| Standard parameters |
|
|
All of the standard prefab parameters may be used.
You must specify data (the name of the input data file).
|
x
x2
x3
x4 |
data field |
x must be specified |
Identifies the data field(s) that will hold X component for the
first, second, third, and fourth point sets respectively. |
x=2
x=pmb x2=pmc |
y
y2
y3
y4 |
data field |
y must be specified |
Identifies the data field(s) that will hold Y component for the
first, second, third, and fourth point sets respectively. |
y=3
y=smb y2=smc |
ptsym
ptsym2
ptsym3
ptsym4 |
circle
or
square
or
triangle
or
diamond
or
downtriangle |
|
Controls the shape of the data point symbol(s).
Note: the scat prefab uses the new direct-pixel data points whenever possible
(eg. circle is converted internally to pixcircle)
|
ptsym=square |
ptsize
ptsize2
ptsize3
ptsize4 |
inches or cm |
0.04 |
Controls the size of the data point symbol(s). |
ptsize=0.07 |
ptcolor
ptcolor2
ptcolor3
ptcolor4 |
color |
|
Controls the color of the data point symbol(s). |
ptcolor=gray(0.4) |
| ptstyle |
filled or outline |
filled |
Determines whether all data point symbols will be filled (solid color) or outline shape. |
ptstyle=outline |
The default for the 1st set of data points is filled blue circle.
The default for the 2nd set of data points is filled red square.
The default for the 3rd set of data points is filled black diamond.
The default for the 4th set of data points is filled blue triangle.
|
| cluster |
yes or no |
no |
Clustering forces duplicate (or near-duplicate) points to be visible by offsetting duplicate points slightly. |
cluster=yes |
| cats |
yes or no |
no |
If yes, indicates that X data will be processed as categories rather than continuous numerics. |
cats=yes |
| corr |
yes or no |
no |
Compute and display correlation and regression curve.
This is available for the first set of points only. |
corr=yes |
| corrcolor |
color |
green |
Color of the regression line and correlation annotation. |
corrcolor=black |
| id |
datafield |
|
A data field holding data point identifier strings.
This is available for the first set of points only. |
id=5
id=desc |
| idcolor |
color |
orange |
Color of the id labels |
idcolor=gray(0.5) |
err
err2 |
datafield |
|
If specified, this data field causes vertical error bars to be rendered for
the first (or second) set of data points. The data field should hold error amounts related
to y (or y2), such as standard deviations. |
xerr=5
xerr=sd |
xerr
xerr2 |
datafield |
|
If specified, this data field causes horizontal error bars to be rendered for
the first (or second) set of data points. The data field should hold error amounts
related to x (or x2) such as standard deviations. |
xerr=5
xerr=sd |
| errcolor |
color |
gray(0.7) |
Color for the error bars (default gray(0.7)) |
errcolor=red |
| maxinpoints |
n |
|
If doing a regression curve and there are more than 1000 data points, use this parameter to indicate the
maximum number of data points. version 2.33+ |
maxinpoints=20000 |
sizefield
sizescale
colorfield

proc scatterplot
