Defines the factor multiplied to the Y component of all data
plotted to the chart at runtime.
2.14.3.5 Attributes of a Data Set
You can edit individual attributes of a data set by selecting the bars or plot line of the desired data set and using the Edit/Properties menu option. Its Detail Dialog detail includes:
•
– Defines how the overall data set is structured. You can choose
one of the following data set types:
Representation
1. Bar Graph – Contains a fixed number of cells. Each new data point changes the
nearest cell's plot. Neighboring cells are NOT connected. The first cell begins
at (X_Minimum - Cell_Width / 2) units. The individual bar is centered over
the cell, and there is a small gap between bars.
2. Histogram – Also contains a fixed number of cells. Each new data point changes the nearest cell’s bar. There is no connection between neighboring cells. The
bar is set at the left edge of the cell, and there is no gap between bars. The first
data cell begins at the X-axis minimum.
3. Discrete Surface – Neighboring cells are connected to form a surface, however
there are still a fixed number of cells. Each new data point changes the nearest
“peak or valley” on the surface. The first cell begins at (X_Minimum Cell_Width / 2) units.
4. Continuous Surface – Variable number of cells, i.e. a new cell is added to the
graph each time a data point is plotted at the given (x,y) location. Neighboring
cells are connected.
•
A data set can be shown using a filled region or a simple surface line
with or without markers:.
Plot Type –
1. Fill – Plot a data cell using a filled polygon. The fill style can be reset using
the Style palette .
2. Line – Plot data cell using a polyline. Use the Style palette to reset the line
width or dash style.
3. Marker – Use a small marker to represent the data point. The specific marker
used for the data point is determined from the Edit/Mark Style menu option
menu. Markers are only valid for the “continuous surface” representation.
