Description

The Domain object provides a means for organizing the axes, data limits, and data units for one or more graphs. Each domain defines a coordinate system which provides common axes for all of the graphs in that domain.

Class Resource Set

The Classes resources allow you to control the data­to­color mapping for Scatter, Grid, 2D Contour, 3D Contour, and 4D Contour graphs. Color mapping is achieved by dividing the data into a sequence of sub­ranges and associating a color to each of these ranges. Data points within each range are colored according to the color assigned to the range. The term 'class' refers to a single color coded data range. All the ranges for a given dataset are collectively called the 'class limits' of the data.

Two methods can be used to calculated class limits: percentiles and limits. The Percentile method provides even data distribution, with the total quantity of data divided evenly into each class by default. The Limits method provides even class intervals by default, with a regular class step determined by the data limits divided by the number of classes.

When a domain contains more than one graph, the class values for the domain are calculated from data for the first graph in the domain.

Calculation Mode (XuNcalculationMode)
Default limits are calculated using Min/Max mode, where only the minimum and maximum class limits are used to determine the step. Other supported modes are Min+Step and Max­Step.

Limits Resource Set

The Limits­related resources allow you to set the minimum and maximum range limits of the axes to be drawn.

The domain's default ranges are based on the minimum and maximum values of the 'enabled' datasets in the domain. If a graph is disabled with the XuNobjectEnabled (Object Enabled) resource, its ranges are not included in the Domain limits.

Setting the limits to a range that is less than the maximum value and/or greater that the minimum value of the data will cause data values outside of the range to be drawn beyond the axis limits. To restrict the drawing of graphs beyond the viewport, turn on clipping with XuNgraphClipping (Graph Clipping). Clipping of the X values of the Line, Scatter, Bar, Linebar, Area, Staircase and Stair Area graphs is control by the resource XuNxDataClipping (X Data Clipping).
