Working with Traces in RMxprt
A trace in a 2D or 3D report defines one or more curves on a graph. A trace in a data table defines part of the displayed matrix of text values.
The values used for a plot's axes can be variables in the design or functions and expressions based on the design's solutions. If you have solved one or more variables at several values, you can "sweep" over some or all of those values, resulting in a curve in 2D or 3D space.
A report can include any number of traces and, for rectangular graphs, up to four independent y-axes.
In general, to add a trace to a report:
- In the Traces dialog box, specify the information you want to plot along the appropriate axes.
- Click Add Trace.
A trace is added to the traces list at the top of the Traces dialog box. The trace represents the function of the quantity you selected and will be plotted against other quantities or swept variable values. Each column lists an axis on the report and the information that will be plotted on that axis.
You can modify the information to be plotted by typing the name of the quantity or sweep variable to plot along an axis directly in the boxes.
The trace will be visible in the report when you click Done.
