#### 21.2.2 XYPlot Types

The following types are available:

`FL_NORMAL_XYPLOT`

  A solid line is drawn through the data points.

`FL_SQUARE_XYPLOT`

  Data drawn as a solid line plus squares at data points.

`FL_CIRCLE_XYPLOT`

  Data drawn as a solid line plus circles at data points.

`FL_FILL_XYPLOT`

  Data drawn as a solid line with the area under the curve filled. Only data points are drawn with. per default, stars.

`FL_LINEPOINTS_XYPLOT`

  Data drawn as a solid line plus, per default, stars at data point.

`FL_DASHED_XYPLOT`

  Data drawn as a dashed line.

`FL_DOTTED_XYPLOT`

  Data drawn as a dotted line.

`FL_DOTDASHED_XYPLOT`

  Data drawn as a dash-dot-dash line.

`FL_IMPULSE_XYPLOT`

  Data drawn by vertical lines.

`FL_ACTIVE_XYPLOT`

  Data drawn as a solid line plus squares at data points, accepting manipulations.

`FL_EMPTY_XYPLOT`

  Only the axes are drawn.

All xyplots per default display the curve auto-scaled to fit the plotting area. Although there is no limitation on the actual data, a non-monotonic increasing (or decreasing) x-axis might be plotted incorrectly.

XYPlots of type `FL_POINTS_XYPLOT` and `FL_LINEPOINTS_XYPLOT` are special in that the application can change the symbol drawn on the data point.
