Here's a LaTeX version.

draw[->] (0, 0) to (12.5, 0) node[right] {$x$};
foreach X in {0,...,12}
{ifnumX>0
node at (X,-0.5) {$X$};
fi
draw (X,-10+X) circle (2pt); }
foreach Y in {-20,-18,...,10}

Thanks! I don't know why, but for some reason theforeach
wasn't working for me earlier – that shortens the code nicely. I wonder if the newdatavisualization
command could somehow be used here.

@morbusg Yes, it could. The question is what you want to achieve. If you only want some axis, grid, and plot of that sort you may be better off with pgfplots. However, I have no experience with plain TeX.

Well the part insidebegin{tikzpicture} … end{tikzpicture}
in your first code block uses only TikZ commands so it's not so surprising that it works with plain TeX too (because TikZ has been designed that way), though I guess it's amazing that TikZ has been implemented that way in the first place. :-) I expect most “LaTeX” answers using only TikZ commands can be quite easily converted to run withpdftex

So after spending a night reading the manual while in a trial-error-loop, after many solemn utterances to invoke supernatural power to inflict harm or punishment on something, all of which now regretted, I finally – victoriously – formed the following:
documentclass{article}
usepackage{tikz}
usetikzlibrary{datavisualization, datavisualization.formats.functions}
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}
datavisualization[
school book axes
, x axis={unit length=5mm}
, y axis={
unit length=5mm
, ticks={step=2}
, grid
, scaling = min at 0cm and max at 5cm
}
, visualize as line
]
data[format=function] {
var x : interval [0:12];
func y = (value x - 10) * 2;
};
end{tikzpicture}
end{document}
Boom! Pow! Shazam! Holy function data format, Batman! This is pretty darn nice, it has to be said.
Only trouble I found, is that it does not work with the plain format, forcing the user to descend to a lower plane of enlightenment.

Well the part insidebegin{tikzpicture} … end{tikzpicture}
in your first code block uses only TikZ commands so it's not so surprising that it works with plain TeX too (because TikZ has been designed that way), though I guess it's amazing that TikZ has been implemented that way in the first place. :-) I expect most “LaTeX” answers using only TikZ commands can be quite easily converted to run withpdftex

@ShreevatsaR Yes, that's all true, but the above is the second plain TeX document I ever compiled so for me it was a miracle that it immediately worked.

Thanks! I don't know why, but for some reason the
foreach
wasn't working for me earlier – that shortens the code nicely. I wonder if the new datavisualization
command could somehow be used here.– morbusg

@morbusg Yes, it could. The question is what you want to achieve. If you only want some axis, grid, and plot of that sort you may be better off with pgfplots. However, I have no experience with plain TeX.

So after spending a night reading the manual while in a trial-error-loop, after many solemn utterances to invoke supernatural power to inflict harm or punishment on something, all of which now regretted, I finally – victoriously – formed the following:
documentclass{article}
usepackage{tikz}
usetikzlibrary{datavisualization, datavisualization.formats.functions}
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}
datavisualization[
school book axes
, x axis={unit length=5mm}
, y axis={
unit length=5mm
, ticks={step=2}
, grid
, scaling = min at 0cm and max at 5cm
}
, visualize as line
]
data[format=function] {
var x : interval [0:12];
func y = (value x - 10) * 2;
};
end{tikzpicture}
end{document}
Boom! Pow! Shazam! Holy function data format, Batman! This is pretty darn nice, it has to be said.
Only trouble I found, is that it does not work with the plain format, forcing the user to descend to a lower plane of enlightenment.

@marmot well I suppose I could try and derive a plain version from a LaTeX answer.
