This chapter provides information about the PHPlot class member variables and constants.
Most PHPlot class member variables are meant for internal use only, and are declared to have protected visibility (starting with PHPlot-6.0.0). This means they are not accessible from your application, unless you define a class that extends PHPlot. All these member variables are subject to change in future releases without concern for backward compatibility.
One exception is the plot tuning variables, which have public visibility. Section 4.7, “Tuning Parameters” describes how these PHPlot member variables can be used to adjust plot appearance. Setting them from your application is generally safe, as they have relatively small effects on plots, and are less likely to change in future releases.
A few additional member class variables have public visibility, due to past
use in applications, but you should avoid using them. This includes
img, the GD image resource, and fonts,
the array of font information.
The table below lists the PHPlot class member variables.
The initial values are listed under Default Value. Variables which are declared but not initialized at the top of the PHPlot class definition have nothing in this column. They can be considered to have an initial value of NULL, which is significant for some variables but not for others.
The Reference Function column lists the member function(s) used to set the variable, if the variable can be set by the application, else the member function which calculates the variable, if there is one, else the member function(s) which use the variable, if there are only a few.
Variables which hold color values are initialized to defaults using SetDefaultStyles when a PHPlot object is created. For the default colors, see Section 3.5.5, “Plot Element Colors”.
