REPRESENTATION 

graphics: REPRESENTATION


item

Items are the basic components of the plot.

Most items (e.g. the title of the plot) are drawn using only 1 primitive (in this case, text). Some items however (e.g. an error bar) are drawn using several primitives (fill area and polyline, in this case).

In the list below, no distinction is made between the primitives via which the items are plotted. You're not allowed though, to update in a single REPRESENTATION statement, attributes belonging to different primitives.

Additional information on:


fill_area_attributes

Fill area, as the name suggests, means covering a potentially large part of the plot in some way.

polyline_attributes

Polylines are lines, straight or curved, closed or not.

Polylines can be coloured (POLYLINE-COLOUR), can be thick or thin (LINEWIDTH-SCALE-FACTOR) and can be dashed, dotted, dash-dotted etc. (LINETYPE).

polymarker_attributes

Polymarkers are things like small circles or stars that are used to indicate a point or a series of points without drawing a line between them.

Additional information on:

 

text_attributes

The text attributes you may modify are the font, quality, character spacing, character horizontal vs vertical distortion, character height and colour attributes.
