Plotter
ptolemy.actor.lib.gui.Plotter

Base class for plotters. This class contains an instance of the Plot class from the Ptolemy plot package as a public member. It provides a parameter that determines whether to fill the plot when wrapup is invoked. It also has a legend parameter, which gives a comma-separated list of labels to attach to each dataset. Normally, the number of elements in this list should equal the number of input channels, although this is not enforced.

This actor also provides a parameter startingDataset, which specifies the starting point for the number of the dataset to use to create the plots. This defaults to zero, but will typically be set to a positive number when more than one instance of a plotter actor shares the same plot object.
