Table Point
Use a Table Point () to plot the points in a table. Right-click a 2D Plot Group to add this plot type from the More Point Plots submenu. This plot is also available by selecting Table Point () from the Table window’s toolbar.
Go to Common Results Node Settings for links to information about these sections: Title, Range, Coloring and Style, and Inherit Style.
Data
From the Source list, choose Table or Evaluation group, and then choose a table or evaluation group table with the data that you want to plot as a point plot from the Table or Evaluation group list below.
From the Data format list, select one of the following formats for interpreting the table data:
•
Select Filled table if the data is structurally filled (for tables only; this option is not available for evaluation groups). See Filled Table for additional settings for this data format.
•
Select Columns (the default) if you want to specify what columns to take the data from. See Columns for additional settings for this format.
•
Select Cells to treat the tables data as cells in a matrix and use the table row and column numbers as the x- and y-coordinates, respectively. There are no additional settings for this format.
Filled Table
Select an option from the Plot data list: From table (the default) or Manual. If Manual is selected, select options from the x-axis data and y-axis data lists, which contain the parameters that define the rows and columns for the table’s matrix data, and from the Data list, which corresponds to the Data list in the Table node for the matrix data. If there are additional parameters in a parametric sweep, they need to be kept at fixed values, which you select from the Parameter value list, which contains all combinations of parameter values for the parameters that are not used as x-axis or y-axis data.
Columns
From the x-axis column, y-axis column, and Data column lists, choose the columns to use for the x-axis, y-axis, and the data, respectively.
For all data formats, select the Plot imaginary part check box if you want to plot the imaginary part of complex-valued data. For real-valued data, that plot shows a zero imaginary part.
Preprocessing
This section contains settings to preprocess the data in the table point plot by scaling and shifting the data values, which can be useful to match data from different sources or to scale some data to express the values in another unit.
Under x-axis column, y-axis column, and Data column, from the Transformation list select:
•
None (the default), for no preprocessing of the data.
•
Linear, to preprocess the data using a linear transformation of the data values for the x- or y-axis column or the data column. You define the linear preprocessing with values for the scaling (default: 1) and the shift or offset (default: 0) in the Scaling and Shift fields, respectively. The default values do not change the original data values.
