Chartpack

Create a new Chartpack object for plotting databank fields

Syntax

ch = Chartpack()

Output Arguments

ch [ Chartpack ]

New empty Chartpack object

Customizable properties

After creating a new Chartpack object, set the following properties to customize the way the charts are produced and styled:

Customize visual aspects of individual charts

PlotFunc=@plot [ @plot ]

Plot function used to create each of the charts.

Highlight=[] [ Dater | cell | empty ]

Date range, or a cell array of date ranges, that will be highlighted in each chart.

Customize data plotted

Range=Inf [ Dater | Inf ]

Date range or horizontal axis range on which the charts will be created. Range=Inf means each chart will encompass the range necessary to accommodate the entire time series plotted.

Round=Inf [ numeric ]

Round the data to this number of decimal places before plotting them.

Transform=[] [ function | empty ]

Function that will be applied to each data input before it gets plotted, except input data entered with a "^" at the beginning of their expression string.

Customize chart captions

Autocaption=false [ true | false ]

If chart caption is missing, use the time series comments to create the captions.

Newline="//" [ string ]

Separator between lines in the captions of the charts.

ShowFormulas=false [ true | false ]

Add formulas from the input strings to the chart captions; the formula is always used for the chart caption whenever the caption is not supplied in the input string and the time series does not have a non-empty comment (or Autocaption=false).

ShowTransform=false [ true | false ]

Add the Transform function to the chart captions.

Customize figure windows

Tiles=@auto [ numeric | @auto ]

Number of rows and columns of tiles within one figure window. Two special cases are allowed for this setting:

• Tiles=@auto - the layout will be determined optimally based on the total number of charts (respecting the option MaxTilesPerWindow).

• Tiles=[Inf, numColumns] - the layout will be determined automatically based on the total number of charts within a figure (respecting MaxTilesPerWindow) with the number of columns being numColumns.

MaxTilesPerWindow=40 [ numeric ]

Maximum number of tiles (charts) in each figure window.

ShowFigure=Inf [ numeric ]

After drawing all figures, switch to this one to be shown on top; ShowFigure=Inf means the last figure window plotted.

Customize graphics objects

FigureSettings={} [ cell ]

Cell array of settings passed to the standard Matlab figure constructor.

AxesSettings={} [ cell ]

Cell array of settings passed to the standard Matlab axes constructor.

PlotSettings={} [ cell ]

Cell array of settings passed to the plot functions as extra input arguments at the end.

TitleSettings={} [ cell ]

Cell array of settings passed to the title constructor as extra input arguments at the end.
