Thread-topic: Fan charts
Hello,

Can Splus produce fan charts?  My investigations so far suggest not.

These charts usually have time as the x asis and some other variable as the
y-axis.  As each point in time there is a solid line, which is colour coded
along its length determined by some factor e.g. a probability.

They are a great favourite at the Bank of England for illustrating the possible
future values of interest rates.  The dark coloured regions suggesting a high
probability of an interest rate, and a light coloured region suggesting an
unlikely value of some interest rate.

kind regards



Phil,
