This page is a collection of all of the ploticus
prefab
examples.
These examples all use
the chron prefab.
All of these examples are included in the distribution (./pltestsuite/testpf_chron).
chron example 1 - dates
pl -prefab chron data=data14 x=1 y=2 datefmt=yy/mm/dd xinc="1 month" \\
stubfmt=M xyears=yyyy yrange="0 25" barwidth=line color=red \\
title="# hits per day" omitweekends=yes
The data14 file:
00/12/21 1
00/12/22 1
00/12/23 2
00/12/27 1
chron example 2 - dates - tabulated by week
pl -prefab chron data=data14 x=1 y=2 datefmt=yy/mm/dd xinc="1 month" \\
stubfmt=M xyears=yyyy color=green tab=week title="# hits per week"
chron example 3 - dates - tabulated by week
pl -prefab chron data=data19 x=2 y=1 datefmt=mmddyy xinc="1 month" \\
stubfmt=M xyears=yyyy color=green tab=week include2=annot \\
title="# website visitors per week" rectangle="1 1 4 2.5" ygrid=yes \\
mode=line step=yes fill=red
The data19 file:
18 071301
16 071401
15 071501
34 071601
In the above example, notice that rectangle (new in 2.02) was used to set a smaller
size, and a file containing script code for the annotation is included.
chron example 4 - dates - tabulated by month
pl -prefab chron data=data14 x=1 y=2 datefmt=yy/mm/dd xinc="1 month" \\
stubfmt=M xyears=yyyy color=powderblue tab=month tabmode=first \\

01/09/05 09:43:40
01/09/05 13:15:00
01/09/05 13:15:11
Note that a file such as this (data13) could also be used, and timefld
would not need to specified:
01/09/05.09:43:35
01/09/05.09:43:40
01/09/05.13:15:00
01/09/05.13:15:11

07:47:52
07:47:54
chron example 7 - hourly temperature readings plotted for one week
pl -prefab chron data=data22 header=yes x=1 y=2 datefmt=mm/dd/yyyy \\
xinc="1 day" mode=line unittype=datetime title="temperatures this week"
The data22 file has data for one week and begins like this:
datetime temp
12/08/2002.00:00 22
12/08/2002.06:00 24
12/08/2002.12:00 31
12/10/2002.00:00 30
chron example 8 - multiple curves
pl -prefab chron data=data24 header=yes unittype=datetime mode=line\\
datefmt=mm/dd/yyyy x=dt y=airtemp y2=soiltemp y3=watertemp \\
xinc="1 day" legendfmt=singleline
The data24 file looks like this:
dt airtemp soiltemp watertemp
12/08/2002.06:00 24 27 16
12/09/2002.00:00 25 27 16
12/10/2002.00:00 30 27 15
12/11/2002.00:00 32 32 15
12/12/2002.00:00 40 37 16
12/13/2002.00:00 19 27 15
12/14/2002.00:00 14 18 13
In version 2.20 the ability to render multiple curves or bar sets was introduced.
This can be done so long as tabulation is not being performed.
These examples use
the cumufrac prefab
and are included in the distribution (./pltestsuite/testpf_cumufrac).
cumufrac example 1
pl -prefab cumufrac data=cumufrac.dat header=yes x=1 name="set 1" \\
x2=2 name2="set 2" title="Cumulative fraction plot"
The cumufrac.dat file looks like this:
set1 set2
1.26 2.37
0.34 2.16
0.70 14.82
1.75 1.73
50.57 41.04
cumufrac example 2
pl -prefab cumufrac data=cumufrac.dat header=yes logmode=log x=1 x2=2 \\
title="Cumulative fraction plot w/ log scale" \\
linedet="color=blue width=1.5" \\
linedet2="color=orange width=1.5 style=2 dashscale=3"
These examples all use
the dist prefab.
All of these examples are included in the distribution (./pltestsuite/testpf_dist).

These examples use the
heatmap prefab
and are included in the distribution (./pltestsuite/testpf_heatmap).
heatmap example 1
pl -prefab heatmap data=curve1.dat y=1 x=2
The curve1.dat file looks like this:
331 75
331.624 83.5518
332.105 88.7758
332.492 91.8638
The heatmap prefab's basic mode is to count instances. Here, the bin sizes
in x and y are automatically determined, as is the breakdown for color coding.
Default color scheme is used.
These can all be given explicitly if desired.
In this example, both X and Y are numeric.
heatmap example 2
pl -prefab heatmap data=snpmap.dat header=yes y=1 x=2 ycats=yes xbinsize=5 \\
colorlist=white,limegreen,green,teal,blue,purple,black
Counting instances again. In this example X is categorical and Y is numeric, and
a user-supplied x binsize and color scheme was used. Y bin size and color breakdown
are automatically determined.
heatmap example 3
pl -prefab heatmap data=data26 x=1 xcats=yes y=2 ycats=yes contentfield=3 \\
outline="color=black width=5"
The data26 file looks like this:
CL PNG 44
CL SVG 38
CL SWF 26
CL PS 54
CGI PNG 37
In this example, instead of counting instances, a predetermined value (contentfield=3) is used
to set cell color. Both X and Y are categorical. The cells are separated by thicker
black lines.
heatmap example 4
pl -prefab heatmap data=data26 x=1 xcats=yes y=2 ycats=yes contentfield=3 \\
symbol="shape=circle radius=0.1" legendsep=0.2 zerocolor=white
Same as example 3 but circles are used for cells, and background is white.
These examples all use
the lines prefab.
All examples are included in the distribution (./pltestsuite/testpf_lines).
lines example 1

The data20 file:
1031 20.96 6.4

1033 19.98 5.9
lines example 5
pl -prefab lines data=data20 x=1 y=2 fill=redorange pointsym=none \\
y2=2 pointsym2=none
In this example the same data field was given twice, first to do the filled
area, and again to do the blue line.
lines example 6
pl -prefab lines data=data20 x=1 y=2 gapmissing=yes
lines example 7
pl -prefab lines data=data20 x=1 y=2 fill=tan1 pointsym=none \\
