PQ-8P, PQ-8S

Each bar is 1/3 inch wide (100/300 inch). The distance from the left side of one bar to the left side of the next bar is one inch (300/300). This allows other bars to be added through a separate command.

Bar 1 will be 1 2/3 inches (500 x 1/300 inch) high, bar 2 will be two inches high (600 x 1/300 inch), and bar 3 will be 2 2/3 inches high (800 x 1/300 inch).

NOTE

The y-increment determines the scaling. Only integers (i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.) are valid. If you are charting sales figures in thousands of dollars, the y-increment should be small (for example, 1). If you are charting the number of customer complaints per period the y-increment should be high (for example, 100 or more). Be aware that the bar height must not exceed the total printable area of the page.

Run Chart—¬GR<line width>;<x start>;<y start>;<x increment>;<y increment>;<# of entries>;<value 1>;<value 2>; ...

Draws a run (line) chart. The xy start specifies the origin of the chart’s xy scale (xy axes are not drawn). The x increment specifies the horizontal movement before the next value is printed. The y increment determines the height of the line (multiplied by the value).

For example: ¬GR3;900;2400;150;1;5;100;300;200; 500;400 draws a run (line) chart (Figure 6-17).
