## Examples - 'compare' prefab

Version 2.32
Prefabs

Manual page for Examples_-_'compare'_prefab(PL)

These examples all use the compare prefab.`` All of these examples are included in the distribution (`./pltestsuite/testpf_compare`).`` Gallery of ALL prefab examples

The compare prefab computes means and standard deviations from your data set, and then displays them as a collection of bars with error bars.``
Examples 1 thru 5 use the `dexa.dat` data file which looks like this (sample). Field 1 identifies the category, and field 2 (sex) identifies the subcategory. The other fields are variables that can be plotted.

## example 1 - comparison of one variable

    pl -prefab compare data=dexa.dat header=yes catfields=strain \
      y=RFbmc stubvert=yes barwidth=0.1 \
      "title= Comparison of one variable" "titledet= adjust=0,+0.4"

## example 2 - comparison of two variables, no subcats

    pl -prefab compare data=dexa.dat header=yes catfields=strain \
      y=RFbmc y2=LFbmc stubvert=yes barwidth=0.1 \
      "title= Comparison of two variables, no subcats" "titledet= adjust=0,+0.4"

## example 3 - comparison of four variables, no subcats

    pl -prefab compare data=dexa.dat header=yes catfields=strain \
      y=RFbmc y2=LFbmc y3=RFbmd y4=LFbmd  stubvert=yes \
      "title= Comparison of four variables, no subcats" \
      "titledet= adjust=0,+0.4"

## example 4 - comparison of two variables, with f & m subcats

    pl -prefab compare data=dexa.dat header=yes catfields=strain,sex \
      y=RFbmc y2=LFbmc leftsub=f rightsub=m stubvert=yes \
      "title= Comparison of two variables, with f & m subcats" \
      "titledet= adjust=0,+0.4"

## example 5 - comparison of four variables, with f & m subcats

    pl -prefab compare data=dexa.dat header=yes catfields=strain,sex \
      "rectangle= 1 2 8 4"  -pagesize 9,5 \
      y=RFbmc y2=LFbmc y3=RFbmd y4=LFbmd leftsub=f rightsub=m stubvert=yes \
      "title= Comparison of four variables, with f & m subcats" \
      "titledet= adjust=0,+0.4"

## example 6 - comparison of four conditionally-selected variables

     pl -prefab compare data=data28 header=yes catfields=strain \
        "rectangle=1 2 6 5"  \
        y=pct_mac y2=pct_mac y3=pct_mac y4=pct_mac  \
        "ptselect= @sactime = 0 && @inj = trt" \
        "ptselect2= @sactime = 24 && @inj = trt" \
        "ptselect3= @sactime = 48 && @inj = trt" \
        "ptselect4= @sactime = 72 && @inj = trt" \
         ptselecttags=0,24,48,72 \
