Problem: I want to plot some data in Xmath, what options do I have? I have tried using the plot keyword but is there an easier way to setup a bode type plot? Is there a way to pick values of a graph?
Solution: Xmath offers several different plotting options. Many of them are based on the graph object (the result of the plot command). Below is a list of Xmath plot commands along with a short description of each one. Type help <command> in Xmath to get help on an individual command. For a general discussion on plotting in Xmath type 'help plotting' as well as see
Chapter 4: Graphics in the Xmath Users Guide.
