Gallery - Table-based graphs


Welcome     Gallery     Handbook


Manual page for Gallery_-_Table-based_graphs(PL)

This page contains examples of table-based graphs, illustrating the available varieties and options. These are an array of graphs that are tied to entries in a table or list. These lists can overflow onto an unlimited number of pages. These examples all use the pltab program to take a plain ascii table (perhaps produced by a program or by hand) and create presentable results. pltab is most apt for producing paper reports; thus most of these examples look best in PostScript.


Example 1

caselist.tab

A multi-page example where many cases are shown. For each case, a lineplot shows a level that changes over time. The table layout is defined in caselist.tab; the plotting is done by the ploticus script caselist.p which is executed once per page.


Example 2

timewin.tab

Another multi-page example where the time windows for a number of patient follow-up visits according to a clinical trials protocol are shown. Date data is plotted directly. The table layout is defined in timewin.tab; the plotting is done by the ploticus script timewin.p which is executed once per page.
