PQ-8P, PQ-8S

To aid in readability, extra space was left between the last bar of day one and the first bar of the next day. To determine the <bar width>, divide the available one inch (<x increment>) into four equal sections (three bars and one space). The resulting value was 75 (= 300/4). Next, count the <# of entries> (5) and enter the respective values. The parameters are:

¬GX'bar chart Boyd' ¬GS5;01;10;01;10;01;10;01;10;01;10 ¬GH1;300;3000;300;30;75;5;30;34;39; 37;28

Bar Chart Gary

The bars representing Gary’s calls were to be printed directly to the right of Boyd’s. The resulting horizontal start value <x start> was:

300(Boyd’s)

+75 (Bar width)

With the exception of the actual calls, the other parameters for Gary’s bar chart were identical to Boyd’s. The parameters are:

¬GX'bar chart Gary' ¬GS5;02;75;02;75;02;75;02;75;02;75 ¬GH1;375;3000;300;30;75;5;35;36;38; 39;31

Bar Chart Shawn

Shawn’s bar chart was to be printed directly to the right of Gary’s. The resulting horizontal starting position <x start> was:

375(Gary’s)

+75 (Bar width)

The parameters are:

¬GX'bar chart Shawn' ¬GS5;04;50;04;50;04;50;04;50;04;50 ¬GH1;450;3000;300;30;75;5;15;16;21; 20;13

6.7.3X- AND Y-AXES

The x-axis (Weekday) and the y-axis (# of calls), along with the increments, were created through a series of separate lines. Notice that the line width of the axis is the same as the line width of the bars. The parameters are shown below:

¬GX'X-Axis with increments' ¬GL1;300;3000;1850;3000 ¬GL.5;600;3000;600;3019 ¬GL.5;900;3000;900;3019 ¬GL.5;1200;3000;1200;3019 ¬GL.5;1500;3000;1500;3019 ¬GL.5;1800;3000;1800;3019

¬GC'Y-Axis with increments' ¬GL1;300;3000;300;1750 ¬GL.5;281;2700;300;2700 ¬GL.5;281;2400;300;2400 ¬GL.5;281;2100;300;2100 ¬GL.5;281;1800;300;1800
