  • The equation is very complex to plot. I am not sure if such functions are available on latex. It is called Laguerre polynomial.

    Here are additional possibilities. No, Laguerre polynomials are not too complex to be plotted, but this is a LaTeX site, so if you provide equations and an example, people will be happy to help you, but they are less eager to dig out from the internet and guess what you might want.

    I would give +100 if I could. Do you know the postscript syntax, or do you use a tool to convert human readable instructions into this language?

    @marmot The shading accepts a very restricted subset of postscript. See PDF32000_2008.pdf Appendix B. I have some muscle memory inherited from the last time I answered the Hermite-Gaussian question.

    You can tell that it is not from an automatic tool because cos(20r+90) should be cos^2(20r+90)
