display_attributes visibility plot
This command allows the user to control the visibility of objects on an XY plot. These objects include notes, grid_lines, tic_marks, legend, axis_labels, and symbols. By changing the visibility of these objects, you can alter the appearance of the plot without deleting them.
Format:
display_attributes visibility plot |
|---|
plot_name = | an existing plot |
grid_lines = | on /off |
tic_marks = | on/ off |
legend = | on / off |
axis_labels = | on /off |
symbol = | on / off |
Example:
display_attributes visibility plot & |
|---|
plot_name = | plot_1 & |
grid_lines = | on & |
tic_marks = | on & |
legend = | off & |
axis_labels = | on & |
symbol = | off |
Description:
Parameter | Value Type | Description |
|---|
plot_name | An Existing Plot | A plot name is a string of characters that identifies a plot |
grid_lines | On_off | This parameter controls the visibility of the plot grid lines |
tic_marks | On_off | This parameter controls the visibility of axis tic marks |
legend | On_off | This parameter controls the visibility of the XY plot legend |
axis_labels | On_off | This parameter allows the visibility of the axis labels to be turned ON or OFF |
symbol | On_off | This parameter controls the visibility of xy_plot curve symbols |
Extended Definition:
1. Plot names are assigned when plots are created. After a plot has been created, it may be referenced by its name until it is deleted. A plot may NOT have the same name as another plot.
A plot_name may be arbitrarily long and a combination of letters of the alphabet and numbers may be used. The leading character must be a letter.
2. Grid lines are a set of vertical and horizontal lines that are extensions of the tic marks on the vertical and horizontal axes. Grid lines provide for more accurate interpretation of the data on an XY plot. ON indicates that the grid lines will be visible, OFF indicates that the grid lines will be invisible. This parameter is optional and if not entered, grid lines will be displayed on the xy_plot.
3. Tic marks are the small lines intersecting the axis. ON, the default, indicates that the tic marks will be visible; OFF indicates that the tic marks will be invisible.
4. The XY plot legend displays a label beside a key describing that curve. The label will be the Adams request statement comment, if one is found. If no request comment is found, a label is created by concatenating the data specified in the haxis_data and vaxis_data parameters that comprise that curve. The key will look like the curve with respect to color, line type, and line thickness. The plot legend is displayed at the top of the XY plot template. This parameter is optional and ON (the default) indicates that the legend will be visible, OFF indicates that the legend will be invisible.
5. For the axis_labels parameter, ON indicates that the labels are to be visible; OFF indicates that the labels are to be invisible. The vertical and horizontal axis labels are controlled by this parameter. This parameter is optional and if not entered, axis_labels will be displayed on the xy_plot.
6. Symbols are the graphic markers on a curve, identifying the data points. ON, the default, indicates that the symbols on a particular curve will be visible, OFF indicates that the symbols will be invisible.
