ACTION = _CHAR (Read)
-
The mode of PLOTHIST as described above:
- "H" - If the data in the XCOL data area are
not binned, they
can be binned and then plotted. It is possible to plot
several histograms with different bin sizes from the same data
in XCOL because the data are unaffected by PLOTHIST.
- "B" - If the data have already been binned, this mode will
plot a histogram using the XCOL and YCOL data areas. The YCOL data area should specify the bin edges and the YCOL data area
should contain their respective frequencies.
[The value is prompted for.]
-
BINMIN = _REAL (Read and Write)
-
When ACTION is "H", this parameter specifies the lower limit
of the binning.
If no value is specified on the command line, the current
value is used. If there is no current value, the value of the
global parameter PONGO_XMIN is used.
-
BINMAX = _REAL (Read and Write)
-
When ACTION is "H", this parameter specifies the upper limit of
the binning.
If no value is specified on the command line, the current
value is used. If there is no current value, the value of the
global parameter PONGO_XMAX.
-
FILL = _LOGICAL (Read)
-
When ACTION is "H" this parameter controls whether the
histogram will be drawn filled with the current fill, colour
and hatching styles.
[FALSE]
-
NBIN = _INTEGER (Read and Write)
-
When ACTION is "H", this parameter specifies the number of
equally sized bins to be drawn between the limits of the
histogram.
If no value is specified on the command line, the current
value is used. The current value is initially set to 10.
-
AUTOSCALE = _LOGICAL (Read and Write)
-
When ACTION is "H" this parameter specifies whether PGPLOT
auto-scaling is used to determine the plotting limits. If
FALSE, the limits defined by the bins of the histogram
determine the plotting limits. Here, the plotting limits must
previously have been set using the LIMITS application and the
plot frame drawn using BOXFRAME. Setting NOAUTOSCALE can be
used to draw more than one histogram on the same plot.
If no value is specified on the command line, the current
value is used. The current value is initially set to TRUE.
-
CENTRE = _LOGICAL (Read)
-
When ACTION is "B", this parameter specifies whether the
values in the XCOL data area denote the centre of each bin
(when TRUE) or its lower edge (when FALSE).
[FALSE]
