Cookbook Recipe From IPlottable

If no plottable is named, ask before editing.

Paths: plottables in src/ScottPlot5/ScottPlot5/Plottables; recipes in src/ScottPlot5/ScottPlot5 Cookbook/Recipes/PlotTypes.

Fast path:

  1. Read the target plottable public API.
  2. Search existing PlotTypes recipes and read adjacent style.
  3. Add a nested RecipeBase to an existing category, or create a matching ICategory file in Recipes/PlotTypes.
  4. Keep code minimal, deterministic, and documentation-friendly.
  5. Run focused cookbook tests.
sh
rg "class .*:.*IPlottable|class TARGET" src/ScottPlot5/ScottPlot5
rg "TARGET|CategoryName =>" "src/ScottPlot5/ScottPlot5 Cookbook/Recipes/PlotTypes"

New category basics: namespace ScottPlotCookbook.Recipes.PlotTypes, implement ICategory, Chapter => Chapter.PlotTypes, one quickstart recipe unless the requested behavior needs something else. Prefer myPlot.Add.*() APIs and deterministic Generate data. Avoid unnecessary titles, labels, legends, limits, styling, comments, refactors, or cleanup.

Validation:

sh
dotnet test "src/ScottPlot5/ScottPlot5 Cookbook/ScottPlot Cookbook.csproj" --filter "FullyQualifiedName~RecipeTests"

If the new recipe must render during validation, run the cookbook project without the filter. Report the command and result.
