STMLP
Prints a stem‑and‑leaf plot.
Required Arguments
X —Array of length NOBS containing the data. (Input)
UNITS — Size of the increment on the stem. (Input)
If UNITS is set so small that the length of the stem is more than 60 lines, STMLP will use a UNITS such that the stem will be no longer than 60 lines. However, if UNITS is a negative integer, STMLP will use the absolute value of UNITS, even if the stem would become very long. A common value for UNITS is 10.
TITLE — CHARACTER string containing the plot title. (Input)
Optional Arguments
NOBS — Number of observations. (Input)
Default: NOB = size (X,1).
FORTRAN 90 Interface
Generic: CALL STMLP (X, UNITS, TITLE [, …])
Specific: The specific interface names are S_STMLP and D_STMLP.
FORTRAN 77 Interface
Single: CALL STMLP (NOBS, X, UNITS, TITLE)
Double: The double precision name is DSTMLP.
Description
Routine STMLP prints a stem‑and‑leaf display. The user can specify that the plot be longer than one page, but the default maximum is 60 lines. A plus sign (+) at the end of a line indicates that there are too many data points to fit within the width specifications. A scale marked in units of 10 is printed below the stem‑and‑leaf display.
Comments
1. Workspace may be explicitly provided, if desired, by use of S2MLP/DS2MLP. The reference is:
CALL S2MLP (NOBS, X, UNITS, TITLE, MAXWID, IWK, WK)
The additional arguments are as follows:
MAXWID — Page width. (Input)
MAXWID = 78 when STMLP is called.
IWK — Work vector of length MAXWID.
WK — Vector of length NOBS. (Output)
WK contains the sorted data from X.
2. Informational error
Type | Code | Description |
|---|
3 | 4 | TITLE is too long to fit into the page width determined by the routine PGOPT. TITLE is truncated from the right side. |
3. Default page width is 78. The user may change it by calling the routine
PGOPT (see
Chapter 19, "Utilities") in advance.
Example
This example prints a stem‑and‑leaf plot consisting of 27 data points ranging from –21.8 to 106.5.
