lines 

lines(positions)
lines(x, y)
lines(x, y, z)

Creates a connected line plot for each element in (x, y, z) , (x, y) or positions .

NaN values are displayed as gaps in the line.

Attributes

Specific

  • cycle::Vector{Symbol} = [:color] sets which attributes to cycle when creating multiple plots.

  • linestyle::Union{Nothing, Symbol, Vector} = nothing sets the pattern of the line (e.g. :solid , :dot , :dashdot )

  • linewidth::Real = 1.5 sets the width of the line in pixel units.

Generic

  • visible::Bool = true sets whether the plot will be rendered or not.

  • overdraw::Bool = false sets whether the plot will draw over other plots. This specifically means ignoring depth checks in GL backends.

  • transparency::Bool = false adjusts how the plot deals with transparency. In GLMakie transparency = true results in using Order Independent Transparency.

  • fxaa::Bool = false adjusts whether the plot is rendered with fxaa (anti-aliasing). Note that line plots already use a different form of anti-aliasing.

  • inspectable::Bool = true sets whether this plot should be seen by DataInspector .

  • depth_shift::Float32 = 0f0 adjusts the depth value of a plot after all other transformations, i.e. in clip space, where 0 <= depth <= 1 . This only applies to GLMakie and WGLMakie and can be used to adjust render order (like a tunable overdraw).

  • model::Makie.Mat4f sets a model matrix for the plot. This replaces adjustments made with translate! , rotate! and scale! .

  • color sets the color of the plot. It can be given as a named color Symbol or a Colors.Colorant . Transparency can be included either directly as an alpha value in the Colorant or as an additional float in a tuple (color, alpha) . The color can also be set for each point in the line by passing a Vector of colors or be used to index the colormap by passing a Real number or Vector{<: Real} .

  • colormap::Union{Symbol, Vector{<:Colorant}} = :viridis sets the colormap that is sampled for numeric color s.

  • colorrange::Tuple{<:Real, <:Real} sets the values representing the start and end points of colormap .

  • nan_color::Union{Symbol, <:Colorant} = RGBAf(0,0,0,0) sets a replacement color for color = NaN .

  • space::Symbol = :data sets the transformation space for line position. See Makie.spaces() for possible inputs.

Examples 

using CairoMakie

f = Figure()
Axis(f[1, 1])

xs = 0:0.01:10
ys = 0.5 .* sin.(xs)

lines!(xs, ys)
lines!(xs, ys .- 1, linewidth = 5)
lines!(xs, ys .- 2, linewidth = 5, color = ys)
lines!(xs, ys .- 3, linestyle = :dash)

Linestyles 

using CairoMakie

f = Figure()
Axis(f[1, 1])

xs = 0:0.01:10
ys = 0.5 .* sin.(xs)

for (i, lw) in enumerate([1, 2, 3])
    lines!(xs, ys .- i/6, linestyle = nothing, linewidth = lw)
    lines!(xs, ys .- i/6 .- 1, linestyle = :dash, linewidth = lw)
    lines!(xs, ys .- i/6 .- 2, linestyle = :dot, linewidth = lw)
    lines!(xs, ys .- i/6 .- 3, linestyle = :dashdot, linewidth = lw)
    lines!(xs, ys .- i/6 .- 4, linestyle = :dashdotdot, linewidth = lw)
    lines!(xs, ys .- i/6 .- 5, linestyle = [0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.5], linewidth = lw)
