<title>Manual page for Gallery_-_Line_plots(PL)</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>
This page contains a series of lineplot examples
illustrating the available varieties and options.
These examples all use ploticus's
<a href="../doc/lineplot.html">proc lineplot</a>.
<p>
<h1><br>The line1 prefab</h1>
<a href="../doc/line1.html">line1 prefab<br><img src="../prefabs/line1c.gif"></a>
<br>
The line1 prefab is the easiest way to create basic line plots without writing any script code.
<p>
<h1><br>Example 1</h1>
<a href="lineplot1.htm">lineplot1<br><img src="lineplot1.gif"></a>
<br>
Simple example. Both X and Y come from data fields.
<h1><br><br>Example 1a</h1>
<br><a href="sar-cpu.htm">sar-cpu<br><img src="sar-cpu.gif"></a>
<br>
This example plots cpu utilization data produced by the sar(1) utility.
<h1><br><br>Example 2</h1>
<br><a href="stock.htm">stock<br><img src="stock.gif"></a>
<br>
Stock price / volume display. The data are read from a file.
<h1><br><br>Example 3</h1>
<br><a href="lineplot3.htm">lineplot3<br><img src="lineplot3.gif"></a>
<br>
This example is a comparison of two values over time,
and displays the curves as step values. Step values are used where
interpolation between samples is not appropriate,
or for stylistic reasons. Use the <b>stairstep</b> option.
Y values are shown at each step as well (<b>numbers</b> option.
<h1><br><br>Example 4</h1>
<br><a href="devol.htm">devol<br><img src="devol.gif"></a>
<br>
Another example where stairstep mode is used.
This example is also available with a <a href="transparent.htm">transparent background</a>.
<h1><br><br>Example 5</h1>
<br><a href="lineplot4.htm">lineplot4<br><img src="lineplot4.gif"></a>
<br>
This example uses <b>proc lineplot</b> with <b>instancemode</b>
and <b>accum</b> options,
to count occurrances over time. Occurrances having the same date
are summed into one data point (using <b>groupmode</b>).
This allows display of event data without having to tabulate first.
The data must be presented in chronological order.
<h1><br><br>Example 6</h1>
<br><a href="lineplot5.htm">lineplot5<br><img src="lineplot5.gif"></a>
<br>
A lineplot with symbols marking the points.
Use the <b>pointsymbol</b> attribute.
Note that the points where lines meet is denoted by a special symbol,
using the <b>altsym</b> and <b>altwhen</b> options.
<h1><br><br>Example 7</h1>
<br><a href="lineplot6.htm">lineplot6<br><img src="lineplot6.gif"></a>
<br>
Characters within the point symbols.
The characters comes from a data field.
Use the <b>pointsymbol</b> and <b>pointlabelfield</b> attributes.
<h1><br><br>Example 8</h1>
<br><a href="lineplot7.htm">lineplot6<br><img src="lineplot7.gif"></a>
<br>
Y value shown at selected points. Use <b>numbers</b> option, and
the <b>pointlabelrange</b> attribute to control the range where
the labels will appear.
<a name=lpfilled></a>
<h1><br><br> Example 9</h1>
<br><a href="lpfilled1.htm">lpfilled1<br><img src="lpfilled1.gif"></a>
<br>
In this example, <b>proc lineplot</b> is invoked twice, first to do
the filled area using the <b>fill</b> option, and then again to do
the red line. The Y axis grid is done last so that it is on top
of everything else.
<h1><br><br> Example 10</h1>
<br><a href="lpfilled2.htm">lpfilled2<br><img src="lpfilled2.gif"></a>
<br>
Same as above, with a portion of the area highlighted.
<b>proc lineplot</b> is invoked three times, first to do
the filled area using the <b>fill</b> option,
second to do the highlight area,
and third to do the red line.
The Y axis grid is done last.
<h1><br><br> Example 11</h1>
<br><a href="lpfilled3.htm">lpfilled3<br><img src="lpfilled3.gif"></a>
<br>
Another example with more data points.
<h1><br><br>Example 12</h1>
<br><a href="td.htm">td<br><img src="td.gif"></a>
<br>
Here, two lineplots with points denoted by geometric symbols
are plotted along with three curves with filled area underneath.
<h1><br><br>Example 13</h1>
<br><a href="accrual.htm">accrual<br><img src="accrual.gif"></a>
<br>
In this example, ploticus accumulates individual values to
produce cumulative lines. This example also illustrates
using drawcommands to draw the straight goal lines.
