"""PlotItems.py -- Objects that can be plotted by Gnuplot.

This module contains several types of PlotItems.  PlotItems can be
plotted by passing them to a Gnuplot.Gnuplot object.  You can derive
your own classes from the PlotItem hierarchy to customize their
behavior.

class PlotItem:
    """Plotitem represents an item that can be plotted by gnuplot.

    For the finest control over the output, you can create 'PlotItems'
    yourself with additional keyword options, or derive new classes
    from 'PlotItem'.

    The handling of options is complicated by the attempt to allow
    options and their setting mechanism to be inherited conveniently.
    Note first that there are some options that can only be set in the
    constructor then never modified, and others that can be set in the
    constructor and/or modified using the 'set_option()' member
    function.  The former are always processed within '__init__'.  The
    latter are always processed within 'set_option', which is called
    by the constructor.

    'set_option' is driven by a class-wide dictionary called
    '_option_list', which is a mapping '{ <option> : <setter> }' from
    option name to the function object used to set or change the
    option.  <setter> is a function object that takes two parameters:
    'self' (the 'PlotItem' instance) and the new value requested for
    the option.  If <setter> is 'None', then the option is not allowed
    to be changed after construction and an exception is raised.

    Any 'PlotItem' that needs to add options can add to this
    dictionary within its class definition.  Follow one of the
    examples in this file.  Alternatively it could override the
    'set_option' member function if it needs to do wilder things.

    Members:

      '_basecommand' -- a string holding the elementary argument that
          must be passed to gnuplot's `plot' command for this item;
          e.g., 'sin(x)' or '"filename.dat"'.

      '_options' -- a dictionary of (<option>,<string>) tuples
          corresponding to the plot options that have been set for
          this instance of the PlotItem.  <option> is the option as
          specified by the user; <string> is the string that needs to
          be set in the command line to set that option (or None if no
          string is needed).  Example::

              {'title' : ('Data', 'title "Data"'),
               'with' : ('linespoints', 'with linespoints')}

    """Return a _FileItem representing a function of two variables.

    'GridData' represents a function that has been tabulated on a
    rectangular grid.  The data are written to a file; no copy is kept
    in memory.

    Arguments:

        'data' -- the data to plot: a 2-d array with dimensions
            (numx,numy).

        'xvals' -- a 1-d array with dimension 'numx'

        'yvals' -- a 1-d array with dimension 'numy'

        'binary=<bool>' -- send data to gnuplot in binary format?

        'inline=<bool>' -- send data to gnuplot "inline"?

        'filename=<string>' -- save data to a permanent file.

    Note the unusual argument order!  The data are specified *before*
    the x and y values.  (This inconsistency was probably a mistake;
    after all, the default xvals and yvals are not very useful.)

    'data' must be a data array holding the values of a function
    f(x,y) tabulated on a grid of points, such that 'data[i,j] ==
    f(xvals[i], yvals[j])'.  If 'xvals' and/or 'yvals' are omitted,
    integers (starting with 0) are used for that coordinate.  The data
    are written to a temporary file; no copy of the data is kept in
    memory.

    If 'binary=0' then the data are written to a datafile as 'x y
    f(x,y)' triplets (y changes most rapidly) that can be used by
    gnuplot's 'splot' command.  Blank lines are included each time the
    value of x changes so that gnuplot knows to plot a surface through
    the data.

    If 'binary=1' then the data are written to a file in a binary
    format that 'splot' can understand.  Binary format is faster and
    usually saves disk space but is not human-readable.  If your
    version of gnuplot doesn't support binary format (it is a
    recently-added feature), this behavior can be disabled by setting
    the configuration variable
    'gp.GnuplotOpts.recognizes_binary_splot=0' in the appropriate
    gp*.py file.

    Thus if you have three arrays in the above format and a Gnuplot
    instance called g, you can plot your data by typing
    'g.splot(Gnuplot.GridData(data,xvals,yvals))'.
