dotchart

Creates a dot chart as described in Cleveland, 1984.

Input Arguments:

The input arguments are:

• The input matrix X is an n x p matrix of observations.
• 'cases' is a cell array of strings or a string matrix containing the labels. If this is not given, then a default set of names will be used.
• If no other flags are given, then the default is to plot lines just to the dots. See below for information on other input argument flags.

Output Arguments:

None

Synopsis

Basic syntax:
       DOTCHART(X,'CASES'))

   The following capabilities are implemented:

   1. Dot chart without lines: DOTCHART(...,'NL')
   2. Dot chart with lines extending to end: DOTCHART(...,'ALL')
   3. Dot chart with symmetric error bars: DOTCHART(...,'ERR',E). E is a
   vector of error values.
   4. Dot chart with scale break: DOTCHART(...,'BRK',I). I is the INDEX of
   the start of the break - only one allowed.
   5. Add cumulative distribution information to right axis:
   DOTCHART(...,'CD')
   NOTE: it is sufficient on the string arguments (other than the labels)
   to just have the first letter.
