Plotting in Julia: Reese Pathak Stephen Boyd EE103 Stanford University

This document provides an overview of plotting options in Julia and demonstrates how to create plots using PyPlot in JuliaBox. It recommends PyPlot as the plotting option supported by JuliaBox. It includes code examples to plot simple functions like y=x^2 and more complex plots with multiple lines and labels. The examples show how to generate basic and advanced labeled plots within the JuliaBox notebook interface using PyPlot.

Plotting options in Julia

I PyPlot (our recommendation)


– JuliaBox supports PyPlot
– PyPlot can be made to run locally (but it’s not straightforward)
I other options (not recommended): Plots, Gadfly

2
Fire up JuliaBox

I head to https://juliabox.com and login


I once you login, you will see a page that looks (somewhat) like

I select Julia 0.6.0, and enter the new notebook you’ve created

3
PyPlot in JuliaBox

I in the top cell of the notebook, run using PyPlot

I you should see no output from this line


I you’ve now successfully imported PyPlot

4
Plotting y = x2 for 0 ≤ x ≤ 10

# define range of x values


x = 0:0.1:10 # 0 to 10, step size 0.1
# define y
y = x.^2
# create a plot
plot(x,y)
# save image
savefig("ImageNameHere.png")

5
The result

6
Additional features in PyPlot

I figure legend, axis labels, title


– a label in the plot: plot(x, y, label="Label Goes Here")
– show labels: legend() (after plotting your lines)
– axis labels: xlabel("Label here"); ylabel("label")
– title: title("Title Goes Here")
I multiple lines: call plot(...) multiple times

7
A more detailed plot of y = x2

here’s a more detailed version of y = x2 from earlier (with code)

# collect plotting data


x = 1:0.1:10; y = x.^2
# plot line
plot(x,y, label=''y=x^2'')
# set x and y axis labels
xlabel(''x''); ylabel(''y'')
legend() # turn on legend
# add a title
title(''Plot of y = x^2'')
# save figure
savefig(''second_pyplot'')

8
A more complicated plot (1)

here’s a more complicated PyPlot example


# collect plotting data
x = 1:0.1:10
y1 = sqrt(x) + sin(log(x))
y2 = cos(x)
# plot line 1
plot(x,y1, label=''y=sqrt(x) + sin(log(x))'')
# plot line 2
plot(x,y2, label=''y=cos(x)'')
# set x and y axis labels
xlabel(''x''); ylabel(''y'')
legend() # turn on legend
# add a title
title(''Two plot figure'')
# save figure
savefig(''third_pyplot'')
