Hi, did anyone succeed in using pgfplots within a CLD document?
While context.starttikzpicture() … context.stoptikzpicture() seems to
work, everything inbetween is just output but not executed.
So I guess,
context.starttikzpicture()
context.startaxis{title="bla", xlabel="mm", ylabel="min"}
context.addplot(…)
context.stopaxis()
context.stoptikzpicture()
… is not the right way?
you have to get around catcode hell ... so best collect the picture in a
string and then flush is, like:
\startluacode
buffers.assign("crap",[[
\string\starttikzpicture
\string\startaxis[title=bla,xlabel=mm,ylabel=min]
\string\addplot{exp(x)};
\string\stopaxis
\string\stoptikzpicture
]])
context.getbuffer { "crap" }
\stopluacode
here we need \string but in pure cld likely not
next time come with a proper mwe ... now i had to waste time to figure
out that i had to load more than tikz (i'm not familiar with it so it's
trial and error for me)
Thank you!
Sorry, the code is on a different computer…
But the whole crap will become a meeting talk, hopefully an interesting
one ;)
