StackedListPlot

StackedListPlot[{data1,data2,}]

plots lines for each of the datai, with the i^(th) curve being the accumulation of values in data1 through datai.

StackedListPlot[{,w[datai],}]

plots datai with features defined by the symbolic wrapper w.

Details and Options

  • The datai have the following forms and interpretations:
  • {y1,y2,}heights {y1,y2,} with automatic x values
    {{x1,y1},{x2,y2},}values {{x1,y1},{x2,y2},}
    <|"k1"y1,"k2"y2,|>values {y1,y2,}
    <|x1y1,x2y2,|>key-value pairs {{x1,y1},{x2,y2},}
    {y1"lbl1",y2"lbl2",}, {y1,y2,}{"lbl1","lbl2",}values {y1,y2,} with labels {lbl1,lbl2,}
    SparseArrayvalues as a normal array
    TimeSeries, EventSeriestime-value pairs
    QuantityArraymagnitudes
    WeightedDataunweighted values
  • Data values xi and yi can be given in the following forms:
  • xia real-valued number
    Quantity[xi,unit]a quantity with a unit
    Around[xi,ei]value xi with uncertainty ei
    Interval[{xmin,xmax}]values between xmin and xmax
  • If necessary, the data will be sorted according to the xi.
  • The positive part of each datai is plotted on the positive axis and the negative part on the negative axis.
  • Negative values of yi stack in the opposite direction from positive values.
  • Values xi and yi that are not of the preceding form are taken to be missing and are not shown. Missing data is taken to be zero for accumulation purposes.
  • The following wrappers w can be used for the datai:
  • Annotation[datai,label]provide an annotation for the data
    Button[datai,action]define an action to execute when the data is clicked
    Callout[datai,label]label the data with a callout
    Callout[datai,label,pos]place the callout at relative position pos
    EventHandler[datai,events]define a general event handler for the data
    Hyperlink[datai,uri]make the data a hyperlink
    Labeled[datai,label]label the data
    Labeled[datai,label,pos]place the label at relative position pos
    Legended[datai,label]identify the data in a legend
    PopupWindow[datai,cont]attach a popup window to the data
    StatusArea[datai,label]display in the status area on mouseover
    Style[datai,styles]show the data using the specified styles
    Tooltip[datai,label]attach a tooltip to the curve
  • Wrappers w can be applied at multiple levels:
  • {,w[yi],}wrap the value yi in data
    {,w[{xi,yi}],}wrap the point {xi,yi}
    w[datai]wrap the data
    w[{data1,}]wrap a collection of datai
    w1[w2[]]use nested wrappers
  • Callout, Labeled and Placed can use the following positions pos:
  • Automaticautomatically placed labels
    Above, Below, Before, Afterpositions around the curve
    xnear the curve at a position x
    Scaled[s]scaled position s along the curve
    {s,Above},{s,Below},relative position at position s along the curve
    {pos,epos}epos in label placed at relative position pos of the curve

  • AspectRatio1/GoldenRatioratio of height to width
    AxesTruewhether to draw axes
    ClippingStyle Nonewhat to draw when lines are clipped

    PlotStyle Automaticgraphics directives to determine the style of each line
    PlotTheme $PlotThemeoverall theme for the plot
    ScalingFunctions Nonehow to scale individual coordinates
    TargetUnits Automaticunits to display in the plot
  • DataRange determines how values {y1,,yn} are interpreted into {{x1,y1},,{xn,yn}}. Possible settings include:
  • Automatic,Alluniform from 1 to n
    {xmin,xmax}uniform from xmin to xmax
  • In general, a list of pairs {{x1,y1},{x2,y2},} is interpreted as a list of points, but the setting DataRangeAll forces it to be interpreted as multiple data sources {{y11,y12},{y21,y23},}.
  • LabelingFunction->f specifies that each point should have a label given by f[value,index,lbls], where value is the value associated with the point, index is its position in the data, and lbls is the list of relevant labels.
  • The following settings for PlotLayout can be used to display multiple sets of data:
  • "Stacked"accumulate the data per axis
    "Percentile"accumulate and normalize the data per axis
  • Typical settings for PlotLegends include:
  • Noneno legend
    Automaticautomatically determine legend
    {lbl1,lbl2,}use lbl1, lbl2, as legend labels
    Placed[lspec,]specify placement for legend
  • ScalingFunctions->"scale" scales the coordinate; ScalingFunctions{"scalex","scaley"} scales both the and coordinates.
