Plot Commands

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
