\begin{abstract}
Plotting functions with \texttt{pst-plot} is very powerful but sometimes difficult to learn since
the syntax of |\psplot| and |\parametricplot| requires some PostScript knowledge. What
\InfixRPNPackage{} and \pstInfixplotPackage{} intend to do is to simplify the usage of
\texttt{pst-plot} for the beginner, providing macro commands that convert natural mathematical
expressions to PS syntax.
\end{abstract}

\section{Basic examples: usage of \InfixRPNPackage}

|\usepackage{infix-RPN}| for \LaTeX{} users or |\input infix-RPN.tex| for \TeX{} users gives access
to three macros: |\infixtoRPN|, |\RPN| and |\DeclareNewPSOperator|.

The macro |\infixtoRPN| takes an infix expression as argument and converts it to Reverse Polish
Notation. The result of the conversion is put in the macro |\RPN|.

\begin{SideBySideExample}[xrightmargin=6cm]
  ?HLCBWz&amp;\infixtoRPN"{2+3-4*x}?HLCBWz&amp;\RPN"

  \infixtoRPN{log(-x)}\RPN

  \infixtoRPN{2*sin(x/y)}\RPN
\end{SideBySideExample}

\bigskip\bigskip

Multiple signs are OK:

\begin{SideBySideExample}[xrightmargin=6cm]
  \infixtoRPN{3?HLCBWz&amp;+-+--"0.5}\RPN
\end{SideBySideExample}

\bigskip\bigskip

For operators that require more than one argument, arguments must be separated with commas:

\begin{SideBySideExample}[xrightmargin=6cm]
  \infixtoRPN{atan(x?HLCBWz&amp;,"y)}\RPN
\end{SideBySideExample}

\bigskip\bigskip

There is a difference between variables and operators. There are 11 pre-defined
operators\footnote{Actually, there are five more operators defined : \texttt{add}, \texttt{sub},
\texttt{mul}, \texttt{div} and \texttt{exp}. Those ones should \emph{not} be used direclty. Use
|+|, |-|, |*|, |/| and |^| instead, which is, by the way, the main interest of using infix
notation.}$^{,}$\footnote{If you use \texttt{pst-math} with \texttt{infix-RPN}, PS operators added
by \texttt{pst-math} are declared by |\DeclareNewPSOperator| and are therefore directly accessible
in any infix expression.} which are basically those of PostScript: \texttt{abs}, \texttt{sin},
\texttt{cos}, \texttt{atan}, \texttt{neg}, \texttt{ceiling}, \texttt{floor}, \texttt{truncate},
\texttt{sqrt}, \texttt{ln}, \texttt{log}. You can define more operators with the
|\DeclareNewPSOperator| macro:

\begin{SideBySideExample}[xrightmargin=6cm,label={Div is a PS operator defined by pstricks}]
  ?HLCBWz&amp;\DeclareNewPSOperator"{Div}
  \infixtoRPN{Div(x,y)}\RPN
\end{SideBySideExample}

\section{Plot examples with \InfixRPNPackage}

\begin{PSideBySideExample}[xrightmargin=10.5cm](0,-2)(10,3)
  \psset{plotpoints=1000}
  \psaxes{-&gt;}(0,0)(0,-2)(10,3)
  \infixtoRPN{sqrt(x)}
  \psplot[linecolor=green]{0}{10}{\RPN}
  \infixtoRPN{x^0.4}
  \psplot[linecolor=red]{0}{10}{\RPN}
  \infixtoRPN{sin(-x*180/3.1415)}
  \psplot[linecolor=blue]{0}{10}{\RPN}
\end{PSideBySideExample}

\section{Plot examples with \pstInfixplotPackage}

If you don't want the limitation of having to invoke two macro calls (namely |\infixtoRPN| and
|\RPN|) for plotting, then use the \pstInfixplotPackage{} package! \LaTeX{} users should type
|\usepackage{pst-infixplot}| in the preamble when \TeX{} users should type %
|\input pst-infixplot.tex|.

\pstInfixplotPackage{} automatically loads \texttt{pstricks}, \texttt{pst-plot} and
\texttt{infix-RPN}. \pstInfixplotPackage{} defines two macro commands: |\psPlot| and
|\parametricPlot|.

The syntax of |\psPlot| is:
\texttt{\char`\\psPlot[\textit{&lt;parameters&gt;}]\{\textit{x\_begin}\}\{\textit{x\_end}\}\{\textit{infix\_expression}\}}
where the optional \texttt{\textit{parameters}} are any pstricks valid parameter.

\begin{PSideBySideExample}[xrightmargin=7.5cm](0,-2)(7,3)
  \psset{plotpoints=1000}
  \psaxes{-&gt;}(0,0)(0,-2)(7,3)
  ?HLCBWz&amp;\psPlot"[linecolor=green]{0}{7}{sqrt(x)}
  \psPlot[linecolor=red]{0}{7}{x^0.4}
  \psPlot[linecolor=blue]{0}{7}{sin(-x*180/3.1415)}
  \psplot{0}{7}{x neg 180 mul 3.1415 div cos}
\end{PSideBySideExample}

The syntax of |\parametricPlot| is:

\texttt{\char`\\parametricPlot[\textit{&lt;parameters&gt;}]\{\textit{x\_begin}\}\{\textit{x\_end}\}\{\textit{infix\_x\_expression}\}%
\{\textit{infix\_y\_expression}\}} where the optional \texttt{\textit{parameters}} are any pstricks
valid parameter.

\begin{PSideBySideExample}[xrightmargin=4cm](0,-2)(3.8,3)
  \psset{plotpoints=1000}
  \psaxes{-&gt;}(0,0)(0,-2)(3.8,3)
  ?HLCBWz&amp;\parametricPlot"[linecolor=red]{-30}{70}{3.5*cos(t)}{2.3*sqrt(abs(sin(t)))}
  \parametricPlot[linecolor=green]{-30}{60}{4*sqrt(abs(floor(t)))/10}{t/20}
  \parametricplot{-30}{60}{2 t cos mul 3 t sin mul}
\end{PSideBySideExample}
