These page contains some real-life examples where ploticus helped to produce paper-based reports, posters, and slides. (Data may have been altered to protect confidentiality.)

## A sampler of web sites where ploticus is used

- Machine usage profile
- Ploticus live usage. With output graphics caching. We use it for stock exchange, currencies etc. quotes graphs and comparision.
- Wikipedia usage stats
- Time lines via the 'Easytimeline' tool
- http://pc1-archbo.bot.unibas.ch/~lukas/pl/kiruna_plot .. a realtime plot of the earth magnetic field in Kiruna, Sweden, accessable by a WAP enabled mobile phone. This is useful, if you want to observe polar lights as it is always connected to a strong disturbance in the magnetic field.
- Mixminion
- John Sheahan - network traffic load plots
- Microg's Maryland Weather Page (top section)
- www.lynchburgnephrology.com and here's another
- www.srcc.lsu.edu temperature & precip graphs
- www.banky.sk/graphs/ (currency information)
- mierle.com/keir/icqstats
- www.ewranglers.com/ThermLogs/temp.html
- aspell.sourceforge.net/test
- www.hillschmidt.de/ploticus/
- Last and maybe least is my project, the Mouse Phenome Database, a scientific collection of mouse model phenotype data. Plots are invoked automatically via CGI on demand.

#
Example 1 - Web

mouse
This is a comparison of measurement values of many different inbred strains of mice, for a certain scientific measurement. In the larger plot, two bars (red for female and blue for male) are shown for each strain; the middle tick is the mean, and the bars extend to +/- the standard error. The second, smaller plot is also produced by the same script. It shows a histogram of the distribution of measurement values. More info on producing web-based graphs

#
Example 2 - Web

stock
A stock price / volume display using historical data downloaded from quote.yahoo.com in sreadsheet or .csv format. Here is a variation. More info on producing web-based graphs

#
Example 3 - Web

dmag
A user-contributed example having to do with managed health care.

#
Example 4 - EPS graphic

spence1_rt
A user-contributed scientific example. Ploticus can generate EPS vector graphics that most document and word processing systems accept, and that are appropriate for pre-press work.

#
Example 5 - Paper

timely
In this example, horizontal rangebars are used to compare the timliness of problem resolution between a number of different centers.

#
Example 6 - Slide

errbar5
A slide for presentations.

#
Example 7 - Poster

(The following layout may not be correct if your browser window is too small)
propbars1
Posters for scientific meetings and presentations require larger size. Color is desirable, but not required. ploticus can generate posters using standard printers and paper. More info on producing posters

#
Example 8 - Paper

distrib
This elaborate example uses both histograms and rangebars to look at the distribution of scores. One data file is used, and ploticus computes the distributions for the histograms, and the medians/percentiles for the rangebars. Histograms are suppressed when N is less than 10.

#
Example 9 - Paper

multiscat
Here, a series of scatterplots are produced from one data file. Each #proc scatterplot has a select option that selects various sets of records. More info on producing paper-based graphs

#
Example 10 - Paper

errbar1
This example compares various quality-of-life attributes for two sets of persons who are in transition from homelessness. It uses categories, and #proc catslide to display pairs centered over the categories. The points, which represent averages, are rendered using #proc scatterplot; the error bars, which show the standard deviation, are rendered using #proc bars. More info on producing paper-based graphs
