CLASS PlotBand
(Defined in: jpgraph_plotband.php : 541) Class usage and Overview
A "Plotband" repesent a rectangualr area in the graph that can be given a specific pattern ranging from 3D grid to simple horizntal grid lines.
A Plot band is then added to the graph via the Graph::AddBand() method.

function PlotBand($aDir,$aPattern,$aMin,$aMax,$aColor,$aWeight,$aDepth)
Create a new Plot band of the specified type
| Argument | Default | Description | 
|---|
| $aDir |  | Direction of plot band | 
| $aPattern |  | Type of pattern | 
| $aMin |  | Min value for plot area | 
| $aMax |  | Max value for plot area | 
| $aColor | "black" | Color of pattern | 
| $aWeight | 1 | Line weight | 
| $aDepth | DEPTH_BACK | Depth. Over or under the plot. | 
Description
Create a new Plot band that later on can be added to the graph. The following pattern types are supported
- BAND_RDIAG, Right diagonal lines
- BAND_LDIAG, Left diagonal lines
- BAND_SOLID, Solid one color
- BAND_LVERT, Vertical lines
- BAND_LHOR, Horizontal lines
- BAND_VLINE, Vertical lines
- BAND_HLINE, Horizontal lines
- BAND_3DPLANE, "3D" Plane
- BAND_HVCROSS, Vertical/Hor crosses
- BAND_DIAGCROSS, Diagonal crosses
A plotband extends completely along one of the axis in the graph. This axis is determined by the first argument, the direction.
Valid directions are
-  HORIZONTAL
-  VERTICAL
$uband=new PlotBand(HORIZONTAL,BAND_RDIAG,0,"max","green");
$uband->ShowFrame(false);
$uband->SetDensity(50); // 50% line density
$lband=new PlotBand(HORIZONTAL,BAND_LDIAG,"min",0,"red");
$lband->ShowFrame(false);
$lband->SetDensity(20); // 20% line density
$graph->AddBand($uband);
$graph->AddBand($lband);
  
   
function SetDensity($aDens)
Specify density for pattern
| Argument | Default | Description | 
|---|
| $aDens |  | Density [1,100] | 
Description
Specify density for pattern as an integer value between 1 and 100, 100 being very dense and 1 being very sparse.
 
$uband=new PlotBand(HORIZONTAL,BAND_RDIAG,0,"max","green");
$uband->ShowFrame(false);
$uband->SetDensity(50); // 50% line density
$lband=new PlotBand(HORIZONTAL,BAND_LDIAG,"min",0,"red");
$lband->ShowFrame(false);
$lband->SetDensity(20); // 20% line density
$graph->AddBand($uband);
$graph->AddBand($lband);
  
   
function SetOrder($aDepth)
Specify z-order parameter for plot
| Argument | Default | Description | 
|---|
| $aDepth |  | Pattern Z-order parameter | 
Description
Specify if the pattern should be in front of plot or behind the plot. Valid parameters are
- DEPTH_BACK, Behind the plot
- DEPTH_FRONT, In front of the plot
$band=new PlotBand(HORIZONTAL,BAND_RDIAG,0,"max","green");
$band->ShowFrame(false);
$band->SetOrder(DEPTH_BACK);
$graph->AddBand($band);
  
   
function ShowFrame($aFlag)
Display frame around pattern
| Argument | Default | Description | 
|---|
| $aFlag | true | True=Display border | 
Description
Display frame around pattern 
$band=new PlotBand(HORIZONTAL,BAND_RDIAG,0,"max","green");
$band->ShowFrame(false);
$band->SetOrder(DEPTH_BACK);
$graph->AddBand($band);
