FORMAT Subcommand<br />

TSPLOT 1577<br />

FORMAT controls the plot format.<br />

• The specification on FORMAT is one of the keywords listed below.<br />

• Keywords NOFILL, BOTTOM, REFERENCE and NOREFERENCE apply to plots with one<br />

variable. NOFILL and BOTTOM are alternatives that indicate how the plot is filled. NOREF-<br />

ERENCE and REFERENCE are alternatives that specify whether a reference line is<br />

displayed.<br />

• Keywords JOIN, NOJOIN, and HILO apply to plots with multiple variables and are alternatives.<br />

NOJOIN is the default. Only one keyword can be specified on a FORMAT subcommand<br />

for plots with multiple variables.<br />

The following formats are available for plots with one variable:<br />

NOFILL Plot only the values for the variable with no fill. NOFILL produces a plot with<br />

no fill above or below the plotted values. This is the default format when one<br />

variable is specified.<br />

BOTTOM Plot the values for the variable and fill in the area below the curve. If the<br />

plotted variable has missing or negative values, BOTTOM is ignored and the<br />

default NOFILL is used instead. Figure 2 shows a filled plot.<br />

Figure 2 FORMAT=BOTTOM<br />

NOREFERENCE Do not plot a reference line. This is the default when one variable is specified.<br />

REFERENCE Plot a reference line indicating the variable mean. A fill chart is displayed as<br />

an area chart with a reference line and a non-fill chart is displayed as a line<br />

chart with a reference line. Figure 3 shows a no-fill plot with a reference line<br />

indicating the variable mean.
