<dl><dt><p><strong>Plotitem represents an item that can be plotted by gnuplot.</strong><p>
</dt><dd><p> For the finest control over the output, you can create <code>PlotItems</code>
yourself with additional keyword options, or derive new classes
from <code>PlotItem</code>.</p>
<p> The handling of options is complicated by the attempt to allow
options and their setting mechanism to be inherited conveniently.
Note first that there are some options that can only be set in the
constructor then never modified, and others that can be set in the
constructor and/or modified using the <code>set_option()</code> member
function. The former are always processed within <code>__init__</code>. The
latter are always processed within <code>set_option</code>, which is called
by the constructor.</p>
<p> <code>set_option</code> is driven by a class-wide dictionary called
<code>_option_list</code>, which is a mapping <code>{ <option> : <setter> }</code> from
option name to the function object used to set or change the
option. <setter> is a function object that takes two parameters:
<code>self</code> (the <code>PlotItem</code> instance) and the new value requested for
the option. If <setter> is <code>None</code>, then the option is not allowed
to be changed after construction and an exception is raised.</p>
<p> Any <code>PlotItem</code> that needs to add options can add to this
dictionary within its class definition. Follow one of the
examples in this file. Alternatively it could override the
<code>set_option</code> member function if it needs to do wilder things.</p>
<p> Members:</p>
<dl><dt> <code>_basecommand</code></dt><dd><p>a string holding the elementary argument that
must be passed to gnuplot's `plot' command for this item;
e.g., <code>sin(x)</code> or <code>"filename.dat"</code>.</p>
</dd>
<dt> <code>_options</code></dt><dd><p>a dictionary of (<option>,<string>) tuples
corresponding to the plot options that have been set for
this instance of the PlotItem. <option> is the option as
specified by the user; <string> is the string that needs to
be set in the command line to set that option (or None if no
string is needed). Example::</p>
<p> {'title' : (<code>Data</code>, <code>title "Data"</code>),
<code>with</code> : (<code>linespoints</code>, <code>with linespoints</code>)}</p>
