Function
Create a function plot as a graph plot of a defined function.
Syntax
model.result(<pgtag>).create(<ftag>,"Function");
model.result(<pgtag>).feature(<ftag>).selection(...);
model.result(<pgtag>).feature(<ftag>).set(property, <value>);
model.result(<pgtag>).feature(<ftag>).run();
Description
model.result(<pgtag>).create(<ftag>,"Function") creates a function plot feature named <ftag> belonging to the plot group <pgtag>.
A function plot is used to visualize a function as a line, as points, or as its frequency spectrum. Function plots can be added to 1D plot groups.
The following properties are available:

expressionintitle
on | off
off
Whether the title contribution should contain the expression when titletype is custom.
extrapolation
none | left | right | leftright

How to extrapolate the function outside the argument’s bounds: no extrapolation or extrapolation to the left, to the right, or to both the left and the right of the bounds.
extrapolationcolor
custom | black | blue | cyan | gray | green | magenta | red | white | yellow
red
The color of the extrapolation zones, if extrapolation is not none.
freqmax
integer
 
If display is spectrum and freqrangeactive is true: The upper frequency bound.
freqmin

If display is spectrum and freqrangeactive is true: The lower frequency bound.
freqrangeactive
on | off
false
If display is spectrum: Controls whether a manual frequency range is used.
legend
on | off
off
Whether to show legends.
legendmethod
automatic | manual
automatic
Whether to use the automatic legends or the legends supplied in the legends property.
legendprefix
String
 
A prefix added to the automatic legend.
legends
String array
The last computed automatic legends
Manual legends active when legendmethod is set to manual.
legendsuffix
String
 
A suffix added to the automatic legend.
linecolor
custom | cycle | black | blue | cyan | gray | green | magenta | red | white | yellow
cycle
How to color the lines in the graph. Cycle indicates that the colors is different for each line.
linewidth
double
0.5
The line width.
linestyle
none | cycle | solid | dotted | dashed | dashdot
solid
The line style, if any. Cycle indicates that the line style is different for each line.
lowerbound
double
0
The lower bound for the function’s argument.
nfreqs
integer
1
If display is spectrum and nfreqsactive is true: The number of frequencies to plot.
nfreqsactive
Boolean
false
If display is spectrum: Controls whether the number of frequencies is set manually.
pointdef
String
 
The tag of the dataset for the point definition, if display is set to linepoints or points.
pointcolor
custom | black | blue | cyan | gray | green | magenta | red | white | yellow
black
The point color.
plotonsecyaxis
Boolean
true
Plot on secondary y-axis, if twoyaxes is set to true in the parent plot group.
prefixintitle
String
Empty
Added prefix to contribution to title.
scale
Boolean
false
If display is spectrum: The frequency spectrum is transformed so that it has the same scale as the original data.
suffixintitle
String
Empty
Added suffix to contribution to title.
title
String
The auto-title
The title to use when titletype is manual.
titletype
auto | custom | label | manual | none
auto
auto, if the title should be computed automatically. custom, if the title should be computed automatically, but customized. label, if the title should be the plot group’s label. manual, if the manual title should be used (the title property). none, if no title should be displayed.
typeintitle
on | off
on
Whether the title contribution should contain the type when titletype is custom.
unit
String
Model-dependent
The unit to use for the expression in expr. If the old unit is not valid when the expression changes, the unit property is reset to default.
