Although the content of a chart will be tailored to the application that is displaying it, there are a standard set of charts that you might see in Workbench.

XY Plot

Plots lines, points, steps, bars, splines, scatter, or shaded regions in two dimensions.

XYZ Plot

Plots lines, points, steps, bars, splines, scatter, or shaded regions in three dimensions.

Pie Chart

Displays variables as proportionally sized segments of a circle. If a variable to be displayed has no value, that variable displays as a ring around the circle.

Spider Chart

Displays variables as proportionally sized segments of a circle, in multiple dimensions. Good for displaying between three and ten variables. Can usually be displayed as a parallel coordinate plot also.

Parallel Coordinate Plot

Displays variables (for example, design points.) using parallel Y axes to represent all of the inputs and outputs. Selecting an axis allows you to filter the variables shown by dragging the arrows at the ends of the axis. Variables with points outside of the axis range are eliminated from the chart. Can usually be displayed as a spider chart also.

Correlation Matrix

Displays how closely the various input and output parameters are coupled. The strength of correlation is indicated by color in the matrix.
