High-Low-Close Graphs

You can use the option STYLE=VERTICAL on GRAPH for high-low-close graphs and the like. At each entry, it draws a line connecting the highest and lowest values and puts hash marks at the locations of the series. If there are three or more series, it puts a filled circle on the first series so it can be picked out easily.

The example GRAPHHIGHLOW.RPF generates annual values for maximum, minimum and close from monthly data. The “close” series (DJLAST here) should be listed on the first supplementary card so it gets tagged with the circle.
