Description
The Plot Curve tool will allow the user to plot a curve into the
"PLOT". The user can plot this curve by
itself or on an axis using the Plot Axis Tool.
Using the Plot Curve Tool
Drag and Drop the "Plot" tool from the ROTMain and into the plot box on the plot curve tools inputs page.
Drag
and Drop a set of points or vectors from any tool that contains points
or vectors into the object to plot section of the tool. Select the
appropriate option from the drop down menu (for example if you are
looking for points, select points).
The tool's Parameters page will allow the viewing options of the curve to be changed.
ClearPlot: if this option is checked it will clear the plot screen completely before plotting this curve
Label: this allows the user to label the curve
Color:
the user can change the color of the curve for easier viewing by using
this option (just select on the color and a grid of colors to choose
from will appear)
If the user would like to plot the curve
within an axis the user needs to use the Plot Axis tool with it. The
plot axis tool will find the appropriate place to start and finish its
axis according to the curve. A line can also be implemented onto the
axis using the PlotLine tool.
Example:
This curve was plotted from a set of points from the Points Manual tool. It was plotted with the Plot Axis and the Plot Line tools also being used.
The curve was labeled "Blood Pressure".
The
Clear plot option was selected because the Plot Curve was entered first
and the Axis and Line were plotted after (that means that for those two
tools the Clear Plot option was not selected).
The Color was left red to let it be visible against the other two tools.
This
is how the curve will appear (the "Plot Line", "Plot Curve", and "Plot
Axis" labels will not normally be present they were put in so the user
could see the differences, the only labels that will appear are those
that the user labels the line).
