Plot types

There are different types of plots in Harmony Enterprise, 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.
