Target Diagram Options

An exhaustive list of options is available to customize the appearance of the target diagram and are listed below for convenience of reference. The format for their use is "option" followed by "value". For example, to produce a target diagram that labels the points and changes the axis options for BIAS and CRMSD, the command would appear as (cf. target2.m)

[hp, ht, axl] = target_diagram(bias,crmsd,rmsd, 'markerLabel',label, 'ticks',-50.0:10.0:50.0);

These options can also be obtained by calling the target diagram function without arguments:

>> target_diagram

General Options

overlay	'on' / 'off' (default): Switch to overlay current statistics on target diagram. Only markers will be displayed.
colormap	'on' / 'off' (default): Switch to map color shading of markers to colormap ("on") or min to max range of RMSDz values ("off"). Set to same value as option "nonRMSDz".

Marker Options

MarkerDisplayed	'marker' (default): Experiments are represented by individual symbols
	'colorBar': Experiments are represented by a color described n a colorbar

Options when MarkerDisplayed is 'marker'

markerColor	Single color to use for all markers. Can be specified as a short name (e.g. "r") or an RGB triplet (e.g. [1, 0, 0]). (Default: red)
markerLabel	Labels for markers
markerLabelColor	Marker label color. Can be specified as a short name (e.g. "k") or an RGB triplet (e.g. [0, 0, 0]). (Default: black)
markerLegend	'on' / 'off' (default): Use legend for markers
markerSize	Marker size (Default: 10)
markerSymbol	Marker symbol (Default: 'o')

Options when MarkerDisplayed is 'colorbar'

CMapZData	Data values to use for color mapping of markers, e.g. RMSD or BIAS. (Used to make range of values appear above color bar.)
titleColorBar	Title of the colorbar.

Axes Options

ticks	define tick positions (default is that used by axis function)
xtickLabelPos	position of the tick labels along the x-axis (empty by default)
ytickLabelPos	position of the tick labels along the y-axis (empty by default)
equalAxes	'on' / 'off' (default): Set axes to be equal
limitAxis	Max for the Bias & uRMSD axis'on' / 'off' (default): Set axes to be equal

Diagram Options

alpha	Blending of symbol face color (0.0 transparent through 1.0 opaque)
axismax	Maximum for the Bias & uRMSD axis
circles	define the radii of circles to draw (default of (maximum RMSDs)*[.7 1], [.7 1] when normalized diagram)
circleLineSpec	Circle line specification (default dashed black, '--k')
circleLineWidth	Circle line width
obsUncertainty	Observational Uncertainty (default of 0)
normalized	'on' / 'off' (default): normalized target diagram
