Graphics[primitives,options]
represents a two-dimensional graphical image.
Details and OptionsUse lines, polygons, circles, etc. to build up a graphics image:
Use plot functions to automatically create Graphics from different types of data:
Scope (13) Primitives (4)Graphics primitives are drawn in the order in which they are given in Graphics:
Polygons can fold over themselves:
Vertices can be shared by using GraphicsComplex:
Inset an expression in a graphic:
Directives (5)Directives can specify color and opacity of faces:
Colors, thickness, and dashing directives affect lines, arrows, and edges:
Some primitives have special directives to specify various properties:
Directives can be applied to individual objects using Style:
Graphics directives remain in effect only until the end of the list that contains them:
Coordinates (4)Use an ordinary coordinate system:
Specify coordinates by fractions of the plot range:
Specify coordinates by fractions of the whole image:
Offset coordinates by printer's points:
Options (71) AlignmentPoint (1)Specify the coordinates within Inset to be aligned with the center of the enclosing graphic:
Axes (2)Draw the axis but not the axis:
AxesLabel (2)Specify a label for each axis:
AxesOrigin (2)Determine where the axes cross automatically:
Specify the axes' origin explicitly:
AxesStyle (1)Specify the overall axes style, including the ticks and the tick labels:
Specify the style of each axis:
Background (1) BaselinePosition (3)Align the center of a graphic with the baseline of the text:
Specify the baseline of a graphic as a fraction of the height by using Scaled:
Use the axis of a graphic as the baseline:
BaseStyle (2) ContentSelectable (3)Allow the individual graphics objects to be selectable by a single click:
No individual object is selectable; the whole graphic appears as one object:
The first click selects the whole graphic, and subsequent ones select individual objects:
Epilog (1)Draw a disk above the graphic, including the axes:
Frame (2)Draw a frame around the whole graphic:
Draw a frame on the left and the right edges:
FrameLabel (1)Specify frame labels for the bottom and the left edges:
FrameStyle (2)Specify the overall frame style:
Specify the style of each frame edge:
FrameTicks (2)Tick mark labels on the bottom and the left frame edges:
Frame ticks on the bottom and the right edges:
FrameTicksStyle (2)Specify frame tick and frame tick label style:
Specify frame tick style for each edge:
GridLines (3)Put grids across a 2D graphic:
Draw grid lines at specific positions:
Specify the style of each grid:
GridLinesStyle (1)Specify the overall grid style:
ImageMargins (3)Allow no margins outside of ImageSize:
Have 20-point margins on all sides:
Leave different margins on each side:
ImagePadding (4)Leave no padding outside of the plot range:
Leave enough padding for all objects and labels that are present:
Specify the same padding for all sides in printer's points:
Specify different padding on each side:
ImageSize (3)Use predefined symbolic sizes:
Use an explicit image width and height:
LabelStyle (1)Specify the overall style of all the label-like elements:
Method (4) "AxesInFront" (1)Force axes to be behind drawing primitives:
"FrameInFront" (1)By default, frames draw in front of graphics primitives:
Force the frame to draw behind graphics primitives:
"GridLinesInFront" (1)Force grid lines to be rendered in front of graphics primitives:
"TransparentPolygonMesh" (1)By default, polygon meshes double-paint their edges for efficiency reasons:
The behavior can be turned off using the "TransparentPolygonMesh" method option:
PlotLabel (2)Display a label on the top of the graphic in TraditionalForm:
Use Style and other typesetting functions to modify how the label appears:
PlotRange (3)Force clipping at the PlotRange:
PlotRange->s is equivalent to PlotRange->{{-s,s},{-s,s}}:
PlotRangeClipping (2)Allow graphics objects to spread beyond PlotRange:
Clip all graphics objects at PlotRange:
PlotRangePadding (3)Include coordinate unit of padding on all sides:
Include padding using Scaled coordinates:
Specify different padding on each side:
PlotRegion (3)The contents of a graphic use the whole region:
Limit the contents of the graphic to the middle half of the region in each direction:
ImagePadding can also be used to add padding around a graphic:
Prolog (1)Define a simple graphic to use as a background:
RotateLabel (2)Specify that vertical frame labels should be rotated:
Specify that vertical frame labels should not be rotated:
Ticks (3)Draw the axes but no tick marks:
Place tick marks automatically:
Draw tick marks at the specific positions:
TicksStyle (2)Specify the styles of the ticks and tick labels:
Specify the styles of and axis ticks separately:
Applications (1)Draw a complete graph with 9 vertices:
Properties & Relations (5) Neat Examples (2)Display an analog clock with current system time:
