  • Prerequisites: Plots.jl backend configured

  • Time: 8 minutes

  • Output: 2D/3D MTG topology diagrams with Plots.jl

PlantGeom.jl provides recipes to make plots using Plots.jl. The only recipe so far is to make a diagram of the MTG tree. This is especially useful to control the integrity of and MTG (where it branches, where are the different scales...).

To use this recipe, load Plots.jl and select any backend. The built-in plotly() backend is a convenient option for interactive HTML output and does not require an additional plotting-backend dependency.

The plot recipe provides some arguments to customize the plot:

  • mode = "2d": The mode for plotting, either "2d" or "3d"

  • node_color = :black: the node color, can be a color or any MTG attribute

  • edge_color = node_color: same as node_color, but for the edges

  • colormap = :viridis: the colormap used for coloring

  • color_missing = RGBA(0, 0, 0, 0.3): The color used for missing values

julia
using Plots
plotly()
opf = read_opf(joinpath(dirname(dirname(pathof(PlantGeom))),"test","files","simple_plant.opf"))
plot(opf, node_color = :Length)

The default plot is a 2D projection of the MTG, but you can also get a 3D projection using the mode keyword argument:

julia
plot(opf, node_color = :Length, mode = "3d")
