This plot shows all parameters (input, output, objectives and constraints) for all designs. The failed designs are pink, the deactivated designs are grey, incomplete designs are violet, and the selected designs are red. Each parameter has two sliders to define a lower and an upper bound. Designs outside these bounds are also colored grey. You can select designs in the Common settings pane. You can hide certain parameters or change their displayed order using the context menu.
