y Vs x Plotdis_xyplot.png

Plots two connected RTDB variables. The first connected variable is associated to the horizontal x axis while the second one is associated to the y axis.

Colors

Background Color

Background color of the plot.

Grid Color

Plot Properties

x Maximum Value

Maximum value expected for the variable connected to the x axis.

x Minimum Value

Minimum value expected for the variable connected to the x axis.

y Maximum Value

Maximum value expected for the variable connected to the y axis.

y Minimum Value

Minimum value expected for the variable connected to the y axis.

Number of Data Points

Number of data points to display. The number of data points is related to the Time span displayed by the plot via the following:

Time span (seconds) = (Number of data points)/(frame rate Hz))

Track Mode

In this mode, the plot display a single pair of values (x,y) over time. This mode can be used to show the position of an object over time. In the picture to the right we have an examples of 2 of this plots on top of each other to display the position of 2 objects.

Array XY plot

This mode is used to display a true XY plot where the X and Y values are provided by connecting the plot variables to a pair of RTDB arrays. The RTDB arrays should have the same length and the length will determine the number of pairs of data points displayed. In this mode the maximum X and Y axis ranges is not taken into consideration. Note that this mode is incompatible with the Track Mode described above.
See picture to the right for an example.
