Hi, I would like to use labtalk to create several plots of different types in the same layer.
for example, i have a worksheet named "data1" with columns a, b, j, k, l, w, x, y, z, and i want a/b to be a line graph, j/k/l to be a scatterplot with labels, and w/x/y/z to be vector xyxy. also, a, j, w, and y are set as x columns and l is set as label.
i've tried something like this:
win -t P;
layer -i200 data1_b;
layer -i201 data_k;
layer -i218 data_z;
layer -a;
layer.unit=1;layer 80 80 10 10;
page.width=2500;page.height=2500;
all three graphs show up ok, but the labels in column l don't show up and all the arrows in the xyxy graph point to the starting point. any suggestions on these 2 problems?

Hi,
The XYXY vector plot is "special", so you will need to plot this first, creating the graph window, as follows:
worksheet -s 6 0 9 0; //select columns 6-9 in the worksheet
worksheet -p 218 vectxyxy; //plot wks selection, creating graph
You can now add the line and scatter plots to this graph. When plotting scatter, you need to also include the label column, as follows:
layer -i201 data_k data4_l;

well, what if i wanted to have 2 xyxy plots in there, along with a scatterplot and line graph? :p and also the second xyxy only has 1 vector, but i wanted it to have a different color so i put it in a different column, because it's the sum of the vectors in the first xyxy.
as a recap i have the following script:
worksheet -s 6 0 9 0; //select columns
worksheet -p 218; //create xyxy (graph1)
layer -i200 data1_b; //include line graph
layer -i201 data1_k data1_L; //include scatter
i tried all these different ways, like adding:
window -a data1; //activate worksheet
worksheet -s 10 0 13 0; //select second xyxy columns
worksheet -p 218; //create second xyxy (graph2)
window -a graph1; //activate graph1
layer -ic graph2 1; //copy graph2 plots into graph1
window -cd graph2; //delete graph2
but that only overwrites whatever's in graph1.
maybe it's not possible to use labtalk script to have 2 xyxy in the same layer? would there be a way then to make the last data point in the first xyxy have a different line color?
and maybe this should go in a different thread, but is there a way to draw circles on the graph, using labtalk? thanks :)
