Plot a Rose plot of up to 8 channels.
Parameters:
Returns:

Nothing
Return type:

None

New in version 5.0.7.

Note:

The number of channels is taken from the Data handles VV.
The values in each data VV give the radius, in view units,
of the sector arc to plots. Values <=0 or dummies are not
plotted.

Offset symbols: When selected, the symbols plot without
overlap, away from the original locations. The original
location is marked with a small symbol and a line joins the
original position and the relocated symbol.
Care should be taken when choosing the symbol size, because
if the point density is too high, all the points will get
pushed to the outside edge and your plot will look like a
hedgehog (it also takes a lot longer!).
static rose_plot2((GXContext)ctx, (GXMVIEW)arg1, (str)arg2, (str)arg3, (GXVV)arg4, (GXVV)arg5, (GXVV)arg6, (GXVV)arg7, (int)arg8, (int)arg9, (float)arg10, (float)arg11) → None:

Nothing
Return type:

None

New in version 5.1.5.

New in version 6.2.0.

Note:

This function would normally be called after
AAGetLithogeochemData_CHIMERA to write processed values
back into a database, in the correct lines,
and in the correct fiducial locations wrt the
other data. The book-keeping VVs would all be
set up in AAGetLithogeochemData_CHIMERA.

Values NOT in the data (missing indices) will
be initialized to dummy if the channel is new,
or if the value in the last VV below is set to 1.

New channel types will be set using the data VV type.
Any meta data (CLASS, display formats) should be set separately.

is best as the input.
