<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
<b>proc rangesweep</b> draws a moving range.<tt> </tt>
The plot is drawn beginning with first data record, working to the last one.<tt> </tt>

<h2>EXAMPLES</h2>
See the Gallery Rangesweep page
<a href="../gallery/gall.rangesweep.html"><img src="../gallery/btn/here.gif"></a>

<h2>UNPLOTTABLE DATA</h2>
Invalid values are skipped;
the rangesweep will be drawn to connect only the points corresponding to plottable
values.  Points lying outside of the plotting area are displayed if possible.<tt> </tt>
 

<h2>PREREQUISITES</h2>
A plotting area must be set up using <b>proc areadef</b> 
and <b>proc getdata</b> must be executed to 
access or define some data.<tt> </tt>
The data must be ordered in X.<tt> </tt>

<h2>MODES</h2>
This proc can operate in one of these modes:
<p>
<b>Y only (points "where they fall"):</b>
<dl>
<dt><dd><p>
By not specifying <tt>xfield</tt>, range values are shown
at consecutive unit locations in X.<tt> </tt>
</dl>
<p>
<b>X, Y:</b>
<dl>
<dt><dd><p>
By specifying <tt>xfield</tt> as well as <tt>lofield</tt> and <tt>hifield</tt>, 
range values are shown at given X, Y locations in the data.<tt> </tt>

</dl>
<h2>MANDATORY ATTRIBUTE</h2>
The <tt>lofield</tt> and <tt>hifield</tt> attributes MUST be specified.<tt> </tt>

<h2>ATTRIBUTES</h2>
<p>
<b>lofield</b> 
<a href="attributetypes.html#dfield">
<i> dfield </i>
</a>
<dl>
<dt><dd><p>
Data field to use for low end of range.<tt> </tt>
Example: <tt>lofield: 1</tt>

</dl>
<p>
<b>hifield</b> 
<a href="attributetypes.html#dfield">
<i> dfield </i>
</a>
<dl>
<dt><dd><p>
Data field to use for high end of range.<tt> </tt>
Example: <tt>hifield: 2</tt>

</dl>
<p>
<b>xfield</b> 
<a href="attributetypes.html#dfield">
<i> dfield </i>
</a>
<dl>
<dt><dd><p>
Data field to use for X values.<tt> </tt>
If not specified, sequential unit locations in X will be used.<tt> </tt>
Example: <tt>xfield: 1</tt>

</dl>
<p>
<b>color</b> 
<a href="color.html">
<i> color </i>
</a>
<dl>
<dt><dd><p>
Color of the range sweep.<tt> </tt>
Example: <tt>color: powderblue</tt>

</dl>
<p>
<b>legendlabel</b> 
<a href="attributetypes.html#text">
<i> text </i>
</a>
<dl>
<dt><dd><p>
A label to be associated with the current range sweep in the legend.<tt> </tt>
<b>proc legend</b> must be executed later in order to
render the legend.<tt> </tt>
<br>
Example: <tt>legendlabel: Group A</tt>

</dl>
<p>
<b>sweeprange</b> <i>xlo</i> [<i>xhi</i>]
<dl>
<dt><dd><p>
If specified, range will be rendered only at x values falling between 
<i>xlo</i> and <i>xhi</i>.  <i>xlo</i> and <i>xhi</i> must be plottable 
values in X.  If <i>xhi</i> is not given then this will control
only the lower bound.<tt> </tt>
<br>
Example: <tt>sweeprange: 5 24</tt>

</dl>
<p>
<b>xstart</b>  
<a href="attributetypes.html#plotvalue">
<i> plotvalue </i>
</a>
<dl>
<dt><dd><p>
If specified, and if using sequential locations in x (<tt>xfield</tt> not
specified), determines where in X the range will start.<tt> </tt>

</dl>
<p>
<b>select</b>  
<a href="condex.html">
<i> conditional-expression </i>
</a>
<dl>
<dt><dd><p>
If specified, the <i>select-expression</i> will be used to determine
whether or not to plot a given row of data.<tt> </tt>
<br>
Example: <tt>select: @7 &gt;= @9</tt>
