scatterlines
Makie.scatterlines Function
scatterlines(xs, ys, [zs]; kwargs...)
Plots scatter
markers and lines
between them.
Plot type
The plot type alias for the scatterlines
function is ScatterLines
.
Examples
using CairoMakie
f = Figure()
Axis(f[1, 1])
xs = LinRange(0, 10, 20)
ys = 0.5 .* sin.(xs)
scatterlines!(xs, ys, color = :red)
scatterlines!(xs, ys .- 1, color = xs, markercolor = :red)
scatterlines!(xs, ys .- 2, markersize = LinRange(5, 30, 20))
scatterlines!(xs, ys .- 3, marker = :cross, strokewidth = 1,
markersize = 20, color = :orange, strokecolor = :black)
f

Attributes
alpha
Defaults to 1.0
The alpha value of the colormap or color attribute. Multiple alphas like in plot(alpha=0.2, color=(:red, 0.5)
, will get multiplied.
clip_planes
Defaults to @inherit clip_planes automatic
Clip planes offer a way to do clipping in 3D space. You can set a Vector of up to 8 Plane3f
planes here, behind which plots will be clipped (i.e. become invisible). By default clip planes are inherited from the parent plot or scene. You can remove parent clip_planes
by passing Plane3f[]
.
color
Defaults to @inherit linecolor
The color of the line, and by default also of the scatter markers.
colormap
Defaults to @inherit colormap :viridis
Sets the colormap that is sampled for numeric color
s. PlotUtils.cgrad(...)
, Makie.Reverse(any_colormap)
can be used as well, or any symbol from ColorBrewer or PlotUtils. To see all available color gradients, you can call Makie.available_gradients()
.
colorrange
Defaults to automatic
The values representing the start and end points of colormap
.
colorscale
Defaults to identity
The color transform function. Can be any function, but only works well together with Colorbar
for identity
, log
, log2
, log10
, sqrt
, logit
, Makie.pseudolog10
, Makie.Symlog10
, Makie.AsinhScale
, Makie.SinhScale
, Makie.LogScale
, Makie.LuptonAsinhScale
, and Makie.PowerScale
.
cycle
Defaults to [:color]
Sets which attributes to cycle when creating multiple plots. The values to cycle through are defined by the parent Theme. Multiple cycled attributes can be set by passing a vector. Elements can
directly refer to a cycled attribute, e.g.
:color
map a cycled attribute to a palette attribute, e.g.
:linecolor => :color
map multiple cycled attributes to a palette attribute, e.g.
[:linecolor, :markercolor] => :color
depth_shift
Defaults to 0.0
Adjusts the depth value of a plot after all other transformations, i.e. in clip space, where -1 <= depth <= 1
. This only applies to GLMakie and WGLMakie and can be used to adjust render order (like a tunable overdraw).
fxaa
Defaults to false
Adjusts whether the plot is rendered with fxaa (fast approximate anti-aliasing, GLMakie only). Note that some plots implement a better native anti-aliasing solution (scatter, text, lines). For them fxaa = true
generally lowers quality. Plots that show smoothly interpolated data (e.g. image, surface) may also degrade in quality as fxaa = true
can cause blurring.
highclip
Defaults to automatic
The color for any value above the colorrange.
inspectable
Defaults to @inherit inspectable
Sets whether this plot should be seen by DataInspector
. The default depends on the theme of the parent scene.
inspector_clear
Defaults to automatic
Sets a callback function (inspector, plot) -> ...
for cleaning up custom indicators in DataInspector.
inspector_hover
Defaults to automatic
Sets a callback function (inspector, plot, index) -> ...
which replaces the default show_data
methods.
inspector_label
Defaults to automatic
Sets a callback function (plot, index, position) -> string
which replaces the default label generated by DataInspector.
joinstyle
Defaults to @inherit joinstyle
Controls the rendering at corners. Options are :miter
for sharp corners, :bevel
for "cut off" corners, and :round
for rounded corners. If the corner angle is below miter_limit
, :miter
is equivalent to :bevel
to avoid long spikes.
linecap
Defaults to @inherit linecap
Sets the type of line cap used. Options are :butt
(flat without extrusion), :square
(flat with half a linewidth extrusion) or :round
.
linestyle
Defaults to nothing
Sets the dash pattern of the line. Options are :solid
(equivalent to nothing
), :dot
, :dash
, :dashdot
and :dashdotdot
. These can also be given in a tuple with a gap style modifier, either :normal
, :dense
or :loose
. For example, (:dot, :loose)
or (:dashdot, :dense)
.
For custom patterns have a look at Makie.Linestyle
.
linewidth
Defaults to @inherit linewidth
Sets the width of the line in screen units
lowclip
Defaults to automatic
The color for any value below the colorrange.
marker
Defaults to @inherit marker
Sets the scatter marker.
markercolor
Defaults to automatic
Sets the color of scatter markers. These default to color
markercolormap
Defaults to automatic
Sets the colormap for scatter markers. This defaults to colormap
markercolorrange
Defaults to automatic
Sets the colorrange for scatter markers. This defaults to colorrange
markersize
Defaults to @inherit markersize
Sets the size of the marker.
miter_limit
Defaults to @inherit miter_limit
Sets the minimum inner join angle below which miter joins truncate. See also Makie.miter_distance_to_angle
.
model
Defaults to automatic
Sets a model matrix for the plot. This overrides adjustments made with translate!
, rotate!
and scale!
.
nan_color
Defaults to :transparent
The color for NaN values.
overdraw
Defaults to false
Controls if the plot will draw over other plots. This specifically means ignoring depth checks in GL backends
space
Defaults to :data
Sets the transformation space for box encompassing the plot. See Makie.spaces()
for possible inputs.
ssao
Defaults to false
Adjusts whether the plot is rendered with ssao (screen space ambient occlusion). Note that this only makes sense in 3D plots and is only applicable with fxaa = true
.
strokecolor
Defaults to @inherit markerstrokecolor
Sets the color of the outline around a marker.
strokewidth
Defaults to @inherit markerstrokewidth
Sets the width of the outline around a marker.
transformation
Defaults to :automatic
Controls the inheritance or directly sets the transformations of a plot. Transformations include the transform function and model matrix as generated by translate!(...)
, scale!(...)
and rotate!(...)
. They can be set directly by passing a Transformation()
object or inherited from the parent plot or scene. Inheritance options include:
:automatic
: Inherit transformations if the parent and childspace
is compatible:inherit
: Inherit transformations:inherit_model
: Inherit only model transformations:inherit_transform_func
: Inherit only the transform function:nothing
: Inherit neither, fully disconnecting the child's transformations from the parent
Another option is to pass arguments to the transform!()
function which then get applied to the plot. For example transformation = (:xz, 1.0)
which rotates the xy
plane to the xz
plane and translates by 1.0
. For this inheritance defaults to :automatic
but can also be set through e.g. (:nothing, (:xz, 1.0))
.
transparency
Defaults to false
Adjusts how the plot deals with transparency. In GLMakie transparency = true
results in using Order Independent Transparency.
visible
Defaults to true
Controls whether the plot gets rendered or not.
