 Plotterparameters
===================

Plotterparameters are a subset of parameters defined in the ``parameter`` section of a specified ``plotter`` (see :ref:`beat-system-plotters`) \. They can be used to manipulate the appearance of the produced figure by that plotter, such as font size, legends, etc. They consist of only `JSON`_ declaration since there is no source code needed for such functionality. Here is an example of plotterparameter created for a bar plotter:

.. code-block:: json

	{
	    "plotter": "plot/bar/1",
	    "data": {
	        "title-fontsize": 12,
	        "bar-norm": true,
	        "axis-fontsize": 10,
	        "height": 600,
	        "width": 800,
	        "grid": true,
	        "bar-alpha": 0.75,
	        "legend-fontsize": 8,
	        "legend-loc": "best",
	        "dpi": 120
	    },
	    "description": "Default parameters for bar plots"
	}

In the example above the **data** are the parameters which are going to be set in the *parameter* section of ``plot/bar/1`` plotter.
