<p><a name="index-series-objects-1587"></a><a name="index-stem-series-1588"></a>
Stem series objects are created by the <code>stem</code> or <code>stem3</code>
functions. Each <code>hggroup</code> element contains a single line object
as a child representing the stems. The properties of the stem series
are
<dl>
<dt><code>showbaseline</code><dt><code>baseline</code><dt><code>basevalue</code><dd>The property <code>showbaseline</code> flags whether the baseline of the
stem series is displayed (default is "on"). The handle of the graphics
object representing the baseline is given by the <code>baseline</code>
property and the y-value (or z-value for <code>stem3</code>) of the baseline
by the <code>basevalue</code> property.
<p>Changes to any of these property are propagated to the other members of
the stem series and to the baseline itself. Equally changes in the
properties of the base line itself are propagated to the members of the
corresponding stem series.
<br><dt><code>color</code><dd>The RGB color or color name of the line objects of the stems. See <a href="Colors.html#Colors">Colors</a>.
<br><dt><code>linewidth</code><dt><code>linestyle</code><dd>The line width and style of the line objects of the stems. See <a href="Line-Styles.html#Line-Styles">Line Styles</a>.
<br><dt><code>marker</code><dt><code>markeredgecolor</code><dt><code>markerfacecolor</code><dt><code>markersize</code><dd>The line and fill color of the markers on the stems. See <a href="Colors.html#Colors">Colors</a>.
<br><dt><code>xdata</code><dt><code>ydata</code><dt><code>zdata</code><dd>The original x, y and z data of the stems.
<br><dt><code>xdatasource</code><dt><code>ydatasource</code><dt><code>zdatasource</code><dd>Data source variables.
