2.1 - Creating a Scatter Plot - Tutorial

A scatter plot is a model of point data within a volume of space, optionally with colors representing data values.

 

To create a scatter plot:

  1. Click on the xyzc1.dat module in the Network Manager to select it. The selected module is highlighted.

  2. In the Module Manager, double-click on the ScatterPlot module name in the Graphics Output section of the list. Alternatively, right-click on xyzc1.dat in the Network Manager and select Graphics Output | ScatterPlot from the context menu.

A scatter plot is displayed in the Viewer window and the ScatterPlot module appears connected to the xyzc1.dat module in the Network Manager.

 

In the Module Manager, only the modules that can be used with the data type are listed if the Show All Modules button is not selected. The button is selected if it looks like this and not selected when it looks like this . In this example, we used point data, so the main graphics outputs are axes, bounding box, scatter plots, and vector plots. Other graphics, such as isosurfaces, need lattices as inputs so they are not listed when the button is not selected.
