Detailed Description

This is the abstract class for generating instances of objects that contain the specifications of a cascade of figures (plots).

This is a generic class for generating multiple separate cascading figures each containing a single plot (axes).

Developer Remark:

While dynamic addition of class attributes is not ideal, the current design was deemed unavoidable and best, given the constraints of the MATLAB language and visualization tools.

Note

See the list of class attributes below, also those of the superclass pm.matlab.Handle.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Cascade()

function Cascade::Cascade	(	in	template,
		in	varargin
	)

Construct and return an object of class pm.vis.Cascade.

This is the custom constructor of the class pm.vis.Cascade.

Parameters

[in]	template	: The input scalar object of superclass pm.vis.Plot. It serves as the template based upon which the cascade of plots are constructed.
[in]	varargin	: Any property, value pair of the parent object. If the property is a struct(), then its value must be given as a cell array, with consecutive elements representing the struct property-name, property-value pairs. Note that all of these property-value pairs can be also directly set via the parent object attributes, before calling the pm.vis.Cascade.make() method.

Returns

self : The scalar output object of class pm.vis.Cascade.

Possible calling interfaces ⛓

plot = pm.vis.Cascade(template);
plot = pm.vis.Cascade(template, varargin);

Note

The input varargin can also contain the components of the plot component of the parent object.

Example usage ⛓

cd(fileparts(mfilename('fullpath'))); % Change working directory to source code directory.
addpath('../../../'); % Add the ParaMonte library root directory to the search path.
 
cholow = chol(pm.stats.dist.cov.getRand(10), 'lower');
df = transpose(pm.stats.dist.mvu.getRand(zeros(length(cholow), 1), cholow, 5000));
cv = pm.vis.Cascade(pm.vis.PlotScatter(df, "colx", 1:2:5, "coly", 2:2:6));
cv.make();
cv.savefig(["Cascade.window.1.png", "Cascade.window.2.png", "Cascade.window.3.png"], "-m3");

Member Function Documentation

make()

function Cascade::make	(	in	self,
		in	varargin
	)

Configure the cascade settings and specifications, make the cascade of plots, and return nothing.

In making the figure, this method calls the make() methods of each of the plot objects stored in the window component.

Warning

This method has side-effects by manipulating the existing attributes of the parent object.

Parameters

[in,out]	self	: The input/output parent object of class pm.vis.Cascade which is implicitly passed to this dynamic method (not by the user).
[in]	varargin	: Any property, value pair of the parent object. If the property is a struct(), then its value must be given as a cell array, with consecutive elements representing the struct property-name, property-value pairs. Note that all of these property-value pairs can be also directly set via the parent object attributes, before calling the pm.vis.Cascade.make() method.

Possible calling interfaces ⛓

p = pm.vis.Cascade.make(varargin);

Note

The input varargin can also contain the components of the template component of the parent object.

Example usage ⛓

cd(fileparts(mfilename('fullpath'))); % Change working directory to source code directory.
addpath('../../../'); % Add the ParaMonte library root directory to the search path.
 
cholow = chol(pm.stats.dist.cov.getRand(10), 'lower');
df = transpose(pm.stats.dist.mvu.getRand(zeros(length(cholow), 1), cholow, 5000));
cv = pm.vis.Cascade(pm.vis.PlotScatter(df, "colx", 1:2:5, "coly", 2:2:6));
cv.make();
cv.savefig(["Cascade.window.1.png", "Cascade.window.2.png", "Cascade.window.3.png"], "-m3");

premake()

function Cascade::premake	(	in	self,
		in	varargin
	)

Configure the cascade of plots settings and specifications and return nothing.

Warning

This method has side-effects by manipulating the existing attributes of the parent object.

Parameters

[in,out]	self	: The input/output parent object of class pm.vis.Cascade which is implicitly passed to this dynamic method (not by the user).
[in]	varargin	: Any property, value pair of the parent object. If the property is a struct(), then its value must be given as a cell array, with consecutive elements representing the struct property-name, property-value pairs. Note that all of these property-value pairs can be also directly set via the parent object attributes, before calling the premake() method.

Possible calling interfaces ⛓

c = pm.vis.Cascade.premake(varargin);

Example usage ⛓

cv = pm.vis.Cascade(pm.vis.PlotLine(rand(100, 10)));
c.premake("figure", {"color", "white"})
cv.make("coly", 1:3)

reset()

function Cascade::reset	(	in	self,

savefig()

function Cascade::savefig	(	in	self,
		in	file,

	)

Export the current cascade of figures to the specified external files.

This method is merely a wrapper around all savefig methods of the figure objects in the window component of the parent cascade object.

Parameters

[in,out]	self	: The input/output parent object of class pm.vis.Cascade which is implicitly passed to this dynamic method (not by the user).
[in]	file	: The input vector of MATLAB strings or cell array of char vectors containing the paths to the external output figure files. It must be of the same length as the window component of the parent object. For more information, see the corresponding argument file of the savefig method of class pm.vis.figure.Figure. (optional. If file or any elements of it is missing or empty, the default will be set by the savefig method of the corresponding cascade figure in the window component.)
[in]	varargin	: Any optional key-val pair that is accepted by the savefig method of class pm.vis.figure.Figure. For more information, see the savefig method of class pm.vis.figure.Figure.
