Reference 〉 Function

TimeSeries.addPlot(namestr, labelstr, positionintNone, selectedboolTrue, logscaleboolFalse, stackboolFalse)

Registers a plot area in the TimeSeries plot area to which data series can be added.

Parameters

  • name str, required

    A unique slug-type string used to refer to the plot in other functions.

  • label str, required

    The name of the plot displayed in the control panel.

  • position int, optional

    The position in which to insert the plot in the control panel list. By default the plot is appended to the end of the list. NOTE: Position is calculated as of the function call. If two plots are called with position 3 for example, the second will push the first to position 4.

    Default value: None

  • selected bool, optional

    Whether the plot should be selected by default when the control panel launches.

    Default value: True

  • logscale bool, optional

    If true, displays the plot on a logarithmic scale by default, otherwise linear. NOTE: plots can be toggled between logarithmic and linear scales regardless of the value of this parameter by pressing the 'L' key on a plot.

    Default value: False

  • stack bool, optional

    If set to True, the plot will be drawn as a stackplot rather than a line chart.

    Default value: False

Return Value Plot

The newly created TimeSeriesPlot object.

    This code adds five plots, four of them with logarithmic scales, and has all but one of them selected by default.

    from helipad.visualize import TimeSeries
    viz = heli.useVisual(TimeSeries)
    
    viz.addPlot('pop', 'Population', 1, logscale=True)
    viz.addPlot('hcap', 'Human Capital', 2, logscale=True)
    viz.addPlot('wage', 'Wage', 3)
    viz.addPlot('wealth', 'Wealth', 4, logscale=True, selected=False)
    viz.addPlot('rates', 'Rates', 5, logscale=True)

    This results in the following in the control panel (Demand, Shortages, and Utility are default plots). Note that series must be added to these plots separately.
