Plot Types
Click to see Subtopics:There are different types of plots in Harmony:
- Coordinate (Cartesian)
- Logarithmic (Log-Log)
- Semi-log (Log-X and log-Y)
You can select a plot type from the drop-down menu in the Diagnostics tab:
Note: The plot types that are available depend on the type of analysis you are performing.
Coordinate Plots
Coordinate (also called 'Cartesian') plots display data in a 1:1 ratio with no manipulation of the axes.
An example of a coordinate plot:
Log-Log Plots
Log-log plots use logarithmic scales on the x and y axes to stretch data in order to view trends in the data that would not be apparent on Cartesian coordinates.
An example of a log-log plot:
Log-X Plots
In log-X plots, the scale of the x axis increases exponentially. Manipulating the y axis in this way places emphasis on a specific portion of the data set (e.g., semi-log time emphasizes early time data).
An example of a log-X plot:
Log-Y Plots
In log-Y plots, the scale of the y axis increases exponentially. Manipulating the x axis in this way normalizes a large range of data that would be difficult or impossible to analyze on a coordinate plot.
An example of a log-Y plot:
