plotSetNewWindow¶

Purpose¶

Determines whether each new graph is drawn in a new graph tab or re-uses a pre-existing graph tab.

Format¶

plotSetNewWindow(&myPlot, new_window)¶

Parameters

&myPlot (struct pointer) – A plotControl structure pointer.
new_window (scalar) – 1 to create a new graph tab or 0 to re-use.

Examples¶

// Declare plotControl structure
struct plotControl myPlot;

// Initialize plotControl structure
myPlot = plotGetDefaults("xy");

// Set graph to create a new graph tab
new_window = 1;
plotSetNewWindow(&myPlot, new_window);

// Create data
x = seqa(0.1, 1, 50);
y = sin(x)~cos(x);

// Plot the data in a new graph tab window
plotXY(myPlot, x, y);

Remarks¶

To open a new graph window once, use plotOpenWindow().

Note

This function sets an attribute in a plotControl structure. It does not affect an existing graph, or a new graph drawn using the default settings that are accessible from the Tools > Preferences > Graphics menu.
