Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ phasor diagram incomplet (not sinus waves)

[frantov]

Dear All
I need to make some phasor diagrams. I have copy the example from
here
http://www.texample.net/tikz/examples/phasor-diagram/

but in my OSX Im not getting the waves shape (see attached).

What am I missing?

Regards

Hi Frantov,

welcome to the forum!

For this example you need to have

• gnuplot installed
• shell-escape enabled

Nowadays I would use pgfplots for this. In that case, the requirements above don't matter any more: pgfplots works natively in LaTeX and produces fine results. Take a look at pgfplots.net.

Perhaps show diagrams you are actually working on, if you like. I know pgfplots, I'm just a bit busy these days. Perhaps the pgfplots manual already helps.
