x-max.)
These three arguments define the graph of the function f, a possibly infinite set of pairs of points x,(f x). An infinite graph cannot be plotted directly, so the renderer must approximately plot the points in it. The renderer returned by function does this by drawing lines connected end-to-end.
Overriding bounds arguments. Next in function’s argument list are the keyword arguments #:y-min and #:y-max, which override the renderer’s calculated y bounds if given.
Appearance arguments. The next keyword argument is #:samples, which determines the quality of the renderer’s approximate plot (higher is better). Following #:samples are #:color, #:width, #:style and #:alpha, which determine the color, width, style and opacity of the lines comprising the plot.
In general, the keyword arguments that determine the appearance of plots follow consistent naming conventions. The most common keywords are #:color (for fill and line colors), #:width (for line widths), #:style (for fill and line styles) and #:alpha. When a function needs both a fill color and a line color, the fill color is given using #:color, and the line color is given using #:line-color (or some variation, such as #:line1-color). Styles follow the same rule.
Every appearance keyword argument defaults to the value of a parameter. This allows whole families of plots to be altered with little work. For example, setting (line-color 3) causes every subsequent renderer that draws connected lines to draw its lines in blue.
Label argument. Lastly, there is #:label. If given, the function renderer will generate a label entry that plot puts in the legend.
Not every renderer-producing function has a #:label argument; for example, error-bars.
3.2 2D Point Renderers
procedure
(points vs [ #:x-min x-min #:x-max x-max #:y-min y-min #:y-max y-max #:sym sym #:color color #:fill-color fill-color #:x-jitter x-jitter #:y-jitter y-jitter #:size size #:line-width line-width #:alpha alpha #:label label]) → renderer2d? vs : (sequence/c (sequence/c #:min-count 2 real?)) x-min : (or/c rational? #f) = #f x-max : (or/c rational? #f) = #f y-min : (or/c rational? #f) = #f y-max : (or/c rational? #f) = #f sym : point-sym/c = (point-sym) color : plot-color/c = (point-color) fill-color : (or/c plot-color/c 'auto) = 'auto x-jitter : (>=/c 0) = (point-x-jitter) y-jitter : (>=/c 0) = (point-y-jitter) size : (>=/c 0) = (point-size) line-width : (>=/c 0) = (point-line-width) alpha : (real-in 0 1) = (point-alpha) label : (or/c string? #f) = #f
Returns a renderer that draws points. Use it, for example, to draw 2D scatter plots.
The renderer sets its bounds to the smallest rectangle that contains the points.
Still, it is often necessary to override these bounds, especially with randomized data. For example,
> (parameterize ([plot-width 150] [plot-height 150] [plot-x-label #f] [plot-y-label #f]) (define xs (build-list 20 (λ _ (random)))) (define ys (build-list 20 (λ _ (random)))) (list (plot (points (map vector xs ys))) (plot (points (map vector xs ys) #:x-min 0 #:x-max 1 #:y-min 0 #:y-max 1)))) '(
)
Readers of the first plot could only guess that the random points were generated in [0,1] × [0,1].
The #:sym argument may be any integer, a Unicode character or string, or a symbol in known-point-symbols. Use an integer when you need different points but don’t care exactly what they are.
When x-jitter is non-zero, all points are translated by a random amount at most x-jitter from their original position along the x-axis. A non-zero y-jitter similarly translates points along the y-axis. Jitter is added in both directions so total spread is twice the value given. To be precise, each point p is moved to a random location inside a rectangle centered at p with width at most twice x-jitter and height at most twice y-jitter subject to the constraint that new points lie within [x-min, x-max] and [y-min, y-max] if these bounds are non-#f.
> (plot (points (for/list ([i (in-range 1000)]) (list 0 0)) #:alpha 0.4 #:x-jitter 1 #:y-jitter 1 #:sym 'fullcircle1 #:color "blue") #:x-min -2 #:x-max 2 #:y-min -2 #:y-max 2)
Randomly moving data points is almost always a bad idea, but jittering in a controlled manner can
sometimes be useful.
For example:
More examples of jittering: Another Look at the California Vaccination Data and Typing with Pleasure
To highlight the size of a dense (or overplotted) sample.
To see the distribution of 1-dimensional data; as a substitute for box or violin plots.
To anonymize spatial data, showing i.e. an office’s neighborhood but hiding its address.
procedure
(vector-field f [ x-min x-max y-min y-max #:samples samples #:scale scale #:color color #:line-width line-width #:line-style line-style #:alpha alpha #:label label]) → renderer2d?
f :
(or/c (-> real? real? (sequence/c real?)) (-> (vector/c real? real?) (sequence/c real?))) x-min : (or/c rational? #f) = #f x-max : (or/c rational? #f) = #f y-min : (or/c rational? #f) = #f y-max : (or/c rational? #f) = #f samples : exact-positive-integer? = (vector-field-samples)
scale : (or/c real? (one-of/c 'auto 'normalized)) = (vector-field-scale) color : plot-color/c = (vector-field-color) line-width : (>=/c 0) = (vector-field-line-width) line-style : plot-pen-style/c = (vector-field-line-style) alpha : (real-in 0 1) = (vector-field-alpha) label : (or/c string? #f) = #f
Returns a renderer that draws a vector field.
If scale is a real number, arrow lengths are multiplied by scale. If 'auto, the scale is calculated in a way that keeps arrows from overlapping. If 'normalized, each arrow is made the same length: the maximum length that would have been allowed by 'auto.
An example of automatic scaling:
procedure
(error-bars bars [ #:x-min x-min #:x-max x-max #:y-min y-min #:y-max y-max #:color color #:line-width line-width #:line-style line-style #:width width #:alpha alpha]) → renderer2d? bars : (sequence/c (sequence/c #:min-count 3 real?)) x-min : (or/c rational? #f) = #f x-max : (or/c rational? #f) = #f y-min : (or/c rational? #f) = #f y-max : (or/c rational? #f) = #f color : plot-color/c = (error-bar-color) line-width : (>=/c 0) = (error-bar-line-width) line-style : plot-pen-style/c = (error-bar-line-style) width : (>=/c 0) = (error-bar-width) alpha : (real-in 0 1) = (error-bar-alpha)
Returns a renderer that draws error bars.
The first and second element in each vector in bars comprise the coordinate; the third is the height.
> (plot (list (function sqr 1 7) (error-bars (list (vector 2 4 12) (vector 4 16 20) (vector 6 36 10)))))
3.3 2D Line Renderers
procedure
(function f [ x-min x-max #:y-min y-min #:y-max y-max #:samples samples #:color color #:width width #:style style #:alpha alpha #:label label]) → renderer2d? f : (real? . -> . real?) x-min : (or/c rational? #f) = #f x-max : (or/c rational? #f) = #f y-min : (or/c rational? #f) = #f y-max : (or/c rational? #f) = #f samples : (and/c exact-integer? (>=/c 2)) = (line-samples) color : plot-color/c = (line-color) width : (>=/c 0) = (line-width) style : plot-pen-style/c = (line-style) alpha : (real-in 0 1) = (line-alpha) label : (or/c string? #f) = #f
Returns a renderer that plots a function of x. For example, a parabola:
procedure
(inverse f [ y-min y-max #:x-min x-min #:x-max x-max #:samples samples #:color color #:width width #:style style #:alpha alpha #:label label]) → renderer2d? f : (real? . -> . real?) y-min : (or/c rational? #f) = #f y-max : (or/c rational? #f) = #f x-min : (or/c rational? #f) = #f x-max : (or/c rational? #f) = #f samples : (and/c exact-integer? (>=/c 2)) = (line-samples) color : plot-color/c = (line-color) width : (>=/c 0) = (line-width) style : plot-pen-style/c = (line-style) alpha : (real-in 0 1) = (line-alpha) label : (or/c string? #f) = #f
Like function, but regards f as a function of y.
For example, a parabola, an inverse parabola, and the reflection line:
> (plot (list (axes) (function sqr -2 2 #:label "y = x^2") (function (λ (x) x) #:color 0 #:style 'dot #:label "y = x") (inverse sqr -2 2 #:color 3 #:label "x = y^2")))
procedure
(lines vs [ #:x-min x-min #:x-max x-max #:y-min y-min #:y-max y-max #:color color #:width width #:style style #:alpha alpha #:label label]) → renderer2d? vs : (sequence/c (sequence/c #:min-count 2 real?)) x-min : (or/c rational? #f) = #f x-max : (or/c rational? #f) = #f y-min : (or/c rational? #f) = #f y-max : (or/c rational? #f) = #f color : plot-color/c = (line-color) width : (>=/c 0) = (line-width) style : plot-pen-style/c = (line-style) alpha : (real-in 0 1) = (line-alpha) label : (or/c string? #f) = #f
Returns a renderer that draws lines.
This is directly useful for plotting a time series, such as a random walk:
> (plot (lines (reverse (for/fold ([lst (list (vector 0 0))]) ([i (in-range 1 200)]) (match-define (vector x y) (first lst)) (cons (vector i (+ y (* 1/100 (- (random) 1/2)))) lst))) #:color 6 #:label "Random walk"))
The parametric and polar functions are defined using lines.
procedure
(parametric f t-min t-max [ #:x-min x-min #:x-max x-max #:y-min y-min #:y-max y-max #:samples samples #:color color #:width width #:style style #:alpha alpha #:label label]) → renderer2d? f : (real? . -> . (sequence/c real?)) t-min : rational? t-max : rational? x-min : (or/c rational? #f) = #f x-max : (or/c rational? #f) = #f y-min : (or/c rational? #f) = #f y-max : (or/c rational? #f) = #f samples : (and/c exact-integer? (>=/c 2)) = (line-samples) color : plot-color/c = (line-color) width : (>=/c 0) = (line-width) style : plot-pen-style/c = (line-style) alpha : (real-in 0 1) = (line-alpha) label : (or/c string? #f) = #f
Returns a renderer that plots vector-valued functions of time.
For example, the circle as a function of time can be plotted using
procedure
(polar f [ θ-min θ-max #:x-min x-min #:x-max x-max #:y-min y-min #:y-max y-max #:samples samples #:color color #:width width #:style style #:alpha alpha #:label label]) → renderer2d? f : (real? . -> . real?) θ-min : real? = 0 θ-max : real? = (* 2 pi) x-min : (or/c rational? #f) = #f x-max : (or/c rational? #f) = #f y-min : (or/c rational? #f) = #f y-max : (or/c rational? #f) = #f samples : (and/c exact-integer? (>=/c 2)) = (line-samples) color : plot-color/c = (line-color) width : (>=/c 0) = (line-width) style : plot-pen-style/c = (line-style) alpha : (real-in 0 1) = (line-alpha) label : (or/c string? #f) = #f
Returns a renderer that plots functions from angle to radius.
Note that the angle parameters θ-min and θ-max default to 0 and (* 2 pi).
For example, drawing a full circle:
procedure
(density xs [ bw-adjust ws #:x-min x-min #:x-max x-max #:y-min y-min #:y-max y-max #:samples samples #:color color #:width width #:style style #:alpha alpha #:label label]) → renderer2d? xs : (sequence/c real?) bw-adjust : (>/c 0) = 1 ws : (or/c (sequence/c (>=/c 0)) #f) = #f x-min : (or/c rational? #f) = #f x-max : (or/c rational? #f) = #f y-min : (or/c rational? #f) = #f y-max : (or/c rational? #f) = #f samples : (and/c exact-integer? (>=/c 2)) = (line-samples) color : plot-color/c = (line-color) width : (>=/c 0) = (line-width) style : plot-pen-style/c = (line-style) alpha : (real-in 0 1) = (line-alpha) label : (or/c string? #f) = #f
Returns a renderer that plots an estimated density for the given points, which are optionally weighted by ws.
The bandwidth for the kernel is calculated as (* bw-adjust 1.06 sd (expt n -0.2)), where sd is the standard deviation of the data and n is the number of points.
Currently, the only supported kernel is the Gaussian.
For example, to plot an estimated density of the triangle distribution:
> (plot (list (function (λ (x) (cond [(or (x . < . -1) (x . > . 1)) 0] [(x . < . 0) (+ 1 x)] [(x . >= . 0) (- 1 x)])) -1.5 1.5 #:label "Density") (density (build-list 2000 (λ (n) (- (+ (random) (random)) 1))) #:color 0 #:width 2 #:style 'dot #:label "Est. density")))
procedure
(hrule y [ x-min x-max #:color color #:width width #:style style #:alpha alpha #:label label]) → renderer2d? y : real? x-min : (or/c rational? #f) = #f x-max : (or/c rational? #f) = #f color : plot-color/c = (line-color) width : (>=/c 0) = (line-width) style : plot-pen-style/c = (line-style) alpha : (real-in 0 1) = (line-alpha) label : (or/c string? #f) = #f
Draws a horizontal line at y.
By default, the line spans the entire plot area width.
procedure
(vrule x [ y-min y-max #:color color #:width width #:style style #:alpha alpha #:label label]) → renderer2d? x : real? y-min : (or/c rational? #f) = #f y-max : (or/c rational? #f) = #f color : plot-color/c = (line-color) width : (>=/c 0) = (line-width) style : plot-pen-style/c = (line-style) alpha : (real-in 0 1) = (line-alpha) label : (or/c string? #f) = #f
Draws a vertical line at x.
By default, the line spans the entire plot area height.

3.5 2D Contour (Isoline) Renderers
procedure
(isoline f z [ x-min x-max y-min y-max #:samples samples #:color color #:width width #:style style #:alpha alpha #:label label]) → renderer2d? f : (real? real? . -> . real?) z : real? x-min : (or/c rational? #f) = #f x-max : (or/c rational? #f) = #f y-min : (or/c rational? #f) = #f y-max : (or/c rational? #f) = #f samples : (and/c exact-integer?

Returns a renderer that plots a contour line, or a line of constant value (height).
A circle of radius r, for example, is the line of constant value r for the distance function:
In this case, r = 1.5.
This function would have been named contour, except the name was already used by a deprecated function. It may be renamed in the future, with isoline as an alias.
procedure
(contours f [ x-min x-max y-min y-max #:samples samples #:levels levels #:colors colors #:widths widths #:styles styles #:alphas alphas #:label label]) → renderer2d? f : (real? real? . -> . real?) x-min : (or/c rational? #f) = #f x-max : (or/c rational? #f) = #f y-min : (or/c rational? #f) = #f y-max : (or/c rational? #f) = #f samples : (and/c exact-integer? (>=/c 2)) = (contour-samples)
levels : (or/c 'auto exact-positive-integer? (listof real?)) = (contour-levels) colors : (plot-colors/c (listof real?)) = (contour-colors) widths : (pen-widths/c (listof real?)) = (contour-widths) styles : (plot-pen-styles/c (listof real?)) = (contour-styles) alphas : (alphas/c (listof real?)) = (contour-alphas) label : (or/c string? #f) = #f
Returns a renderer that plots contour lines, or lines of constant value (height).
When levels is 'auto, the number of contour lines and their values are chosen the same way as axis tick positions; i.e. they are chosen to be simple. When levels is a number, contours chooses that number of values, evenly spaced, within the output range of f. When levels is a list, contours plots contours at the values in levels.
For example, a saddle:
The appearance keyword arguments assign a color, width, style and opacity to each contour line. Each can be given as a list or as a function from a list of output values of f to a list of appearance values. In both cases, when there are more contour lines than list elements, the colors, widths, styles and alphas in the list repeat.
For example,

Returns a renderer that draws a discrete histogram.
Example:
> (plot (discrete-histogram (list #(A 1) #(B 2) #(B 3) (vector 'C (ivl 0.5 1.5)))))
Use #:invert? #t to draw horizontal bars. See stacked-histogram for an example.
Each bar takes up exactly one plot unit, and is drawn with (* 1/2 gap) empty space on each side. Bar number i is drawn at (+ x-min (* i skip)). Thus, the first bar (i = 0) is drawn in the interval between x-min (default 0) and (+ x-min 1).
To plot two histograms side-by-side, pass the appropriate x-min value to the second renderer. For example,
> (plot (list (discrete-histogram (list #(a 1) #(b 2) #(c 3) #(d 2) #(e 4) #(f 2.5) #(g 1)) #:label "Numbers per letter") (discrete-histogram (list #(1 1) #(4 2) #(3 1.5)) #:x-min 8 #:label "Numbers per number" #:color 2 #:line-color 2)))
Here, the first histogram has 7 bars, so the second is drawn starting at x-min = 8.
To interleave histograms, such as when plotting benchmark results, use a skip value larger than or equal to the number of histograms, and give each histogram a different x-min.
For example,
> (plot (list (discrete-histogram '(#(Eggs 1.5) #(Bacon 2.5) #(Pancakes 3.5)) #:skip 2.5 #:x-min 0 #:label "AMD") (discrete-histogram '(#(Eggs 1.4) #(Bacon 2.3) #(Pancakes 3.1)) #:skip 2.5 #:x-min 1 #:label "Intel" #:color 2 #:line-color 2)) #:x-label "Breakfast Food" #:y-label "Cooking Time (minutes)" #:title "Cooking Times For Breakfast Food, Per Processor")
When interleaving many histograms, consider setting the discrete-histogram-skip parameter to change skip’s default value.
