| datplc | Scatter the values of a data vector to one axis |
| <graphic> | name of the graphic structure |
| -n <setname> | name of the scatterplot |
| -ax <axis> | name of the axis: x, y or z |
| -f <field> | data field to be scattered |
| [-co <color>] | color for data points |
| datplc <graphic> -n <name> -rm | Remove scatterplot <name> |
To scatter data points, datplc computes the locations of <field> values related to the specified axis (set with axis, see section 7.2.7). Several data sets identified with <name> can be displayed with different colors.
Example (ex7.11): The x axis is set according to the field indus. Since the parameter <scaling> is omitted, the minimum and maximum values of the axis are located from the specified field. In other words, the default scaling function is data. The same procedure is performed for the y axis.
