- GraphX, by D. Beauchamp
- Version ß0.1
- Jan 1994
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Welcome to GraphX, the data plotting utility for OS/2! GraphX is intended to
- produce scattergrams or histograms with the posibility to choice between point
- styles, line styles, etc.
-
- I developed this program to make it easier to display scientific-like graphics
- on the PM. To use it, you must give it the data file name and some options.
-
- e.g.: graphx datafile.dat [option1 value1 option2 value2 ...]
-
- The data file must be an ASCII file with X and Y values given in two (2)
- columns.
-
- GraphX is not very well protected against misused like 0 on logarithmic scale,
- or data going outside the frame. I wrote it with the idea that it should
- only be the kernel of a graphic package. It can be use alone but the user
- has to be aware of not giving it forbidden commands.
-
- History:
- --------
-
- o First release on 94/1/30 on ftp.cdrom.com
-
-
- Options available:
- ------------------
-
- [graph options]
-
- ulGrType: GT_SCATTER | GT_HISTO (def.=GT_SCATTER)
-
- [line options]
-
- ulLnType: LT_NONE | LT_FULL (def.=LT_NONE)
-
- [point options]
-
- ulPtType: PT_DOT | PT_CIRCLE | PT_BOX | PT_PLUS | PT_PLUS (def.=PT_BOX)
-
- [label options]
-
- szTitle
- szXLabel
- szYLabel
-
- [frame options]
-
- xWinLeft: 0-1 (left of frame into window in %)
- xWinRight: 0-1
- yWinBottom: 0-1
- yWinTop: 0-1
- xMajor (number of major divisions in X)
- xMinor (number of minor divisions in X)
- yMajor
- yMinor
- ulXPrec (number of decimals in X labels)
- ulYPrec (number of decimals in Y labels)
-
- [world options]
-
- xMin (minimum value in X)
- xMax
- yMin
- yMax
-
- bxLog: TRUE | FALSE (log scale on X axis?) (def.=FALSE)
- byLog: TRUE | FALSE (log scale on Y axis?) (def.=FALSE)
-
-
- Examples:
- ---------
-
- graphx toto.dat szTitle "This is the Title" szXLabel "Year" szYLabel "Number"
-
- will draw a graph with data in 'toto.dat', it will be a scattergram, and the
- axis labels will be 'Year' and 'Number'.
-
- graphx sales.dat szTitle "Sales in 1993" szXLabel "Months" ulXPrec=0 byLog TRUE
- ulGrType GT_HISTO xMin 1 xMax 12 yMin 1 yMax 10000
-
- will produce an histogram with log scale on Y axis.
-
- Remarks:
- --------
-
- With scattergrams, LT_FULL will join each point, while it will fill the bars on
- histograms.
