@defmodule[mrlib/plot]{The @racketmodname[mrlib/plot] library provides
a simple tool for plotting data values to a device context.}
@bold{This is an old library, kept only for compatibility.} You will
undoubtedly want to use the @racketmodname[plot #:indirect] library instead, which offers
many more features and is actively maintained.
@defstruct[data-set ([points (listof (is-a?/c point%))]
[connected? any/c]
[pen (is-a?/c pen%)]
[min-x real?]
[max-x real?]
[min-y real?]
[max-y real?])]{
The @racket[points] field contains the data values to plot, and
@racket[connected?] indicates whether the points are connected by a
line. The @racket[pen] field provides a pen for plotting
points/lines. The remaining fields determine the plotting area within
a drawing context.}

[axis-number-font (is-a?/c font%)]

[x-axis-marking (listof real?)]
[y-axis-marking (listof real?)]
[x-axis-label string?]
[y-axis-label string?])]{
Configures a plot. The @racket[grid?] field determines whether to draw
a grid at axis markings, and the @racket[x-axis-marking] and
@racket[y-axis-marking] lists supply locations for marks on each
axis. The other fields are self-explanatory.}
@defproc[(plot [dc (is-a?/c dc<%>)]
[data (listof data-set?)]
[setup plot-setup?])
void?]{
Draws the @racket[data-set]s in @racket[data] into the given
@racket[dc]. Uses drawing-context coordinates in @racket[data-set]s
that will accommodate all of the data sets.}
