Once this is done, the @Code "@Graph" +symbol used below will then be available for use anywhere within your document. +@PP +@Code "@Graph" distinguishes between the overall graph, produced by the +@Code "@Graph" symbol itself, and the data sets to be placed within it, +each of which is enclosed by a @Code "@Data" symbol: +@ID @OneRow @Code { +"@CentredDisplay @Graph" +"{" +" @Data points { plus }" +" { 1 1.10 2 1.21 3 1.33 4 1.46 5 1.61 6 1.77 7 1.95 8 2.14 }" +"" +" @Data points { circle }" +" { 1 1.20 2 1.44 3 1.73 4 2.07 5 2.45 6 2.99 7 3.58 8 4.30 }" +"}" +} +Although it is good practice to lay the input data out neatly, layout +has no effect on the result. It is not necessary to have one data point +per line, for example.
