Call: PLOT_LINE


coordinates

This procedure accepts as coordinates either two 1-dimensional matrices of equal length or at least two sets of (x, y) pairs. The two formats can not be mixed.

If you supply (x,y) pairs, then the arguments must be of type Number, otherwise they should be of type Matrix.

[These are mandatory arguments, no default is supplied.]


option

The option string is used to indicate which polyline representation is to be used, and also whether the line should be smoothened or not.

The following polyline representations can be used: SOLID, DASHED, DOTTED, DASH-DOTTED, FUNCTION-1, FUNCTION-2, FUNCTION-3, FUNCTION-4, FUNCTION-5, FUNCTION-6 and FUNCTION-7.

Use the REPRESENTATION graphics command to adjust the line width, the line type and the colour.

To obtain smoothened lines, add the option SMOOTH. Line smoothing is performed with cubic splines. Cubic splines tend to oscillate if there are jumps in the data points.

[Default: representation SOLID and no smoothing.]
