  • Circles with center outside plot range are not drawn

    From Anthony@21:1/5 to All on Tue Feb 18 23:13:59 2020
    I am ploting positions of object relative to a set of circles of specific radius.

    However the center of these circles fall outside the range of the points
    being plotted and if that happens the circles do not get drawn.


    Example

    set xrange [7300:17300]
    set yrange [2050:-8050]

    set object 19 circle at 197,-200 size 13696 lw 1 fc rgb "blue"
    set object 20 circle at 197,-200 size 14976 lw 1 fc rgb "blue"

    plot "-" using 1:3 with points pt 7
    12821 37 -7297
    e


    yes the second column is not used.


    This does not show the blue cirlces


    But if I expand range to include the center of the center

    set xrange [0:17300]
    replot


    Then the circle does get plotted.

    How can I get the circle to plot, when the center of the circle is OUTSIDE
    the plot range!

    Does "set clip" make no difference here? (apparently not, also as
    documented "set clip affects only points and lines produced by plot
    styles lines, linespoints, points, and vectors."

    I guess you have no chance here, except plotting on a larger sheet,
    clipping off the edges by hand ( set four white rectangles ) and
    then overprinting your axes via multiplot.
