The XY Plots module is a group of panels that perform operations on plots and the curves displayed on those plots.

To access the XY Plots module, select the XY Plots drop-down menu.

The xy plotting panels are described below:

Axis Labels

The Axis Labels panel allows you to modify the x and y axes titles and labels. You can also change the color and font size used to display these entities.  

Axis Scaling

The Axis Scaling panel allows you to modify the starting and ending values of the plot axes.  You can set the values explicitly or implicitly by using the panel functions such as find curves, circle zoom, and zoom out.

Border

The Border panel allows you to change the thickness and color of the border around the plot.  You may also specify whether the border is displayed and the size of the margin between the border and the plot.

Curve Attribs

The Curve Attribs panel allows you to change the color, marker style (used to indicate the point location), thickness and the line style (solid, dashed, and so on).  You can apply a scaling factor to the original data points.   You can also change the curve title that appears in the legend.

Edit Curves

Creates and modifies the curves in the database.  This panel allows you to read data vectors from files as well as perform advanced mathematical operations on curves.

Grid Attribs

The Grid Attribs panel allows you to change the color, line style, thickness of the grid lines, and the margin displayed around the grid lines.

Grid Labels

The Grid Labels panel allows you to change the color, font, and number of significant places in the labels.  Grid labels appear along the x and y axes in the plot (tick marks).

Integrate

Calculates and displays the integral of a curve.

Legend

The Legend panel allows you to change the location and the font used to display the legend.

Plot Titles

The Plot Titles panel allows you to change the plot title, subtitle, and label.  In addition, you can change the color and font size used to display these entities.

Plots

Allows you to create an xy plot and assign curves to the xy plot.

Query Curves

Allows you to determine the coordinate values of points in a curve.

Read Curves

Reads curves from an ASCII file.

Rename

Allows you to rename curves.

Results Curves

Generates a curve from the currently-selected results file.

Simple Math

Allows you to perform simple mathematical calculations on a curve.

In addition, you can use the Curve Editor to view and modify curves already defined in your model.
