Plot types

There are different types of plots in Harmony, and often the plots that are available for viewing depend on the datasets currently displayed.

For example, you can select a plot type from the drop-down menu in the Diagnostics tab:

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 are not apparent with 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 (for example, 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 is difficult or impossible to analyze on a coordinate plot.

An example of a log-Y plot:
