| Standard parameters |
|
|
Most of the standard prefab parameters may be used.
You must specify data (the name of an input data file)
(data2 is also available for producing a second distribution, see below).
The X axis formatting parameters, legend parameters, and clickmap parameters aren't available
with this prefab.
rectangle controls the left plotting area.. the right plotting
area is automatically derived from the left one. ygrid is on by default.. use
ygrid=no to turn off the grid. title will be shown centered over the first
distribution.. use title2 to label the second distribution. ptselect and
ptselect2 may be used to select different data rows for left and right side.
|
| y |
data field |
must be specified |
Data field containing data for the first distribution. |
y=2
y=pmb |
| y2 |
data field |
|
Data field containing data for the second (right panel) distribution. |
y2=4
y2=rmb |
| data2 |
filename
or
- |
|
Name of an optional second data file to get y2 from.
May be given as - to read data from standard input.
If not specified, it is assumed that both y1 and y2
are coming from the same data file (data). |
data=file1 data2=file2 y=3 y2=3 |
| title2 |
text |
|
A title to be displayed centered over the second distribution. |
"title2= Control Group" |

parameter

Examples
(ignore line wrapping) |
| dist
| centered
histo
no |
centered |
Appearance of the distribution. centered gives a beeswarm-like
display; histo gives a histogram.
| dist=histo |
| bindiv |
numeric |
5.0 |
Control the bin size, based on Y axis stub increment.
If specified, the bin size will be the stub increment divided by this value.
This can be a convenient way to control the bin size since the stub increment
is often automatically set, based on the data. |
bindiv=2 |
| binsize |
numeric |
|
Specify the bin size explicitly, for cases where the
automatically determined bin size isn't ideal. |
binsize=50 |
| distcolor |
color |
blue |
The color of the distribution histogram bars. |
distcolor=black |
| distdotspread |
numeric |
2.0 |
Distributions are made up of a series of dots; this parameter
controls how far apart (horizontally) the dots are rendered.
If you have lots of dots and they are extending
too far horizontally, reduce this value; for the opposite effect increase this value. |
distdotspread=1.5 |
| distdotshape |
circle
square
diamond
triangle |
diamond |
The shape of the individual dots. |
distdotshape=square |
| distdotsize |
inches or cm |
0.04 " |
The radius of the individual data point dots. |
distdotsize=0.025 |
| distcenter |
0 to 10 |
4 |
When doing a centered (beeswarm) display, controls the location of the center
of the display in X, using a data space ranging from 0 to 10. |
distcenter=3 |
