Example 7: Filling Areas in an Overlay Plot
| Features: |
|
| Other features: |
GOPTIONS statement option: BORDER SYMBOL statement |
| Sample library member: | GPLFILL1 |
This example uses the
AREAS= option in the PLOT statement to fill the areas that are under
the plot lines. As in the previous example, two plots are overlaid
on the same graph.

contains yearly highs and lows for the Dow Jones Industrial Average
and the dates of the high and low values each year.

Define symbol characteristics. The
INTERPOL= option specifies a line to connect data points. The line
creates the fill boundary.
axis1 order=(1955 to 1995 by 5) offset=(2,2)
label=none
major=(height=2)
minor=(height=1);
axis2 order=(0 to 6000 by 1000) offset=(0,0)
label=none
major=(height=2)
minor=(height=1);Generate a plot with filled areas. The plot requests are ordered to draw the lowest
plot first. Area 1 occupies the space between the lowest (first) plot
line and the horizontal axis, and area 2 is below the highest (second)
plot line. This arrangement prevents the pattern for area 1 from overlaying
the pattern for area 2. AREAS=2 fills all the areas below the second
plot line.
