# plstripc(3plplot)

Create a 4-pen strip chart

## NAME

**plstripc** - Create a 4-pen strip chart

## SYNOPSIS

**plstripc**(*id*, *xspec*, *yspec*, *xmin*, *xmax*, *xjump*, *ymin*, *ymax*, *xlpos*, *ylpos*, *y\_ascl*, *acc*, *colbox*, *collab*, *colline*, *styline*, *legline\[\]*, *labx*, *laby*, *labtop*)

## DESCRIPTION

Create a 4-pen strip chart, to be used afterwards by [**plstripa**(3plplot)](/plstripa/3plplot.md)

Redacted form: General: **plstripc(id, xspec, yspec, xmin, xmax, xjump, ymin, ymax, xlpos, ylpos, y\_ascl, acc, colbox, collab, colline, styline, legline, labx, laby, labz)**

This function is used in example 17.

## ARGUMENTS

- *id* (**PLINT\_NC\_SCALAR**(3plplot), output)

  Returned value of the identification number of the strip chart to use on [**plstripa**(3plplot)](/plstripa/3plplot.md) and [**plstripd**(3plplot)](/plstripd/3plplot.md).

- *xspec* (**PLCHAR\_VECTOR**(3plplot), input)

  An ascii character string containing the x-axis specification as in [**plbox**(3plplot)](/plbox/3plplot.md).

- *yspec* (**PLCHAR\_VECTOR**(3plplot), input)

  An ascii character string containing the y-axis specification as in [**plbox**(3plplot)](/plbox/3plplot.md).

- *xmin* (**PLFLT**(3plplot), input)

  Initial coordinates of plot box; they will change as data are added.

- *xmax* (**PLFLT**(3plplot), input)

  Initial coordinates of plot box; they will change as data are added.

- *xjump* (**PLFLT**(3plplot), input)

  When x attains *xmax*, the length of the plot is multiplied by the factor (1 + *xjump*) .

- *ymin* (**PLFLT**(3plplot), input)

  Initial coordinates of plot box; they will change as data are added.

- *ymax* (**PLFLT**(3plplot), input)

  Initial coordinates of plot box; they will change as data are added.

- *xlpos* (**PLFLT**(3plplot), input)

  X legend box position (range from 0 to 1).

- *ylpos* (**PLFLT**(3plplot), input)

  Y legend box position (range from 0 to 1).

- *y\_ascl* (**PLBOOL**(3plplot), input)

  Autoscale y between x jumps if *y\_ascl* is true, otherwise not.

- *acc* (**PLBOOL**(3plplot), input)

  Accumulate strip plot if *acc* is true, otherwise slide display.

- *colbox* (**PLINT**(3plplot), input)

  Plot box color index (cmap0).

- *collab* (**PLINT**(3plplot), input)

  Legend color index (cmap0).

- *colline* (**PLINT\_VECTOR**(3plplot), input)

  A vector containing the cmap0 color indices for the 4 pens.

- *styline* (**PLINT\_VECTOR**(3plplot), input)

  A vector containing the line style indices for the 4 pens.

- *legline* (**PLCHAR\_MATRIX**(3plplot), input)

  A vector of UTF-8 character strings containing legends for the 4 pens.

- *labx* (**PLCHAR\_VECTOR**(3plplot), input)

  A UTF-8 character string containing the label for the x axis.

- *laby* (**PLCHAR\_VECTOR**(3plplot), input)

  A UTF-8 character string containing the label for the y axis.

- *labtop* (**PLCHAR\_VECTOR**(3plplot), input)

  A UTF-8 character string containing the plot title.
