Package graph-plothi (in graph.i) - higher level plotting functions

Index of documented functions or symbols:


DOCUMENT color_bar
      or color_bar, levs, colors
  Draw a color bar below the current coordinate system.  If LEVS is
  not specified uses plfc_levs (set by previous call to plfc).  If
  COLORS is specified, it should have one more value than LEVS,
  otherwise equally spaced colors are chosen, or plfc_colors if
  plfc_levs was used.  With the vert=1 keyword the color bar appears
  to the left of the current coordinate system (vert=0 is default).
  By default, color_bar will attempt to label some of the color
  interfaces.  With the labs= keyword, you can force the labelling
  algorithm as follows: labs=0 supresses all labels, labs=n forces
  a label at every nth interface, labs=[i,n] forces a label at every
  nth interface starting from interface i (0<=i<=numberof(LEVS)).
  You can use the adjust= keyword to move the bar closer to (adjust<0)
  or further from (adjust>0) the viewport, and the height= keyword to
  set the height of any labels (default 14 points).

DOCUMENT pleb, y, x, dx=dx, dy=dy
  plots Y vs. X with error bars.

  Uncertainty on X and/or Y are specified with the dx= and dy= keywords.
  X and Y must have same dimensions, dx= and dy= must be conformable
  with X (or Y).  Either dx or dy may be nil for no error bar in that
  direction.  Scalar dx or dy gives equal error bars at all points,
  dimsof(dx)==dimsof(X), etc., gives different error bar at each point.
  dx= and dy= may also have a trailing dimension of length 2 in order
  to get asymmetric error bars; dx(..,1) is the lower error bar length,
  and dx(..,2) is the upper error bar length in that case, etc.

  If marker=, msize=, or width= is specified, markers are positioned
  at X, Y using plmk.  Use the mfill=1 keyword to get filled markers
  (width>=10. in plmk; width= refers to error bar width in pleb).

   x = [0, 1, 2, 3];
   y = [0, 2, 4, 7];
   pleb, y, x, dx=0.2, dy=[0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.3], mfill=1;
      Uncertainties on dx are the same for all X, and those
      on Y are different for each value of Y.  Filled markers
      will be displayed at (X, Y).

KEYWORDS: color, width, marker, msize
   dx     uncertainty on X
   dy     uncertainty on Y

DOCUMENT plfc, z, y, x, levs=z_values
      or plfc, z, y, x, ireg, levs=z_values

  fills contours of Z on the mesh Y versus X.  Y, X, and IREG are
  as for plm.  The Z array must have the same shape as Y and X.
  The function being contoured takes the value Z at each point
  (X,Y) -- that is, the Z array is presumed to be point-centered.

  The LEVS keyword is a list of the values of Z at which you want
  contour curves.  These curves divide the mesh into numberof(LEVS)+1
  regions, each of which is filled with a solid color.  If LEVS is
  nil, up to 19 "nice" equally spaced level values spanning the
  range of Z are selected.  The level values actually used are
  always output to the external variable plfc_levs.

  If you specify levs=, you may also specify colors= a list of
  colors of length numberof(LEVS)+1.  The colors should be indices
  into the current palette.  If you do not specify them, equally
  spaced colors are chosen.

  The following keywords are legal (each has a separate help entry):
KEYWORDS: triangle, region

DOCUMENT plmk, y,x

  Make a scatter plot of the points Y versus X.  If X is nil,
  it defaults to indgen(numberof(Y)).  By default, the marker
  cycles through 7 predefined marker shapes.  You may specify a shape
  using the marker= keyword, line width using the width= keyword (you
  get solid fills for width>=10), color using the color= keyword.
  You can also use the msize= keyword to scale the marker (default
  msize=1.0).  You can change the default width, color, or msize
  using the plmk_default function.

  The predefined marker= values are:

    1        square
    2        cross
    3        triangle
    4        circle
    5        diamond
    6        cross (rotated 45 degrees)
    7        triangle (upside down)

  You may also put marker=[xm,ym] where xm and ym are vectors
  of NDC coordinates to design your own custom marker shapes.

DOCUMENT plmk_default, color=color, msize=msize, width=width

  sets default color, msize, and width values for plmk.  Use
  width=10 to get solid fills.  With no parameters, plmk_default
  restores the initial default values.
