hide_histogram

Syntax

hide_histogram()
hide_histogram( [ChipsId] )
hide_histogram( "histogram_id" )
hide_histogram( "all" )

Description

Depending on the argument, this command hides the current histogram, the histogram indicated in a ChipsId structure or by the histogram_id, or all histograms.

(no argument) - the current histogram is hidden.
ChipsId - an optional ChipsId structure containing values to modify the currency state for the command.
histogram_id - identification tag given to each object that is created; use this to hide a specific histogram.
all - hides all histograms.

The histogram is not deleted, just hidden. The display_histogram command makes it visible again.

Example 1

chips> add_histogram([1,2,3], [10, 15, 20],["dropline", "off"])
chips> hide_histogram()

Create a histogram, then hide the current histogram.

Example 2

chips> id = ChipsId()
chips> add_histogram([5,8,13], [10, 15, 20], [12, 17, 22], "id=basic")
chips> add_histogram([8,10,14], [12, 17, 22], [14, 19, 24], [1,1,2],
["id", "Histogram2", "symbol.style", "diamond", "err.style", "capped"])
chips> id.histogram = "basic"
chips> hide_histogram(id)

Two histograms are created; the second histogram is current after it is created. The id.histogram command sets the histogram value of the ChipsId structure to the first histogram. That histogram is then hidden.

Example 3

chips> add_histogram([5,8,13], [10, 15, 20], [12, 17, 22], "id=basic")
chips> add_histogram([8,10,14], [12, 17, 22], [14, 19, 24], [1,1,2],
["id", "Histogram2", "symbol.style", "diamond", "err.style", "capped"])
chips> hide_histogram("all")

Two histograms are created, then the hide_histogram command hides them both.
