Remeis X-fig plot gallery

Please add your with slxfig created plots! Preferably format: clickable image of your final product, leading to the s-lang code (with or without comments). When uploading pictures, please don't forget to give them a unique name, as they are all stored in one directory.

parameter-space sketches

Chisqr parabola.png Chisqr ellipse.png Simple plots to sketch the meaning of sigma-values in 1-dim or 2-dim chi-squared parameter spaces. (MB: Be aware that the n-sigma projection of 2D contours on one parameter differs from the n-sigma levels obtained for only this parameter (1D), as the delta-chi^2 (or delta statistic) depends on the number of parameters.)

Combining RXTE-ASM, Swift-BAT and MAXI lightcurves of Cyg X-1 in one plot. The RXTE lightcurve is color-coded for the low/hard (blue) and the high/soft (red) state. The colors for Swift are the same as for RXTE at the same time, or, when the RXTE lightcurve stops, as during times with similar count rates. MAXI has its own scale from black (low/hard) to grey (high/soft). Additionally, times of Chandra observations won by our group are indicated (AO13 was scheduled but then canceled). — Natalie Hell] & Ivica.Miskovicova@sternwarte.uni-erlangen.de Ivica Miškovičová

Wind structure in Cyg X-1

Sketch.png

You may not know, but you can draw basically anything with slxfig! Here is a very nice example from Manfred's PhD thesis (see Fig. 2.62 in there for an interpretation), describing our idea of the wind structure in the Cyg X-1 system.

The plot includes a couple of very nice tricks. Slxfig provides a function to draw photons. The example also shows how to add existing eps files to the figure, and how to add your own functions to the structure saving the xfig plot. — Manfred Hanke]

It also defines additional TeX commands and packages for plotting purposes, such as using no bold face.

Multipanel spectral model decomposition

File:Multipanel decomposition.png&400

Spectral model decompositions of a whole sample using multiplot. Compact and flexible code thanks to some clean file structuring and efficiently placed loops.—Marco Fink]

Chi²-distribution and CDF

The Chi²-distribution and its according cumulative distribution function for a large number of degrees of freedom. Confidence levels are indicated in the CDF. Feel free to use it in your thesis.—Marco Fink]

Polar Plot

Polarplot.png

In the isisscripts there is a function 'xfig_polarplot_new, with which provides an easy way to plot an individual adjustable polar plot. This plot is just one very simple example, for more information see 'isis> help xfig_polarplot_new'.—Sebastian Falkner]

Xfig plot image

Plotimage1.png Plotimage2.png

Other than the %plot_png function of the xfig_plot structure this function aims to plot images with a (given) ARBITRARY x/y-grid in a correct way (NOTE that .plot_png does not care for x/y values!). This also allows to plot images with logarithmic scales without any problems! In addition it is easy to plot gabbed images by just giving the x and y grid as bin_lo and bin_hi.

These plots are just two very simple examples, for more information see 'isis> help xfig_plot_image'.—Sebastian Falkner]

Xfig plot colormap

Plotcmap1.png Plotcmap2.png

The function 'xfig_plot_colormap' creates a horizontal, vertical colormap/colorscale for a given image. For more information see 'isis> help xfig_plot_colormap'.—Sebastian Falkner]
