DESCRIPTION

A 2D plot object is used to display a 2D plot.

A variety of plot types are supported, including line plots, discrete plots, bar graphs, polymarker plots, linemarker plots, and colormarker plots. The 2D plot object is generally used in conjunction with a 2D axis object, where both are created as children of an area object so that a coordinated world coordinate view is automatically supported.
