Options for DataPlots

Options_for_DataPlots

-a

Syntax: set name -a

Set the plot to the animate mode to be used for animation. The data plot automatically removes its own trace when redrawn without generating an update message so that the effect is fully visualized.

-an

Syntax: set name -an value

Turn ON (value=1) or OFF(=0) the animate mode.

Example:

Set %C -an 1

Also, see REDRAW_REALTIME_SCOPE and REDRAW_REALTIME_WKS parameters of Update or Append function for Dataset or curvebase.

-ay

Syntax: set name -ay value

Set the plot to base on the specified Y axis within one layer:
Left Y (value=1) or Right Y(value=2), associated to the Plot Data on option in Display tab of Plot Details dialog.

Example:

set %c -ay 2; //set current plot to base on right Y.

-b3c

Syntax: set name -b3c dataset

Set the color map of surface plot to be from another matrix, and use the dataset to specify the values for contour fill

Example:

//Set colormap of active surface plot to be from range rr
range rr=[MBook1]MSheet1!1;
set %C -b3c rr;

-b3t

Syntax: set %c -b3t type

Set the fill mode of the 3D surface plot.

0=None
1=Fill piece by piece
2=Contour fill from matrix

-b3cc

Syntax: set %c -b3cc value

When the fill mode is Fill piece by piece, we can set individual color as 3D surface plot color fill. E.g.., 1 = black, 2 = red, 3 = green, 4 = blue, etc. See the color list in the appendix.

-b3cm

Syntax: set %c -b3cm dataset

When the fill mode is Fill piece by piece, we can set matrix as 3D surface plot color map.

Example:

//Set colormap of active surface plot to be from range rr
range rr=[MBook1]MSheet1!1;
set %c -b3cm rr;

-b3cn

Syntax: set %c -b3cn dataset

When the fill mode is Fill piece by piece, we can set matrix as 3D surface plot color index.

Example:

//Set colormap of active surface plot to be from range rr
range rr=[MBook1]MSheet1!1;
set %c -b3cn rr;

-b3cr

Syntax: set %c -b3cr dataset

When the fill mode is Fill piece by piece, we can set matrix as 3D surface plot color with direct RGB. Use color(R,G,B) to return the integer value of RGB color.

Example:

range rr=[MBook1]MSheet1!1;
set %c -b3cr rr;

-b3m

Syntax: set %c -b3m value

Enable or disable Mesh display on 3D surface plots.

0=None
1=X axis
2=Y axis
3=X and Y axes

Note: X and Y grids cannot be individually controlled for 3D parametric function plots. Mesh is either None (=0) or enabled (=1,2,3).

-c

Syntax: set name -c value

Set the plot line color and symbol edge color following the color palette. E.g.., 1 = black, 2 = red, 3 = green, 4 = blue, etc. See the color list in the appendix. Alternately, value can be the return value of the color() function, when used with RGB or HTML hex values (see the color() function).

To map the symbol edge or line color to a dataset, use ...

set DatasetName -c value;

... where value = 101 + number-of-columns-to-the-right for color index dataset located on the right side of data or value = 524389 + number-of-columns-to-the-left for color index dataset located on the left side of data. For example, to base the symbol edge color on a dataset located two columns to the right of the data plot's Y dataset in the worksheet, use value = 103 (Note: There is a limit of four columns to the right).

set %c -c 2; // set color to red by index
set %c -c color("#ff0000"); // set color to red by HTML hex value
set %c -c color(255,0,0); // set color to red by RGB value
set %c -c 102; // set the next column to the right as a color indexing column
set %c -c 524390; // set the next column to the left as a color indexing column

To set one data point color of the plot, use...

set DatasetName DataPointIndex -c value;

For example, you can set the second data point color by:

//Fill Column(A) and Column(B) with data
plotxy (1,2) plot:=201;//Plot a scatter line plot
set %C 2 -c 3;

-so

Syntax: set name -so value

Access the original plot for 3D scatter or trajectory plots.

Options in Option Switch table can be applied to the -so in this way:

-spi

Syntax: set name -spi value;

This command only works for 3D openGL-based surface plots created from XYZ data. It is used to specify an index column to create a triangular-shaped patch. The indices in the index column refer to the nth data point in the XYZ columns. Three indices create one triangular face by connecting the three data points. Hence the size of the index column must be a number that is divisible by three.

The name should be the name of data plot and value should be an integer that specifies the column, where 2 denotes the next column, 1 denotes the main column(Z column), 0 means NONE.

Note: When an index column is used to create a triangular patch, contour lines and mesh lines in the surface plot will be disabled.
