plotCustomLayout

Purpose

Plots a graph of user-specified size at a user-specified location.

Format

plotCustomLayout(x_start, y_start, width, height)
Parameters:
  • x_start (scalar) – the distance from the left edge of the canvas to the left edge of the custom plot expressed as a number between 0 and 1.

  • y_start (scalar) – the distance from the bottom edge of the canvas to the bottom edge of the custom plot expressed as a number between 0 and 1.

  • width (scalar) – the width of the custom plot expressed as a number between 0 and 1.

  • height (scalar) – the height of the custom plot expressed as a number between 0 and 1.

Examples

// Create an additive sequence starting from -pi and moving
// forward in 0.1 increments
x = seqa(-pi, 0.1, 63);

// Plot the cosine of x
plotXY(x, cos(x));

// Create a custom section for the next graph starting 10%
// from the main graph's left edge, 10% from the bottom of
// the main graph, with a width and height both equaling
// 30% of the width of the main graph.
plotCustomLayout(0.1, 0.1, 0.3, 0.3);

// Plot the next graph in the custom layout
plotXY(x[1:20], cos(x[1:20]));

// Prevent the next graph from being drawn in this custom
// region
plotClearLayout();

Remarks

After calling this function all subsequent graphs will be plotted inside of the specified custom layout until the layout is reset with plotLayout(), or the layout is cleared with plotClearLayout().
