This plot was created with Gnuplot by n.

Plotted in Maxima with the following commands:

Heaviside step function:

u(t) := 1/2*(1+signum(t));

Rectangular function:

rect(t) := u(t + 1/2) - u(t - 1/2);

A train of rectangular pulses (or a square wave). This should be n=−∞..+∞, but I can't get Maxima to evaluate it, so I just chose n values that would give a close enough approximation for the visible area:

train(t) := sum(rect(t-2*n),n,-10,20);

The Hilbert transform of a rectangular pulse:

hrect(t) := log(abs((t+1/2)/(t-1/2)))/%PI;

A "train" of hrects. Again with the approximation, though this time it actually matters (rectangular function is 0 everywhere; this is not.):

htrain(t) := sum(hrect(t-2*n),n,-100,100);

The plot command:

plot2d([train(t)-0.5,htrain(t)],[t,0,6],[y,-1,1],[nticks,500], [gnuplot_preamble,"set grid; set ytics 1; set nokey"], [gnuplot_ps_term_command,"set term postscript enhanced landscape color solid lw 2 'Times-Roman' 20"], [gnuplot_term,ps], [gnuplot_out_file,"hilbert.ps"]);

This causes gnuplot to create a .ps file.

To convert the PostScript file to PNG:

1. Open it in the GIMP (make sure you have ghostscript installed! - Windows instructions)
   • Enter 500 under Resolution (it doesn't say "DPI" but I think that's what it means)
   • Uncheck Try bounding box (since the bounding box cuts off the edge, unfortunately. You can try with the bounding box first.)
   • Enter large values for Width and Height
   • Check Color
   • Check Strong anti-aliasing for both graphics and text
2. Crop off extra whitespace (Shift+C if you can't find it in the toolbox)
3. Possibly need to rotate it: Click Image → Transform → Rotate 90 degrees clockwise
4. Filters → Blur → Gaussian blur at 2.0 px (No need to blur if you use strong anti-aliasing during conversion. I see no significant difference between end results.)
5. Image → Scale Image...
   • Width and Height at 25%
   • Cubic interpolation
6. You can view at normal size if you want by pressing 1, Ctrl+E
7. Save as Hilbert transform.png

Original version of this plot was made in GNU Octave with the command:

imag(hilbert(x))
