Double-Y Graphs in Single Layer

This version supports plotting Double-Y graphs in a single layer, allowing easier manipulation and analysis of plotted data:

  • Set scale of right Y axis to be independent of left Y
  • Easily assign or switch plots to be associated with left or right Y axis
  • Work with sub group of plots based on left or right Y axis
  • Gadgets and other analysis tools will work on all curves in layer and will appropriately use the associated Y scale of the plot

Smart Skipping of Symbols for Large Datasets

New methods have been added to skip symbols when plotting large datasets as symbol or line+symbol plots. This allows for a nicer presentation of data while maintaining overall features of the data. All analysis operations on graph will take into account the entire dataset. The control is available in the Drop Lines tab of Plot Details dialog

  • Select between Total Points Kept or Percentage of Points Skipped
  • Select from multiple skip methods (Largest Triangle, Y-threshold, Data Distance Threshold, Douglas-Peucker-Hull, Largest Triangle for Segments)

Line-Symbol Plot with automatic X value sorting

Perform automatic X value sorting of data in line or line-symbol plots without having to sort the worksheet columns. This is particularly useful when you have multiple columns in a worksheet and want to plot any two columns against each other, without having to reorder the worksheet rows.

Apply x value sorting to a particular data plot with this LabTalk script command:
layer.plot1.line.sortx=1;

Once sorted, the graph can be saved as a template for future use, if desired.

Angle Annotation Tool

A new tool for angle annotation in graphs has been added in this version.

  • Click and select three points in a graph to add the angle annotation
  • Further customize the annotation using Mini Toolbar or properties dialog
