Curve Plot#

The Curve Plot is one of the plots available on the Data Manager. Its name comes from the way data are represented: a curve.

Dimension (mandatory fields are in bold)	Type	Description
X	axis/grid	It controls the coordinate used on the x-axis.
Y	output	It controls the associated y output value for any dataset point.
Color	target	It controls the marker or line color of the various created traces.
Style	target	It controls the marker style or the line dashing of the various created traces.
Size	target	It controls the marker size or the line width of the various created traces.

Plot option menu add-ons#

In the Plot options menu, if a curve plot has been chosen, users can find some extra options:

Curve display: it establishes if lines or markers should be drawn on the plot; possible values are:
- lines: only lines are drawn.
- markers: only markers are drawn.
- lines + markers: both are drawn.
Filling area: it establishes if a colorful area should be drawn below the curve; possible values are
- none: no area is painted.
- vertical: the area between the curve and the x-axis is painted.
- horizontal: the area between the curve and the y-axis is painted.

Y dimension menu add-ons#

Since Y dimension is an output dimension, and since this plot has more than one target dimension, a dedicated entry in the dimension option menu is added to allow users to customize the target attribute to be used if multiple output attributes have been defined. The option name is Target ignored (in case of multiple output), due to the fact that the used attribute will become disabled and its content will be ignored until there will no longer be a multiple output attribute definition.
