[Scilab-users] Plotting a New Xpoly Directly Inside a Compound

[P M]

Hallo Robert,

 If you use xpoly() it means you know your data before you plot it?
--> I mean: you do not click in the figure to get the coordinates....
--> Why not plot all data at once?

E.g.: Can you not plot all polylines in one single plot2d command?

If you can't, you may try following approach:
Assumption: all data is of same length, e.g.: all lines are drawn by same
number of points

1.) you may access the data that composes the plot by searching for:
*.children.data
   * =: I do not recall from memory how deep you have to search....
   e.g.:
   plot2d();
   a = gca();
   a.children.children.data....or .....a.children.children.children.data

2.: Save the *.children.data separately in a X-matrix and Y-matrix

3.: Add the data that you would plot with xpoly() to these matrices.

4.: xdel()

5.: replot everything with  plot2d(X-matrix, Y-matrix)

This should give you all lines at the same plot-hirachy.
I did not check, but I would guess that also the line order would not
change.

It should be possible to create a function out of this and loop though it
each time a xpoly() is added to the plot.


Again, it is not clear why you just do not fuse all data together into one
matrix and use plot2d() to plot all data at once.


Best Regards,
Philipp
