While
most of the Statit charts have tips as a standard
option, there are a few where it is necessary
to create special tips. An example of another
plot with tip options is the XY Plot. Try the
following commands:
getf
qc.wrk /be
gplot Pressure by Temperature /tips=Width
In this example, the tip will display only
the width value with no other formatting. And
the /tip_option takes only one variable. You
can create a more useful tip with the following
commands:
tipvar
= "Pressure: " & Pressure &
"&nTemperature: " & Temperature
The "&n' provides a line feed for
the tip.
Another example uses custom graphics with the
Bar Chart. Since most shapes in Statit can hold
a tip, you can create a macro to dynamically
add tips to a bar chart. Try the following commands:
| getf student.wrk /be |
|
| makechar Class into ClassString
|
## Convert student to a
string variable |
| gbar Name /height=GPA /nodraw |
## Generate Bar Chart |
| barline 1 /datatips=@ClassString
|
## Add tip to barline object
with bar chart |
| draw |
## Draw chart |
Using the @variableName
operation with the /datatips
option takes all the values of that variable,
and places them into a tip on the bar chart.
