StackedLineProperties Properties

Appearance and behavior of individual lines in stacked plot

expand all in page

StackedLineProperties properties control the appearance and behavior of individual lines in a stacked plot. In a stacked plot, you can plot the variables of a table or timetable, or the columns of a matrix, in separate y-axes, stacked vertically. By changing property values, you can modify certain aspects of the stacked plot.

The stackedplot function returns a StackedLineChart object. In turn, this object has an array of StackedLineProperties objects, named LineProperties. To set properties of an individual line, index into LineProperties and access properties of the corresponding object.

You can use dot notation to query and set properties. For example, change the third plot to a scatter plot using its PlotType property.

T = readtable('outages.csv');
s = stackedplot(T);
c = s.LineProperties(3).PlotType
s.LineProperties(3).PlotType = 'scatter';

Line color, specified as an RGB triplet, a hexadecimal color code, or one of the color options listed in the first table.

For a custom color, specify an RGB triplet or a hexadecimal color code.

  • An RGB triplet is a three-element row vector whose elements specify the intensities of the red, green, and blue components of the color. The intensities must be in the range [0,1]; for example, [0.4 0.6 0.7].

  • A hexadecimal color code is a character vector or a string scalar that starts with a hash symbol (#) followed by three or six hexadecimal digits, which can range from 0 to F. The values are not case sensitive. Thus, the color codes '#FF8800', '#ff8800', '#F80', and '#f80' are equivalent.

Alternatively, you can specify some common colors by name. This table lists the named color options, the equivalent RGB triplets, and hexadecimal color codes.

Line style, specified as one of the options listed in this table.

Line StyleDescriptionResulting Line
'-'Solid line

'--'Dashed line

':'Dotted line

'-.'Dash-dotted line

'none'No lineNo line

Line width, specified as a positive value in points, where 1 point = 1/72 of an inch. If the line has markers, then the line width also affects the marker edges.

The line width cannot be thinner than the width of a pixel. If you set the line width to a value that is less than the width of a pixel on your system, the line displays as one pixel wide.

Marker symbol, specified as one of the values listed in this table. By default, the object does not display markers. Specifying a marker symbol adds markers at each data point or vertex.

Marker outline color, specified as 'none', an RGB triplet, a hexadecimal color code, or one of the color options listed in the first table.

For a custom color, specify an RGB triplet or a hexadecimal color code.
