Plotalot-27_1

Query RequirementsColumn 1: Numeric - the X value
Column 2: Numeric - the Y value
The query for each plot must return two columns, the first being the X, or horizontal, axis, and the second being the Y, or vertical axis. Both values must be numeric. If the X axis relates to dates or time, it must be a Unix time value.
Multiple PlotsYes
Each plot has its own SQL query, a colour, a name, and a line style.
Axis OverridesBoth X and Y
You can override the automatic axis limits calculated from the data series and extend the axes to values of your choice.
Data FormattingBoth X and Y
You can apply formatting to the X and Y axis labels. For example if the X axis data represents Unix time (seconds since 1st January 1970), you can use the formatting options to display many different date or time formats. In the example above, the X axis is formatted to show months. There are also many numeric formats to choose from.
Extra ColumnsYes
certainty, emphasis, scope, tooltip
