Proc Getdata
============
The following is an alphabetical list of the Getdata parameters.
Given are: the parameter name; the parameter data type; a default
value if any; and a description. Especially important parameters
have a "**" in the right margin.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Append: {y,n} : n
Allows new data will be put "below" existing data.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Datafile: token (M) : **
Data file name
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Data: text : **
The following lines contain data.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Join: {y,n} : n
Allows new data to be put "beside" existing data.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Percents: dfield (list20) :
Convert the specified fields from N to percentages of column
total.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Selectfields: token (list20) : all
Select only these fields from input.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Startline: number : 1
This allows only a portion of the rows of data in a file to be
read into IPL. This specifies the line to start with (first line
is line 1). See also Stopline.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Stopline: number : 9999
Stop reading after this line is read. (See Startline)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# This Proc must be used before doing any plotting. Data can be
# read from a file (Datafile) or contained within the Data
# parameter. A few data manipulation functions are included,
# but the intent is for most of this kind of thing to be done
# using Unix utilites.
#
# BUGS: It would be nice to be able to do percents based on the
# row total.

Proc Lineplot
=============
The following is an alphabetical list of the Lineplot parameters.
Given are: the parameter name; the parameter data type; a default
value if any; and a description. Especially important parameters
have a "**" in the right margin.
Accum: {y,n} : n
Allows accumulation of yalues of y, for cumulative curves.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Label: text :
This allows one line of text to be placed at the end of
(each) curve, for identification. Use one line of text per
curve.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Label.size: charsize : 8
Char size for line identifier (see Label).
------------------------------------------------------------------
Linetype: 0 to 8 (list8) : 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Line dash type. See the legend example for a display of
available line types. Specify one value for each curve.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Linetype.magnify: 0 to 10 (list8) : 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3
Line dash magnification factor. Increasing this number will
make each segment of the dash pattern longer. Specify one
value per curve.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Linethick: 0 to 10 (list8) : 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
Line thickness. Increasing this value will make the line
thicker. Specify one value per curve.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Mark: list :
It is possible to overlay point markers for each data point.
Specify them here, one per curve.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Mark.size: charsize : 7

effect. Distance of numbers (+) above or (-)below line, in
inches.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Shade: color (list8) :
It is possible to shade the area below the curve. This will
happen when a shade is specified here. There should be one
shade given for each line.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Stairstep: {y,n} : n
Causes lines to form steps rather than diagonals, like square
waves. Note: shading and marking don't work when this is on.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Stairstep.bars: {y,n} : n
This is used when superimposing a stairstep line plot over a
bargraph. It has the effect of moving the line plot over a
half unit.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Xfield: dfield : **
This should contain the data field containing the X component
of the line. Note that although multiple curves can be generated,
only one set of X components is used. This parameter can be
omitted, causing X to default to ordinal (X=0, X=1, X=2..).
------------------------------------------------------------------
Xstart.0or1: {0,1} : 0
If X is defaulting to ordinal (see Xfield) this parameter
adjusts the starting point (either 0 or 1).
------------------------------------------------------------------
Yfield: dfield (list8) (M) : **
This should contain the data field where the Y component can
be found. One should be given for each curve.

This sets up a list of thresholds for determining shading break-
down when doing a state distribution. They should be in increasing
order. For example, "1 10 20 30 40 50" will set up 6 categories
(1-9, 10-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, >50) and produce states with 6
different shades based on the value totals associated with each
state.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Valfield: dfield :
This allows specification of a field in the data containing values
which will be added up. If not specified, each record will add
one to its state's total.

#
Nicetab - Table nice-i-fier. Takes a table made of ordinary text
(such as program output or something composed in a text editor),
centers it, sets it up in a nice font, and allows certain special
effects. Shaded blocks can be added for emphasis or to improve
readability. To do this, embed some of the special operators below
into the source table text:
@shadeblocks-on start shading blocks of 3 lines
@shadeblocks-off stop
@shade-on start shading until turned off
@shade-off turns the above off
Nicetab uses several rules to do the conversion:
[] The title, which is handled separately, should be separated from
the table body (rest of the table) by two or more blank lines.
[] A series of tokens separated by ONE space are handled as one unit
and is called a phrase; watch out for two-space gaps (e.g. at the
beginning of a new sentence)-- these may cause undesired results.
[] The first phrase on a line is left justified; after that, numbers
are right-justified. Character strings are left-justified, except
in the first few lines of the table body, where they are presumed to
be header stubs, and centered.
[] Nicetab places phrases by scaling their row/column position to the
x/y graphics area, so it will tend to expand smaller tables and
compress larger ones. You may want to adjust title.size and body.size
if things don't look right.

Given are: the parameter name; the parameter data type; a default
value if any; and a description. Especially important parameters
have a "**" in the right margin.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Field: dfield (list8) : **
This specifies the data field which should contain the values
to be plotted. If doing stacked or clustered bars, one field
for every sub-bar should be given.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Format: {single,cluster,stack} : single
Selects either single bars, clusters, or bars stacked up.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Idfield: dfield (list8) :
It is possible for an identifier to come from the data. This
indicates the field where that identifier can be found. Again,
if doing stacked or clustered bars, one field for every sub-bar
should be given.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Idfield.size: charsize : 6
Char size of labels.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Idfield.position: -1 to 1 : 0.02
Distance of label above (or below) top of bar (inches).
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Killwild: number :
If a data value greater than this is found, abort. Typically
used for low N on percentage distributions.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Outlinebars: {y,n} : y
Allows bars to be outlined.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Segment: {y,n} : n
Style parameter causing bars to be segmented by white lines.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Separation: 0 to 1 : 0.20
This controls the distance between bars.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Separation.sub: 0 to 1 : 0.03
Distance between sub-bars in cluster.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Shade: color (list8) : .2 .5 .8 1 0
A shade for each bar (sub-bar).
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Ystart.0or1: {0,1} : 1
Start bars at Y=0 or Y=1. Almost always, bars work better when
started at Y=1.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Yfield: dfield :
Y position of bars (optional).
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Zeroat: number :
Bars point left at values less than this (usually 0)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
#
# Vbargraph - for producing single, clustered or stacked bar graphs.
# Exactly the same as Bargraph except that bars grow from left to right.
# Format parameter can be used to select which type of bargraph. If
# clustered or stacked, data for each sub-bar must come from a different
# field. The Field parameter should contain the field or fields in the
# order that they are to appear, from left to right. Each line of data
# produces one major bar (a bar or set of sub-bars).
#
# Unless Yfield is specified, bars will be drawn starting at the bottom
# and moving to the top, one per data unit. For example, if the Y axis
# is scaled from 0 to 10, 9 bars will be produced at Y=1 through Y=9,
# assuming there are 9 or more lines of data. Ystart.0or1 can be set
# to 0 to have the bars start at 0 instead of 1.
#
# If Yfield is specified, that field will be used as the Y location of
# the center of the bar or sub-bars.
#
# The Killwild parameter can be used to abort the bar graph if any
# values exceed it.
#
# The Zeroat parameter can be used to determine a point in X at which
# becomes the effective origin for the bars, meaning that any values
# less than the Zeroat value will produce leftward bars.
#
# Bars can be outlined (using Outlinebars), shaded (using Shade), or
# labeled# (using Idfield). Shading and labeling require one value for
# each sub-bar, if doing clustered or stacked bars. Labeling is done
# by specifying field(s) from the data.
#
# Note that the Percents option can be set in Proc Getdata to transform
# your data into percentages for percentage distributions.
#
# Bugs: It should be possible to specify bar labels literally.

Proc Vrangebar
==============
The following is an alphabetical list of the Vrangebar parameters.
Given are: the parameter name; the parameter data type; a default
value if any; and a description. Especially important parameters
have a "**" in the right margin.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Ends: {y,n} : y
Allows little cross-bars to be drawn on ends.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Field: dfield (list5) (M) :
Fields in the data containing values. The number is
determined by Nval.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Idfield: dfield :
It is possible to label bars with text. Label comes
from this field, if specified.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Label.size: charsize : 6
Size of the label in points.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Label.position: number : 1
Position for N=.. label in Y data units.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Linethick: 0 to 5 : 1
Thickness of boxplot outline.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Midlinewidth: number : 0
The median line is generally the same size as the width of
the bar, however, by changing this parameter it can be made
to protrude.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Midlineright: {y,n} : n
Allows median line to protrude in one direction only.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Nval: 1 to 5 : 5
Number of values making up the box. See the Vrangebar
example.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Shade: color : 1.0
Shade for inside of bar.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Width: number : 0.3
Width of bar, in data units.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Yfield: dfield :
Allows placement of bars in Y. It is optional-- if not
given, Y placement is done ordinally (Y=1, Y=2, Y=3..).
----------------------------------------------------------------
