Diagram Types

Utilizing Diagram Types enables users to add and configure various property curves, allowing large datasets and test data to be added to the desired materials, thus improving data organization and visualization.

Configuring Diagram Types: A Step-by-Step Guide

Define your diagram type

• Define desired diagram type in "Diagram Type" text box (e.g. “Modulus of Elasticity”).

• Define desired Property Group from the property group drop-down list (e.g. “Physical Properties / General”).

• Define desired "Display name".

• Specify the position of the diagram legend.

• Define minimum number of points for setting the diagram (three points by default).

• Check if Y2 axis should displayed by selecting "Show Y2 axis".

• Define "Axis name" (both for X and Y-axis) or Y2 if previously defined.

• Define "Axis Unit Groups" name (both for X and Y-axis) or Y2 if previously defined. E.g. X-axis = “Temperature – [°C]”, Y-axis = “Modulus/Hardness – [GPa]”. For more details on Units configuration click the link.

• Define if the axis is logarithmic by selecting check box "Logarithmic" for each axis.

• Set desired formatting of values for each axis (X, Y, Y2) by clicking "Format number" link. By default, “None” as format type is selected, which represents that no formatting is applied. Numbers are displayed as entered. Formating can be set for both metric and imperial units by clicking the slider.
