    1 0 0 setrgbcolor newpath 0 0 1 0 360 arc stroke newpath Preface 1 0 1 0 360 arc stroke This book will show how to use PostScript for producing mathematical graphics, at several levels of sophistication. It includes also some discussion of the mathematics involved in computer graphics as well as a few remarks about good style in mathematical illustration. To explain mathematics well often requires good illustrations, and computers in our age have changed drastically the potential of graphical output for this purpose. There are many aspects to this change. The most apparent is that computers allow one to produce graphics output of sheer volume never before imagined. A less obvious one is that they have made it possible for amateurs to produce their own illustrations of professional quality. Possible, but not easy, and certainly not as easy as it is to produce their own mathematical writing with Donald Knuth’s program TEX. In spite of the advances in technology over the past 50 years, it is still not a trivial matter to come up routinely with figures that show exactly what you want them to show, exactly where you want them to show it. This is to some extent inevitable—pictures at their best contain a lot of information, and almost by definition this means that they are capable of wide variety. It is surely not possible to come up with a really simple tool that will let you create easily all the graphics you want to create—the range of possibilities is just too large.

  • CSS Font Stacks by Classification
    CSS font stacks by classification Written by Frode Helland When Johann Gutenberg printed his famous Bible more than 600 years ago, the only typeface available was his own. Since the invention of moveable lead type, throughout most of the 20th century graphic designers and printers have been limited to one – or perhaps only a handful of typefaces – due to costs and availability. Since the birth of desktop publishing and the introduction of the worlds firstWYSIWYG layout program, MacPublisher (1985), the number of typefaces available – literary at our fingertips – has grown exponen- tially. Still, well into the 21st century, web designers find them selves limited to only a handful. Web browsers depend on the users own font files to display text, and since most people don’t have any reason to purchase a typeface, we’re stuck with a selected few. This issue force web designers to rethink their approach: letting go of control, letting the end user resize, restyle, and as the dynamic web evolves, rewrite and perhaps also one day rearrange text and data. As a graphic designer usually working with static printed items, CSS font stacks is very unfamiliar: A list of typefaces were one take over were the previous failed, in- stead of that single specified Stempel Garamond 9/12 pt. that reads so well on matte stock. Am I fighting the evolution? I don’t think so. Some design principles are universal, independent of me- dium. I believe good typography is one of them. The technology that will let us use typefaces online the same way we use them in print is on it’s way, although moving at slow speed.

  • Dynamic and Interactive R Graphics for the Web: the Gridsvg Package
    JSS Journal of Statistical Software MMMMMM YYYY, Volume VV, Issue II. http://www.jstatsoft.org/ Dynamic and Interactive R Graphics for the Web: The gridSVG Package Paul Murrell Simon Potter The Unversity of Auckland The Unversity of Auckland Abstract This article describes the gridSVG package, which provides functions to convert grid- based R graphics to an SVG format. The package also provides a function to associate hyperlinks with components of a plot, a function to animate components of a plot, a function to associate any SVG attribute with a component of a plot, and a function to add JavaScript code to a plot. The last two of these provides a basis for adding interactivity to the SVG version of the plot. Together these tools provide a way to generate dynamic and interactive R graphics for use in web pages. Keywords: world-wide web, graphics, R, SVG. 1. Introduction Interactive and dynamic plots within web pages are becomingly increasingly popular, as part of a general trend towards making data sets more open and accessible on the web, for example, GapMinder (Rosling 2008) and ManyEyes (Viegas, Wattenberg, van Ham, Kriss, and McKeon 2007). The R language and environment for statistical computing and graphics (R Development Core Team 2011) has many facilities for producing plots, and it can produce graphics formats that are suitable for including in web pages, but the core graphics facilities in R are largely focused on static plots. This article describes an R extension package, gridSVG, that is designed to embellish and transform a standard, static R plot and turn it into a dynamic and interactive plot that can be embedded in a web page.

  • Chapter 13, Using Fonts with X
    13 Using Fonts With X Most X clients let you specify the font used to display text in the window, in menus and labels, or in other text fields. For example, you can choose the font used for the text in fvwm menus or in xterm windows. This chapter gives you the information you need to be able to do that. It describes what you need to know to select display fonts for use with X client applications. Some of the topics the chapter covers are: The basic characteristics of a font. The font-naming conventions and the logical font description. The use of wildcards and aliases for simplifying font specification The font search path. The use of a font server for accessing fonts resident on other systems on the network. The utilities available for managing fonts. The use of international fonts and character sets. The use of TrueType fonts. Font technology suffers from a tension between what printers want and what display monitors want. For example, printers have enough intelligence built in these days to know how best to handle outline fonts. Sending a printer a bitmap font bypasses this intelligence and generally produces a lower quality printed page. With a monitor, on the other hand, anything more than bitmapped information is wasted. Also, printers produce more attractive print with variable-width fonts. While this is true for monitors as well, the utility of monospaced fonts usually overrides the aesthetic of variable width for most contexts in which we’re looking at text on a monitor. This chapter is primarily concerned with the use of fonts on the screen.
