<h4><a name="layer-fill">8.3.15 <code>fill</code></a></h4>
<p>If a two-dimensional dataset represents a single-valued
function, this plotter will fill the area underneath the
function's curve with a solid colour.
Parts of the surface which would only be partially covered
(because of rapid function variation within the width
of a single pixel)
are represented using appropriate alpha-blending.
The filled area may alternatively be that above the curve or to its left or right.
</p>
<p>One example of its use is to reconstruct the appearance
of a histogram plot from a set of histogram bins.
For X,Y data which is not single-valued, the result
may not be very useful.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Usage Overview:</strong>
<pre>
layerN=fill colorN=<rrggbb>|red|blue|... transparencyN=0..1
horizontalN=true|false positiveN=true|false <pos-coord-paramsN>
inN=<table> ifmtN=<in-format> istreamN=true|false icmdN=<cmds>
</pre>
</p>
<p>All the parameters listed here
affect only the relevant layer,
identified by the suffix
<code>N</code>.
</p>
<p>
<dl>
<dt><strong>Positional Coordinate Parameters:</strong></dt>
<dd>The positional coordinates
<code><pos-coord-paramsN></code>
give a position for each row of the input table.
Their form depends on the plot geometry,
i.e. which plotting command is used.
For a plane plot (<a href="plot2plane.html"><code>plot2plane</code></a>)
the parameters would be
<code>xN</code> and <code>yN</code>.
The coordinate parameter values are in all cases strings
interpreted as numeric expressions based on column names.
These can be column names, fixed values or algebraic
expressions as described in <a href="jel.html">Section 10</a>.
</dd>
</dl>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Example:</strong>
</p>
<div align="center"><img src="plot2-layer-fill.png" alt="" align="middle"></div>
<p><pre> stilts plot2time <strong>layer1=fill</strong> <strong>in1=iers.fits</strong> <strong>t1=decYear</strong> <strong>y1=lodErr</strong> ylog=true</pre></p>
<p>
<dl>
<dt><strong><code>colorN = <rrggbb>|red|blue|...</code> <em>(<a href="http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/awt/Color.html">Color</a>)</em></strong></dt>
<dd>The color of plotted data,
given by name or as a hexadecimal RGB value.
<p>The standard plotting colour names are
<code>red</code>, <code>blue</code>, <code>green</code>, <code>grey</code>, <code>magenta</code>, <code>cyan</code>, <code>orange</code>, <code>pink</code>, <code>yellow</code>, <code>black</code>, <code>light_grey</code>, <code>white</code>.
However, many other common colour names (too many to list here)
are also understood.
The list currently contains those colour names understood
by most web browsers,
from <code>AliceBlue</code> to <code>YellowGreen</code>,
listed e.g. in the
<em>Extended color keywords</em> section of
the <a href="http://www.w3c.org/TR/css3-color#svg-color">CSS3</a> standard.
</p>
<p>Alternatively, a six-digit hexadecimal number <em>RRGGBB</em>
may be supplied,
optionally prefixed by "<code>#</code>" or "<code>0x</code>",
giving red, green and blue intensities,
e.g. "<code>ff00ff</code>", "<code>#ff00ff</code>"
or "<code>0xff00ff</code>" for magenta.
</p>
<p>[Default: <code>red</code>]
</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><code>horizontalN = true|false</code> <em>(Boolean)</em></strong></dt>
<dd>Determines whether the filling is vertical
(suitable for functions of the horizontal variable),
or horizontal
(suitable for functions of the vertical variable).
If false, the fill is vertical (to the X axis),
and if true, the fill is horizontal (to the Y axis).
<p>[Default: <code>false</code>]
</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><code>icmdN = <cmds></code> <em>(<a href="http://andromeda.star.bris.ac.uk/starjavadocs/uk/ac/starlink/ttools/filter/ProcessingStep.html">ProcessingStep[]</a>)</em></strong></dt>
<dd>Specifies processing to be performed on
the layer N input table as specified by parameter <code>inN</code>.
The value of this parameter is one or more of the filter
commands described in <a href="filterSteps.html">Section 6.1</a>.
If more than one is given, they must be separated by
semicolon characters (";").
This parameter can be repeated multiple times on the same
command line to build up a list of processing steps.
The sequence of commands given in this way
defines the processing pipeline which is performed on the table.
<p>Commands may alteratively be supplied in an external file,
by using the indirection character '@'.
Thus a value of "<code>@filename</code>"
causes the file <code>filename</code> to be read for a list
of filter commands to execute. The commands in the file
may be separated by newline characters and/or semicolons.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><code>ifmtN = <in-format></code> <em>(String)</em></strong></dt>
<dd>Specifies the format of the input table as specified by parameter <code>inN</code>.
The known formats are listed in <a href="inFormats.html">Section 5.2.1</a>.
This flag can be used if you know what format your
table is in.
If it has the special value
<code>(auto)</code> (the default),
then an attempt will be
made to detect the format of the table automatically.
This cannot always be done correctly however, in which case
the program will exit with an error explaining which
formats were attempted.
<p>[Default: <code>(auto)</code>]
</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><code>inN = <table></code> <em>(<a href="http://www.starlink.ac.uk/stil/javadocs/uk/ac/starlink/table/StarTable.html">StarTable</a>)</em></strong></dt>
<dd>The location of the input table.
This may take one of the following forms:
<ul>
<li>A filename.</li>
<li>A URL.</li>
<li>The special value "<code>-</code>",
meaning standard input.
In this case the input format must be given explicitly
using the <code>ifmtN</code>
parameter.
Note that not all formats can be streamed in this way.
</li>
<li>A system command line with
either a "<code><</code>" character at the start,
or a "<code>|</code>" character at the end
("<code><syscmd</code>" or
"<code>syscmd|</code>").
This executes the given pipeline and reads from its
standard output.
This will probably only work on unix-like systems.
</li>
</ul>
In any case, compressed data in one of the supported compression
formats (gzip, Unix compress or bzip2) will be decompressed
transparently.
</dd>
<dt><strong><code>istreamN = true|false</code> <em>(Boolean)</em></strong></dt>
<dd>If set true, the input table
specified by the <code>inN</code> parameter
will be read as a stream.
It is necessary to give the
<code>ifmtN</code> parameter
in this case.
Depending on the required operations and processing mode,
this may cause the read to fail (sometimes it is necessary
to read the table more than once).
It is not normally necessary to set this flag;
in most cases the data will be streamed automatically
if that is the best thing to do.
However it can sometimes result in less resource usage when
processing large files in certain formats (such as VOTable).
<p>[Default: <code>false</code>]
</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><code>positiveN = true|false</code> <em>(Boolean)</em></strong></dt>
<dd>Determines the directional sense of the filling.
If false, the fill is between the data points
and negative infinity along the relevant axis
(e.g. down from the data points to the bottom of the plot).
If true, the fill is in the other direction.
<p>[Default: <code>false</code>]
</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong><code>transparencyN = 0..1</code> <em>(Double)</em></strong></dt>
<dd>Transparency with which components are plotted,
in the range 0 (opaque) to 1 (invisible).
The value is 1-alpha.
<p>[Default: <code>0</code>]
</p>
</dd>
