plotAlternativesValuesPreorder

alternatives

A list of alternatives. Alternatives can be activated or desactivated via the <active> tag (true or false). By default (no <active> tag), alternatives are considered as active.

The input value should be a valid XMCDA document whose main tag is <alternatives>. It must have the following form:

<alternatives>
        <alternative>
                <active>[...]</active>
                [...]
        </alternative>
        [...]
</alternatives>

alternativesValues

A list of <alternativesValue> representing a certain numeric quantity for each alternative, like, e.g., an overall value.

The input value should be a valid XMCDA document whose main tag is <alternativesValues>.

parameters

Generates a graph taking into account the proposed options.

The input value should be a valid XMCDA document whose main tag is <programParameters>. It must have the following form:
