Source code for sympy.plotting.plot_implicit

"""Implicit plotting module for SymPy

The module implements a data series called ImplicitSeries which is used by
``Plot`` class to plot implicit plots for different backends. The module,
by default, implements plotting using interval arithmetic. It switches to a
fall back algorithm if the expression cannot be plotted using interval arithmetic.
It is also possible to specify to use the fall back algorithm for all plots.

Boolean combinations of expressions cannot be plotted by the fall back
algorithm.

[docs]def plot_implicit(expr, x_var=None, y_var=None, **kwargs): """A plot function to plot implicit equations / inequalities. Arguments ========= - ``expr`` : The equation / inequality that is to be plotted. - ``x_var`` (optional) : symbol to plot on x-axis or tuple giving symbol and range as ``(symbol, xmin, xmax)`` - ``y_var`` (optional) : symbol to plot on y-axis or tuple giving symbol and range as ``(symbol, ymin, ymax)`` If neither ``x_var`` nor ``y_var`` are given then the free symbols in the expression will be assigned in the order they are sorted. The following keyword arguments can also be used: - ``adaptive``. Boolean. The default value is set to True. It has to be set to False if you want to use a mesh grid. - ``depth`` integer. The depth of recursion for adaptive mesh grid. Default value is 0. Takes value in the range (0, 4). - ``points`` integer. The number of points if adaptive mesh grid is not used. Default value is 200. - ``title`` string .The title for the plot. - ``xlabel`` string. The label for the x-axis - ``ylabel`` string. The label for the y-axis Aesthetics options: - ``line_color``: float or string. Specifies the color for the plot. See ``Plot`` to see how to set color for the plots. plot_implicit, by default, uses interval arithmetic to plot functions. If the expression cannot be plotted using interval arithmetic, it defaults to a generating a contour using a mesh grid of fixed number of points. By setting adaptive to False, you can force plot_implicit to use the mesh grid. The mesh grid method can be effective when adaptive plotting using interval arithmetic, fails to plot with small line width.
