Graph SymbolSeq

SysVar Graph_SymbolSeq

This system variable is can be used to change the order of the symbol shapes that are used when graphing. There is currently no GUI for changing this, so the setting must be set manually through typescript, or by using Analytica code (e.g., from a button script) to change the settings.

If you set the system variable itself, the symbol sequence will be the global default.

By placing the setting in the GraphSetup attribute of a graph template, you can define a symbol sequence that applies only to results that use that graph template.

If you place the setting in the GraphSetup attribute of an individual variable, the sequence will be used only for that result.

The attribute should be set to a tuple of integers. From typescript, this is done as in this example:

Graph_SymbolSeq : [ 9, 8, 10, 11, 12 ]

In this example, only 5 symbols would be used - if more than 5 items appear in the symbol key, the symbol shape repeats after each fifth item.

Analytica 4.0 provides 13 built-in symbols. You use the integer value shown as follows as the value in the tuple to select the given shape.

1	solid circle
2	solid square
3	solid diamond
4	solid upright triangle
5	X
6	+
7	Solid inverted triangle
8	Hollow square
9	Hollow diamond
10	Hollow upright triangle
11	Hollow circle
12	Hollow inverted triangle
13	*
