<H2><A NAME="8_4">8.4 Scatter plots</A></H2>
|
|
|
29 |
<P> Scatter plots are very simple; they plot a number of points
|
|
|
30 |
specified by their X- and Y-coordinate. Each point is stroked on the
|
|
|
31 |
image with a mark as with line plots. The stroked marks can also be
|
|
|
32 |
connected with an optional line.<DIV class="note"><B>Note:</B> Even
|
|
|
33 |
though it is only scatter plot that was designed to be used with X,Y
|
|
|
34 |
plots it is perfectly possible to use use both X,Y coordinates for bar
|
|
|
35 |
and line plots as well.</DIV></P>
|
|
|
36 |
<P> Even though you would normally supply X-coordinates it is still
|
|
|
37 |
perfectly possible to use a text-scale for X-coordinates to just
|
|
|
38 |
enumerate the points. This is especially useful when using the
|
|
|
39 |
"Impulse" type of scatter plot as is shown below.</P>
|
|
|
40 |
<P> Scatter pots are created by including the jpgraph extension
|
|
|
41 |
"jpgraph_scatter.php" and then creating an instance of plot type of
|
|
|
42 |
ScatterPlot(). To specify the mark you want to use you access the mark
|
|
|
43 |
with the instance variable "mark" in the scatter plot. The default is
|
|
|
44 |
to use an unfilled small circle.</P>
|
|
|
45 |
<P> To create a scatter plot you will create an instance</P>
|
|
|
46 |
<P> A simple example using just default values will illustrate this</P>

another effect as shown below<DIV class="example">

|

63 |
<P> Another possible variant of scatter plot is impulse-scatter plots.
|
|
|
64 |
This is a variant of normal scatter plot where each mark have a line
|
|
|
65 |
from the mark to the Y=0 base line. To change a scatter plot into an
|
|
|
66 |
impulse scatter plot you have to call the method <A href="../ref/ScatterPlot.html#_SCATTERPLOT_SETIMPULS">
|
|
|
67 |
SetImpuls()</A> on the scatter plot.</P>
|
|
|
68 |
<P> This type of plots are often used to illustrate signals in
|
|
|
69 |
conjunction with digital signal processing. The following two examples
|
|
|
70 |
illustrates simple use of impulse plots.<DIV class="example">

|
|
|

impulse plot<DIV class="example">

|

88 |
<P> As a final touch we show two more advanced impulse graphs . In these

89 |
graphs we have used more advanced formatting for the Y-axis labels as

|
|
90 |
well as adjusted the position of the axis position.<DIV class="example">
