Stat_BWOptions macro command

Print this Topic Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Macro commands may be used either in macros or by sending the commands to DPlot via dynamic data exchange (DDE). Some commands are valid only in macros (noted by Macros Only). Commands sent to DPlot via DDE must be enclosed by square brackets [     ]. Macro commands should not include the brackets.

Command parameters shown in the descriptions below are placeholders for the actual values. Command parameters are either numeric values, equations that evaluate to numbers, or character strings. Character string parameters are always bound by double quotation marks. Equations must be preceded by an equals sign (=).

The pipe symbol (|) in the command syntax indicates that a parameter is optional, and should not be included in your macro unless otherwise noted.

All indices into arrays are 1-based, e.g. Curve1=1 refers to the first curve in a plot.

A 0x prefix for numbers in the descriptions below indicates hexadecimal notation; e.g. 0x0010 = 16.

JR/Viewer indicates that the command is supported by DPlot Jr or DPlot Viewer.
JR/Viewer indicates that the command is NOT supported by DPlot Jr or DPlot Viewer.


 

[Stat_BWOptions(MedianOrMean, DrawWhiskers,
StdDevorErr, BoxLimits, WhiskerLimits,
OutlierLimits, ExtremeLimits)]

JR   Viewer

Specifies several drawing parameters for box-and-whisker plots.

MedianOrMean =
0 for a median-based plot, 1 for a mean-based plot

DrawWhiskers =
0 if whiskers should not be drawn, 1 to draw whiskers

StdDevorErr =
0 if mean-based limits are multipliers for the group standard deviation, 1 if limits are multipliers for the group standard error (group standard deviation divided by the square root of the number of samples).

BoxLimits =
Extents of the box. For median-based plots, this value should be a percentage (0-100) of the range in amplitudes for the group. For mean-based plots, a multiplier for the group standard deviation or standard error (dependent on the StdDevorErr value).

WhiskerLimits =
Extents of the whiskers. For median-based plots, this value should be a percentage (0-100) of the range in amplitudes for the group. This value is not used for median-based plots unless the stat_whisker Option value (see below) is 0. For mean-based plots, a multiplier for the group standard deviation or standard error (dependent on the StdDevorErr value).

OutlierLimits =
Limits defining outliers (distance from mean or median). For median-based plots, a multiplier for the interquartile range (box limits). For mean-based plots, a multiplier for the group standard deviation or standard error (dependent on the StdDevorErr value).

ExtremeLimits =
Limits defining extremes  (distance from mean or median). For median-based plots, a multiplier for the interquartile range (box limits). For mean-based plots, a multiplier for the group standard deviation or standard error (dependent on the StdDevorErr value).
