GUIDE Statement (GPL)

Syntax

GUIDE: <guide type>

<guide type>. A valid guide type.

Description

Specifies a guide for the graph. Guides provide additional information that can help a viewer interpret the graph. An axis is a guide because it provides labels for the categories and values in a graph (but is separate from the scale on which the data are drawn). A title is a guide because it describes the graph. A legend is a guide because it provides color swatches to match a category name to specific instances of a graphic element in the graph.

Examples
