Splitting data : Diurnal plot (as box plot)

Share icon

Hello, I received a fragment of code from "hegedus" ("Mon, 08/26/2019 - 10:39 pm") to split data into several bins. 

The piece of original code was to separate data over Bins from 0 to 0.1. 

Original code 

function SplitData(Xin,Yin)
    wave Xin,Yin
   
    variable index
    For(index=0;index<1;index+=.1)
        Extract /O Yin, $("G"+num2str((index)*10)), Xin>index && Xin<(Index+0.1)
    endfor
end

I would like to modify this code for a diurnal plot. My Xin wave is now a datawave containing numbers 0 through to 23 (for hours) and my Yin wave is the data that I would like to average over Xin (both waves are of the same length) . 

The modified code is  

function SplitData(Xin,Yin)
    
    wave Xin,Yin
    
    Make/o/N=23/T GroupLabel
    groupLabel = num2str(x/1)
   
    variable index
    For(index=0;index<23;index+=1)
        Extract /O Yin, $("B"+num2str((index)*1)), Xin>index && Xin<(Index+1)
    endfor
end

However, this code creates 23 waves B0....to B23, but is not extracting the Yin data into these waves.

I am having trouble seeing my error. 

If you can help I would appreciate it. 

Thanks

 

 

 

Can you share the data?  I would double check the Xin data and type.

Hi,

Tweaked it a bit.

GroupLabel should be 24 points (0-23) and no need for the division by 1.

Second since you have the hours already defined in the Xin you can use a simple test for equality.

Third I removed the *1 in the wave name portion.  I had used *10 before to create wave names but the decimal needed to be removed for the name.

function SplitData(Xin,Yin)
   
    wave Xin,Yin
   
    Make/o/N=24/T GroupLabel
    groupLabel = num2str(x)
   
    variable index
    For(index=0;index<24;index+=1)
        Extract /O Yin, $("B"+num2str(index)), Xin==index
    endfor
end

The box plot is shown as created by IP8.

Hello again Andy, 

Thank you very much. This worked nicely, and I managed to make the box plot with the data points included using IP6!! It just took a bit more time :)
