### Initialize
```julia
using Plots
qwt()
```
### Lines
A simple line plot of the 3 columns.
```julia
plot(rand(50,5),w=3)
```

### Functions
Plot multiple functions. You can also put the function first.
```julia
plot(0:0.01:4π,[sin,cos])
```
![](../img/qwt/qwt_example_2.png)
###
You can also call it with plot(f, xmin, xmax).
```julia
plot([sin,cos],0,4π)
```
![](../img/qwt/qwt_example_3.png)
###
Or make a parametric plot (i.e. plot: (fx(u), fy(u))) with plot(fx, fy, umin, umax).
```julia
plot(sin,(x->begin # /home/tom/.julia/v0.4/Plots/docs/example_generation.jl, line 33:
sin(2x)
end),0,2π,legend=false,fillto=0)
```
![](../img/qwt/qwt_example_4.png)
### Global
Change the guides/background without a separate call.
```julia
plot(rand(10); title="TITLE",xlabel="XLABEL",ylabel="YLABEL",background_color=RGB(0.2,0.2,0.2))
```
![](../img/qwt/qwt_example_5.png)
### Two-axis
Use the `axis` or `axiss` arguments.
Note: Currently only supported with Qwt and PyPlot
```julia
plot(Vector[randn(100),randn(100) * 100]; axis=[:l,:r],ylabel="LEFT",yrightlabel="RIGHT")
```
![](../img/qwt/qwt_example_6.png)
### Vectors w/ pluralized args
Plot multiple series with different numbers of points. Mix arguments that apply to all series (singular... see `marker`) with arguments unique to each series (pluralized... see `colors`).
```julia
plot(Vector[rand(10),rand(20)]; marker=:ellipse,markersize=8,colors=[:red,:blue])
```
![](../img/qwt/qwt_example_7.png)
### Build plot in pieces
Start with a base plot...
```julia
plot(rand(100) / 3; reg=true,fillto=0)
```
![](../img/qwt/qwt_example_8.png)
###
and add to it later.
```julia
scatter!(rand(100); markersize=6,c=:blue)
```
![](../img/qwt/qwt_example_9.png)
### Heatmaps
```julia
heatmap(randn(10000),randn(10000); nbins=100)
```
![](../img/qwt/qwt_example_10.png)
### Line types
```julia
types = intersect(supportedTypes(),[:line,:path,:steppre,:steppost,:sticks,:scatter])
n = length(types)
x = Vector[sort(rand(20)) for i = 1:n]
y = rand(20,n)
plot(x,y; t=types,lab=map(string,types))
```
![](../img/qwt/qwt_example_11.png)
### Line styles
```julia
styles = setdiff(supportedStyles(),[:auto])
plot(cumsum(randn(20,length(styles)),1); style=:auto,label=map(string,styles),w=5)
```
![](../img/qwt/qwt_example_12.png)
### Marker types
```julia
markers = setdiff(supportedMarkers(),[:none,:auto])
scatter(0.5:9.5,[fill(i - 0.5,10) for i = length(markers):-1:1]; marker=:auto,label=map(string,markers),markersize=10)
```
![](../img/qwt/qwt_example_13.png)
### Bar
x is the midpoint of the bar. (todo: allow passing of edges instead of midpoints)
```julia
bar(randn(1000))
```
![](../img/qwt/qwt_example_14.png)
### Histogram
```julia
histogram(randn(1000); nbins=50)
```
![](../img/qwt/qwt_example_15.png)
### Subplots
subplot and subplot! are distinct commands which create many plots and add series to them in a circular fashion.
You can define the layout with keyword params... either set the number of plots `n` (and optionally number of rows `nr` or
number of columns `nc`), or you can set the layout directly with `layout`.
Note: Gadfly is not very friendly here, and although you can create a plot and save a PNG, I haven't been able to actually display it.
```julia
subplot(randn(100,5); layout=[1,1,3],linetypes=[:line,:hist,:scatter,:step,:bar],nbins=10,legend=false)
```
![](../img/qwt/qwt_example_16.png)
### Adding to subplots
Note here the automatic grid layout, as well as the order in which new series are added to the plots.
```julia
subplot(randn(100,5); n=4)
```
![](../img/qwt/qwt_example_17.png)
###
```julia
subplot!(randn(100,3))
```
![](../img/qwt/qwt_example_18.png)
