## Description

This is the object that visualizes data. To manipulate the data shown in the plot, use `gog_plot_new_series()` and `gog_plot_clear_series()`

Plots are implemented as plug-ins, so make sure the plug-in system is initialized before trying to create one. See `go_plugins_init()`

GOffice ships a number of common plot implementations by default.

## Functions

    GogPlotDesc const *
    gog_plot_description (GogPlot const *plot);

[skip]

#### Parameters

plot | GogPlot |

#### Returns

the GogPlotDesc for `plot` .

[transfer none]

### gog_plot_foreach_elem ()

    void
    gog_plot_foreach_elem (GogPlot *plot,
                           gboolean only_visible,
                           GogEnumFunc handler,
                           gpointer data);

Executes `funcfor` each plot element. Used to build a legend.

#### Parameters

plot | GogPlot |
only_visible | whether to restrict to visible elements. |
handler | GogEnumFunc. | [scope call]
data | user data for `func` |

### gog_plot_get_axis ()

    GogAxis *
    gog_plot_get_axis (GogPlot const *plot,
                       GogAxisType type);

#### Parameters

plot | GogPlot |

### gog_plot_get_axis_bounds ()

    GOData *

                              GogPlotBoundInfo *bounds);

Queries `plot` for its axis preferences for `axis` and stores the results in `bounds` . All elements of `bounds` are initialized to sane values before the query _EXCEPT_ ::fmt. The caller is responsible for initializing it. This is done so that once on plot has selected a format the others need not do the lookup too if so desired.

Caller is responsible for unrefing ::fmt.

#### Parameters

plot | GogPlot |
axis | GogAxisType |
bounds | GogPlotBoundInfo |

#### Returns

The data providing the bound (does not add a ref).
