Details

A diagonal upload pattern plot displays for each encounter date ($x$-axis) whether or not new data was received at each upload date ($y$-axis). A horizontal upload pattern plot displays for each encounter date ($x$-axis) whether or not new data were received $y$ days after the encounter date. Note that this function calls the "stackedUploadData" which should only be used on count data. If data were received containing 0 or negative counts, pixels are colored in gray. Otherwise they are dark blue.
