window

The window function creates a coordinate transformation that maps two "inner" points (xmin, ymin), (xmax, ymax) to two outer points (x, y), (x+width, y+height).

The transformation may be linear or logarithmic in one or both directions.

By default, window flips the direction of the y axis, because SVG increases y downward and most plotting applications increase y upward.

Arguments

• window(xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax, x, y, width, height, xlogbase, ylogbase, minusInfinity, flipx, flipy)*

	xmin, xmax		_*required*_		"inner" x range
	ymin, ymax		_*required*_		"inner" y range
	x, y		_default_=0, 0		"outer" upper-left corner
	width, height		_default_=100, 100		"outer" width and height
	xlogbase, ylogbase		_default_=None, None		if a number, transform logarithmically
	minusInfinity		_default_=-1000		if an axis is logarithmic and an object is plotted at 0 or a negative value, -1000 will be used as a stand-in for NaN
	flipx		False		if True, reverse the x axis
	flipy		True		if True, reverse the y axis
