addlines()

Usage:

addlines([Graph,] x,y [,linetype:PosInt,thickness:PosReal] [,impulse:T]\
   [,other graphics keyword phrases])
addlines([Graph] [,x,y], keys:str), str a structure whose
  components names match graphics keywords.

Keywords: plotting

addlines(x,y) is equivalent to lineplot(x,y,add:T).  It displays the
plot in LASTPLOT, adding lines such as are produced by lineplot(), and
updates LASTPLOT with the new information.

Arguments x, and y are as for lineplot().  They can be replaced by a
structure with at least two REAL components.  Any components beyond the
first two are ignored.  It is not an error when x or y is NULL; no
plotting occurs.

It is an error if LASTPLOT does not exist.

When 'dumbplot' has been set False (see subtopic 'options:"dumbplot"'),
the plot will be a low resolution plot unless 'dumb:F' is an argument.

addlines(Graph,x,y) or lineplot(Graph,x,y,add:T) displays GRAPH variable
Graph with the addition of lines connecting points specified by x and
y, saving the modified plot in LASTPLOT.  Graph is not changed (unless
it is LASTPLOT).

addlines(x,y,keep:F) (or lineplot(x,y,keep:F,add:T)) suppresses any
change to LASTPLOT.

addlines(x,y,show:F) (or lineplot(x,y,show:F,add:T)) suppresses
immediate display of the modified graph but updates LASTPLOT.  This is
useful when you are building a complex graph in stages using addlines(),
addchars(), addstrings(), or addpoints().  When you are done, simply
type showplot().  You can't use both show:F and keep:F.

You can use keywords 'linetype' and 'thickness' to control the type of
lines used (solid, dashed, etc.).  See topic 'graph_keys'.

'ticks', 'xticks', 'yticks', 'xticklen', 'yticklen', 'xticklabs',
'yticklabs', 'height', 'width', 'pause', 'silent' and 'notes' may be
used as for other plotting commands.  See topics 'graph_keys',

addlines([Graph,] keys:structure(x:x,y:y [other keyword phrases)) is
equivalent to addlines([Graph,] x:x,y:y [other keyword phrases]).  See
topic 'graph_keys' for details.

A value of MISSING for any of xmin, xmax, ymin or ymax (for example,
xmin:?) forces determination of a value from the current data and data
already in the graph.

New labels and title may be set only by keywords 'xlab', 'ylab' and
'title'.

addlines(x,y,add:F, ...) is equivalent to lineplot(x,y, ...).

See topic 'graph_assign' for information on another way to add data and
other information to a plot.

See topic 'graphs' for general information on plots and on variable
LASTPLOT.  See topic 'graph_keys' for information on keywords.  See
topic 'graph_files' for information on writing a graph to a file.
