    \filetitle{stem}{Plot tseries as discrete sequence data}{tseries/stem}

	\paragraph{Syntax}

\begin{verbatim}
[h,range] = stem(x,...)
[h,range] = stem(range,x,...)
[h,range] = stem(a,range,x,...)
\end{verbatim}

\paragraph{Input arguments}

\begin{itemize}
\item
  \texttt{a} {[} numeric {]} - Handle to axes in which the graph will be
  plotted; if not specified, the current axes will used.
\item
  \texttt{range} {[} numeric {]} - Date range; if not specified the
  entire range of the input tseries object will be plotted.
\item
  \texttt{x} {[} tseries {]} - Input tseries object whose columns will
  be ploted as a stem graph.
\end{itemize}

\paragraph{Output arguments}

\begin{itemize}
\item
  \texttt{h} {[} numeric {]} - Vector of handles to the stems plotted.
\item
  \texttt{range} {[} numeric {]} - Actually plotted date range.
\end{itemize}

\paragraph{Options}

\begin{itemize}
\item
  \texttt{'dateformat='} {[} char \textbar{}
  \emph{irisget(`plotdateformat')} {]} - Date format for the tick marks
  on the x-axis.
\item
  \texttt{'datetick='} {[} numeric \textbar{} \emph{\texttt{Inf}} {]} -
  Vector of dates locating tick marks on the x-axis; Inf means they will
  be created automatically.
\item
  \texttt{'tight='} {[} \texttt{true} \textbar{} \emph{\texttt{false}}
  {]} - Make the y-axis tight.
\end{itemize}

See help on built-in \texttt{stem} function for other options available.
