Plot Commands

From LIBISIS

The main purpose of the graphics package is to plot graphs. Several different commands exist to facilitate this.

One Dimensional Plots

Plot Types

Images of the one dimensional plot types can be seen here.


Command Plot Type
dl Line Plot
dm Marker Plot
de Errorbar Plot
dh Histogram Plot
dp Marker with Errorbars Plot
dp Marker and Lin with Errorbars Plot


Syntax:

>> dh(w, 'property', value, 'property2', value2,...)

where w is a dataset and 'property' and value define property-value pairs. See the functions for a list of properties that can be set.

Overplots

If an overplot command is used, then the next plot will appear on top of the plot in the relevant plot window.

Command Plot Type
pl Overplot Line
pm Overplot Marker
pe Overplot Errorbar
ph Overplot Histogram
pp Overplot Marker with Errorbars
pp Overplot Marker and Line with Errorbars

Plotting Arrays of IXTdataset_1d

If a one dimensional plot command is given an array of IXTdataset_1d objects then each IXTdataset_1d will be plotted as an overplot. Their order in the array is the same as the plotting order so that

>> dl(w, optional)

is the same as

for i = 1:length(ww)
    pl(w(i), optional)
end


EXAMPLE:

If w is a 4 element array of IXTdataset_1d objects then

>> acolor('red', 'blue', 'green')
>> dl(w)

Gives the following result

Plot of array of IXTdataset_1d objects
