Select "Quit" to exit the demo.
Select "About 2-D Plotting" to display this help text.
In this demo, different controls appear on the interface when different types of plots are selected.The data plotted is generated automatically by the demo application; you can generate new data by clicking the "Generate New Data" button.
Select a plot type from the set of radio buttons at the top left of the demo window.
Display an X versus Y plot of a damped sine wave. NOTE: the data set for the Line Plot display cannot be changed.
Adjust this slider to change the period of the sinusoidal signal.
Display the generated data set using symbols.
Generate a new data set of random values added to a sine function. The variance of the random signal is set by the slider.
Select a symbol to be plotted at the data points from the scrolling list.
Display a histogram, or "bar" plot.
Generate a new data set of random values added to a sine function. The variance of the random signal is set by the slider.
Display a polar plot. The data coordinates are given in spherical coordinates.
Select a color for the plot line from the list.
Display a log-log plot.
Adjust this slider to change the line thickness. Line thicknesses range from 1 to 5.
Display a semi-log plot.
Change the X position of the text annotation.
Change the Y position of the text annotation.
Click this button to generate a new data set for display in the plotting window.
