Full Command and Function Reference 3-27
ptype is a command name specifying the plot type. Executing the command BAR places the
command name BAR in PPAR.
depend is a name specifying a label for the vertical axis. The default value is Y.
A bar is drawn for each element of the column in ΣDAT. Its width is specified by res and its
height is the value of the element. The location of the first bar can be specified by indep;
otherwise, the value in (x
min
, y
min
) is used.

BARPLOT
Type: Command
Description: Draw Bar Plot Command: Plots a bar chart of the specified column of the current statistics matrix
(reserved variable ΣDAT).
The data column to be plotted is specified by XCOL and is stored as the first parameter in
reserved variable ΣPAR. The default column is 1. Data can be positive or negative, resulting in
bars above or below the axis. The y-axis is autoscaled, and the plot type is set to BAR.
When BARPLOT is executed from a program, the resulting plot does not persist unless
PICTURE, PVIEW (with an empty list argument), or FREEZE is subsequently executed.

BASIS
Type: Command
Description: Determines the basis of a sub-space of the n-space
R
n
.
Access: Matrices, L
VECTOR
Input: A list of vectors defining a vector sub-space of
R
n
.
Output: A list containing the vectors of a basis of the vector sub-space.
Flags: Exact mode must be set (flag –105 clear).
Numeric mode must not be set (flag –3 clear).
Example: Find the vectors that form a basis of the sub-space defined by [1,2,3], [1,1,1], and [2,3,4]
Command:
BASIS({[1,2,3],[1,1,1],[2,3,4]})
Result:
{[1,0,-1],[0,1,2]}

Description: Baud Rate Command: Specifies bit-transfer rate.
Legal baud rates are 2400, 4800, 9600, 14400, 19200, 38400, 57600 and 115200 (default).
