# Display Plot (Dp) module

class vcs.displayplot.Dp(Dp_name, Dp_name_src='default', parent=None)[source]

The Display plot object allows the manipulation of the plot name, off, priority, template, graphics type, graphics name, and data array(s).

This class is used to define a display plot table entry used in VCS, or it can be used to change some or all of the display plot attributes in an existing display plot table entry.

Useful Functions:
# Canvas constructor
a=vcs.init()
# Show display plot objects
a.show('plot')
# Updates the VCS Canvas at user's request
a.update()
General display plot usage:
#Create a VCS Canvas object
a=vcs.init()
#To Create a new instance of plot:
# Create a plot object
p1=a.plot(s)
#To Modify an existing plot in use:
p1=a.getplot('dpy_plot_1')
Display plot object attributes:
# Will list all the display plot attributes
p1.list()
# "On" or "Off" status, 1=on, 0=off
p1.off=1
# Priority to place plot in front of other objects

# Name of template object
p1.template='quick'
# Graphics method type
