In an Annotate data set, the value of the FUNCTION variable specifies what
action the observation performs. Annotate functions act in conjunction with
the other Annotate variables that determine where and how to perform the action.
Many of these variables are function dependent, that is, what they do depends
on the function they are used with. For example, with the LABEL function the
STYLE variable specifies a font; with the BAR function, STYLE specifies a
pattern.
This section describes all of the values of the FUNCTION
variable. For each function it
- describes the function's action.
- notes whether the function updates the internal
coordinate variables XLAST, YLAST and XLSTT, YLSTT.
- describes how other Annotate variables behave
with the function. The variables that are used with each function are listed
in Annotate Variables used with Annotate Functions.
For a complete description of each variable, see Annotate Variables.
For a
summary of drawing and programming tasks performed
by the FUNCTION variable, see Summary of Graphics Tasks Performed by Annotate Functions.
