Element	useMarker(SVGPlot plot, Element parent, double x, double y, int style, double size) Insert a marker at the given coordinates.

Method Detail

useMarker

Element useMarker(SVGPlot plot,
                  Element parent,
                  double x,
                  double y,
                  int style,
                  double size)

Insert a marker at the given coordinates. Markers will be defined in the defs part of the document, and then SVG-"use"d at the given coordinates. This supposedly is more efficient and significantly reduces file size. Symbols will be named "s0", "s1" etc.; these names must not be used by other elements in the SVG document!

Parameters:

plot - Plot to draw on

parent - parent node

x - coordinate

y - coordinate

style - style (enumerated)

size - size

Returns:

Element node generated.

setStyleLibrary

void setStyleLibrary(StyleLibrary style)

Set the style library for this marker library.

Parameters:

style - New style library to use.
