Batman Letterhead

After reading a post from HardOCP that gave the roots of the Batman symbol, I could not help imagining the letterhead of the world's greatest detective. The letterhead needs to say "Batman is classy."

I created this letterhead using the "Batman equation", Mathematica, and LaTeX. The computer in the Bat Cave is probably Unix-based and cannot use Microsoft Word. Therefore, Batman must use LaTeX. The first step to creating this letterhead is to plot the symbol. A post from Playing With Mathematica has done this for me already with seven simple lines.

The Show function is used to overlay the six plots to reveal the desired product.

To extract the points used for the final plot the following command must be executed for each root equation.

After extracting and compiling all data points into one .dat file, we are ready to create the letterhead in LaTeX. The following LaTeX code relies on the pstricks and pst-plot packages. It plots the points in the saved data file and creates the bar that separates Batman's contact information.

\begin{document}
\readdata{\BatData}{BatData.dat}
\noindent\begin{minipage}[b]{5cm}
\begin{center}
\psset{xunit=0.35cm,yunit=0.5cm}
\begin{pspicture}(0,0)(0,2)
\listplot[plotstyle=dots]{\BatData}
\end{pspicture}
\end{center}
\end{minipage}
\hfill
\begin{minipage}[b]{7cm}

\end{minipage}
