Generating a CrossPlot Graph

CrossPlot graphs show summary data that applies to two different dimensions. CrossPlot graph types include bar graphs, line graphs, and point graphs.

To convert the contents of an active dive window to a CrossPlot graph:

  1. On the Console, double-click the first dimension that you want to include in the graph.

  2. On the toolbar, click the Graph icon.

    The Select Graph Type Closeddialog box opens. This is the first step in the graph creation wizard.

    TIP: Click a graph type to see a description in the Description box.

    The Select Graph Type dialog box.

  3. In the Categories box, select Cross Plots.

  4. In the Types box, select the type of cross plot to create, and then click Next.

    The Set Data Attributes dialog box opens. The data attribute options vary, depending on the selected graph type. This Closedexample shows data attributes for a Line CrossPlot graph.

    The Set Data Attributes dialog box.

  5. In the Row Name boxes, select up to 16 values from the current dimension to view in the graph.
  6. In the Cross Dimension box, select a second dimension to view in addition to the dimension on which you are diving.
  7. In the Data Column box, select a column.

  8. Optionally, to generate a Closedthree dimensional view of the graph, select 3D Relief.

  9. Click Finish.
  10. The graph appears in the dive window.
