The first code:



documentclass[pstricks]{standalone}
usepackage{pst-plot}
defm{1/((x-1)^2)^(1/3)}

begin{document}
begin{pspicture}(-1,-1)(3.5,3.5)
psaxes[labelFontSize=scriptstyle]{->}(0,0)(3,3)[$x$,-90][$y$,0]
psplot[ algebraic,
% plotstyle=curve,
plotpoints=1000, <<-- notice
yMaxValue=3,
linewidth=1.5pt,
linecolor=red]{0}{3}{m}
psline[linestyle=dashed](1,0)(1,3)
end{pspicture}
end{document}


enter image description here



The second code:



documentclass[pstricks]{standalone}
usepackage{pst-plot}
defm{1/((x-1)^2)^(1/3)}

begin{document}

yMaxValue=3,
linewidth=1.5pt,
linecolor=red]{0}{3}{m}
psline[linestyle=dashed](1,0)(1,3)
end{pspicture}
end{document}


The result of compiling is frustrating.




  1. What is the difference between them?

  2. Can you fix the picture to make it become equal?

          The best way to explain is showing the animations, right?

          It needs at least 3 points. When N=2 there is no graph.

          My best practices




          • Split the graph into two or more invocation of psplot when there are discontinuities in a single plot.

          • Increasing plotpoints blindly will waste more storage because the size of PDF (or SVG) increases as well.

          • You don't need to change plotstyle most of the time.


          Explanation





          • defxl{3 -1.5 exp neg 1 add} is the value of xl<1 such that f(xl)=3.

          • defxr{3 -1.5 exp 1 add} is the value of xr>1 such that f(xr)=3.


          • plotstyle represents the type of curves is used to connect points.



          • plotpoints represents the number of points used to draw the curve.

          • All curves are plotted by connecting points. With setting yMaxValue you have an internal if y > yMaxValue then do not plot. It depends to the number of points how near do you get with the calculated point to the maximal value. With clipping you have exactly the same y value. With plotpoints=5000 they are also nearly the same.

          • So, when should we use plotstyle replace plotpoints and opposite?
            – chishimotoji
            Dec 1 at 14:16










          • plotstyle=curve or bezier only for curves with continuous bends and plotpoints > 100. plotstyle=line for a lot of plotpoints and a curve which has not too big slopes. Howver, for plotpoints > 1000 it doesn't really matter which plotstyle do you use.
            – Herbert
            Dec 1 at 14:20












          • Why we use plotpoints > 500 will make file size bigger than plotstyle?

          My best practices




          • Split the graph into two or more invocation of psplot when there are discontinuities in a single plot.

          • Increasing plotpoints blindly will waste more storage because the size of PDF (or SVG) increases as well.

          • You don't need to change plotstyle most of the time.


          Explanation





          • defxl{3 -1.5 exp neg 1 add} is the value of xl<1 such that f(xl)=3.

          • defxr{3 -1.5 exp 1 add} is the value of xr>1 such that f(xr)=3.


          • plotstyle represents the type of curves is used to connect points.



          • plotpoints represents the number of points used to draw the curve.

          • All curves are plotted by connecting points. With setting yMaxValue you have an internal if y > yMaxValue then do not plot. It depends to the number of points how near do you get with the calculated point to the maximal value. With clipping you have exactly the same y value. With plotpoints=5000 they are also nearly the same.

          • plotstyle=curve or bezier only for curves with continuous bends and plotpoints > 100. plotstyle=line for a lot of plotpoints and a curve which has not too big slopes. Howver, for plotpoints > 1000 it doesn't really matter which plotstyle do you use.

          All curves are plotted by connecting points. With setting yMaxValue you have an internal if y > yMaxValue then do not plot. It depends to the number of points how near do you get with the calculated point to the maximal value. With clipping you have exactly the same y value. With plotpoints=5000 they are also nearly the same.

          So, when should we use plotstyle replace plotpoints and opposite?

          plotstyle=curve or bezier only for curves with continuous bends and plotpoints > 100. plotstyle=line for a lot of plotpoints and a curve which has not too big slopes. Howver, for plotpoints > 1000 it doesn't really matter which plotstyle do you use.

          Why we use plotpoints > 500 will make file size bigger than plotstyle?
