Plot Manipulation

addbutton Adds a button with some functionality to the plot menu.

adddata Adds graphics to already plotted ones.

axesoff All plots created afterwards have invisible axes.

axeson All plots created afterwards have visible axes.

contour2 contour2 computes lines and points for a contourplot of a three dimensional dataset at level c
contour3 contour3 computes lines and points for a contourplot of a four dimensional dataset at level c
createcolor createcolor allocates the colors for user

createdisplay createdisplay create a display for further plotting the datasets or texts.

deletedata deletedata removes a dataset from already plotted ones.

displaytype Returns the number of graphical objects in a display.

freecolor freecolor deallocates the colors that were allocated by user or by system.

getgopt getgopt gets the layout of a plot. It is usually used to copy some of all layout components from one plot to another one.

print print a display or a datapart of it.

setfractions changes proportions of parts of display

setgopt setgopt controls the layout of a display. First create and show the display. Then call setgopt to change its headline, axes labels and limits, etc.. There are two versions of setgopt: one, where you explicitly specify the desired display options and one, where you get the display options from another display via getgopt.

setheadline setheadline changes the head line of plot.

setmaskl Use setmaskl to connect datapoints by lines. setmaskl has to preceed show. That is, first you call setmaskl to specify which points to connect and the layout of the line(s). Then you use the command show to plot the datapoints and the line(s) that connect them..

setmaskp Use setmaskp to control the color, the graphical representation (symbol) and the size of each point of a datamatrix you want to plot. setmaskp has to preceed show. That is, first you call setmaskp to specify colour, graphical representation and size of the data you want to plot. Then you call show to actually plot the data.

setmaskt use setmaskt to assign labels to the points of a dataset. setmaskt has to preceed show. That is, first you call setmaskt to assign labels to the datapoints. Then you call show to plot the labeled data.

setmode setmode sets the mouse mode of a plot.
0=ZOOM and INDEX
1=BRUSH
2=defines your own actions using readevent

setsize setsize sets the size for all the plots created later

setxaxis setxaxis changes the layout of the horizontal axis.

setyaxis setyaxis changes the layout of the vertical axis.

show show is used to put graphical objects (such as a datamatrix) into a display. Before you call show you have to create a display using the command createdisplay.
