    1: \label{Authoring_Dynamic_Plot_Linestyle}
    2: 
    3: Unless otherwise noted the linestyles require only 2 data sets, X and Y.
    4: 
    5: \begin{itemize}
    6: 
    7: \item \textbf{lines} Connect adjacent points with straight line segments.
    8: 
    9: \item \textbf{points} Display a small marker at each point.  
   10: 
   11: \item \textbf{linespoints} Draw both \textbf{lines} and \textbf{points}.
   12: 
   13: Draws a small symbol at each point and then connects adjacent points with 
   14: straight line segments.
   15: 
   16: \item \textbf{dots} Place a tiny dots on the given points.
   17: 
   18: \item \textbf{steps} Connect points with horizontal lines.
   19: 
   20: This style connects consecutive
   21: points with two line segments: the first from (x1,y1) to (x2,y1) and the
   22: second from (x2,y1) to (x2,y2).
   23: 
   24: \item \textbf{fsteps} Connect data with horizontal lines.
   25: 
   26: This style connects consecutive
   27: points with two line segments: the first from (x1,y1) to (x1,y2) and the
   28: second from (x1,y2) to (x2,y2).
   29: 
   30: \item \textbf{histeps} Plot as histogram.
   31: 
   32: Y-values are assumed to be centered at the x-values;
   33: the point at x1 is represented as a horizontal line from ((x0+x1)/2,y1) to
   34: ((x1+x2)/2,y1).  The lines representing the end points are extended so that
   35: the step is centered on at x.  Adjacent points are connected by a vertical
   36: line at their average x, that is, from ((x1+x2)/2,y1) to ((x1+x2)/2,y2).
   37: 
   38: \item \textbf{errorbars} Same as yerrorbars.
   39: 
   40: \item \textbf{xerrorbars} Draw horizontal error bars around the points.  
   41: 
   42: Requires 3 or 4 data sets.  Either X, Y, Xdelta or X, Y, Xlower, Xupper.
   43: Xdelta is a change relative to the given X value.  The Xlower and Xupper
   44: values are absolute grid coordinates of the upper and lower values to
   45: indicated with error bars.
   46: 
   47: \item \textbf{yerrorbars} Draw vertical error bars around the points.
   48: 
   49: Requires 3 or 4 data sets.  Either X, Y, Ydelta or X, Y, Ylower, Yupper.
   50: Ydelta is a change relative to the given Y value.  The Ylower and Yupper
   51: values are the grid coordinates of the upper and lower values to 
   52: indicate with error bars.
   53: 
   54: 
   55: \item \textbf{xyerrorbars} Draw both vertical and horizontal error bars 
   56: around the points.
   57: 
   58: Requires 4 or 6 data sets.  Either X, Y, Xdelta, Ydelta or
   59: X, Y, Xlower, Xupper, Ylower, Yupper.  Xdelta and Ydelta are relative to
   60: the given coordinates.  Xlower, Xupper, Ylower, and Yupper are the grid
   61: coordinates of the upper and lower values to indicate with the error bars.
   62: 
   63: \item \textbf{boxes} Draw a box from the X-axis to the Y-value given.  
   64: 
   65: Requires either 2 or
   66: 3 data sets.  Either X, Y or X, Y, Xwidth.  In the first case the boxes
   67: will be drawn next to eachother.  In the latter case Xwidth indicates the
   68: horizontal width of the box for the given coordinate.
   69: 
   70: \item \textbf{vector}  Draws a vector field based on the given data.
   71: 
   72: Requires 4 data sets, X, Y, Xdelta, and Ydelta.
   73: The `vector` style draws a vector from (X,Y) to (X+Xdelta,Y+Ydelta).  
   74: It also draws a small arrowhead at the end of the vector.  May not be
   75: fully supported by gnuplot.
