Stacked/Grouped Bab Plots (Category Plot)
-----------------------------------------

A category plot has an x-axis for the categories and a y-axis for the 
numeric values. Each category can display a value or text. Most often
the data is displayed as bars. The width and position of the bars is set
automatically. The bars in a category (group) can be stacked and/or displayed
side-by-side. Each bar can display ity y-value.

.. image:: S:/uniplot-obj/images/categorie.*

Only the x axis can be used as a category axis. The category axis starts with
0 and ends at the number of categories +1. The axis can be set as a category
axis in the :ref:`diagram-xyz-axis-parameters` dialog box.

.. image:: S:/uniplot-obj/images/category_1-en.*

The bars can only displayed vertical. All bars will have the identical width.
Between the bars and the categories a gap size can be specified.

For a category plot the x coordinates of datasets are ignored. The first
data point will be added the the first category. Only the first 1025
data points will be displayed in a category plot.

* To create a category plot choose ``Type = "Category Plot"`` in the data
  browser.

* For the "Label" field choose a channel to label the x-axis. This can be
  a real or string channel. 

* Drag all channels into a diagram or onto a document page.

The functions :ref:`NC_plotcategory` and :ref:`plotcategory` can be used
to create a category with UniScript. With :ref:`NC_plotcategory` a category 
plot can be created directly from an NC file. If the is already calculated
:ref:`plotcategory` can be invoked.
