Basics

Simple line scatter

Define x, y vectors
Invoke plot() with x, y as regular inputs



In [2]:

    
function linescatter()
    x=1:4
    y=[10, 15, 13, 17]
    plot(x, y)
end
linescatter()

Customize and add multiple traces to one plot

Multiple approaches
- Plot each trace at a time, and plot on top using plot!()
- Could also pass inputs as vectors and matrices



In [3]:

    
function multiple_scatter_traces()
    x=1:4
    y1 = [10, 15, 13, 17]
    y2 = [16, 5, 11, 9]
    y3 = [12, 9, 15, 12]
    y4 = [5, 10, 8, 12]
    plot(y1, line = (:scatter, 1), label="marker")
    plot!(y2, marker =(:circle, 4), label="line+marker")
    plot!(y3, label="line")
    plot!(y4, line = (:dash, 2), label="dash")
end
multiple_scatter_traces()









    Out[3]:

Multiple traces can also be plotted as a matrix

If the argument is a "matrix-type", then each column will map to a series, cycling through columns if there are fewer columns than series. In this sense, a vector is treated just like an "nx1 matrix".

Challenge! Make the markers work!



In [4]:

    
function multiple_scatter_traces_v2()
    x=1:4
    y1 = [10, 15, 13, 17]
    y2 = [16, 5, 11, 9]
    y3 = [12, 9, 15, 12]
    y4 = [5, 10, 8, 12]
    y = [y1, y2, y3, y4]
    plot(y, line=(2, [:solid :solid :dash :dash]))
end

Adding data labels

Pass the array of labels as series_annotations



In [5]:

    
function data_labels()
    x = 1:5
    y1 = [1, 6, 3, 6, 1]
    y2 = [4, 1, 7, 1, 4]

    plot(y1, line = (:scatter, 1), 
         series_annotations=[text("A-1", :bottom, 12, :blue, "Raleway, sans-serif"),
                             "A-2","A-3","A-4","A-5"], 
         label="Team A",
         title="Data Labels on the plot")
    plot!(y2, line = (:scatter, 1), 
         series_annotations=[text("B-1", :top, 12, :red, "Times"),
                                  "B-2","B-3","B-4","B-5"], 
         label="Team B")

How tomake it fill only to next y?
