GRAPH command
Syntax: |
GRAPH { 'legendtext' } x y { ye1 { xe1 { ye2 { xe2 }}}}
|
Qualifiers: |
\AXESONLY, \OVERLAY, \POLAR, \RADAR, \REPLOT, \HISTOGRAM, \YONRIGHT, \XONTOP, \SMOOTH
|
Defaults: |
axes drawn, \REPLOT, \-POLAR, \-RADAR, \-HISTOGRAM, \-YONRIGHT,
\-XONTOP, \-SMOOTH, legendtext ignored
|
Examples: |
GRAPH X Y
|
By default, the GRAPH
command draws Cartesian axes.
If the \POLAR
or the \RADAR
qualifier is used, the data is assumed to be
in polar coordinates, i.e., radius and angle (in degrees), and a polar plot will be drawn.
To draw: | use command: |
data with axes | GRAPH |
just the data | GRAPH\OVERLAY |
just the axes | GRAPH\AXESONLY |
y-axis on the right (Cartesian only) | GRAPH\YONRIGHT |
x-axis on the top (Cartesian only) | GRAPH\XONTOP |
smooth curve through the data (Cartesian only) | GRAPH\SMOOTH |
histograms (Cartesian only) | GRAPH\HISTOGRAM |
The parameters can be vectors or scalars. If input vectors have different lengths, a warning is issued and the minimum length of all of the input vectors will be used.
