Description

The FEM PostLineplot function creates a lineplot based on data from a selected pipeline or filter.

Usage

1. There are several ways to invoke the command:
   • Press the Create Lineplot button.
   • Select the Results → Data Visualizations → Create Lineplot option from the menu.
2. The Task panel is opened.
3. Press the Add data from button, select a pipeline or filter as a data source and one of two types of plot from the drop-down list:
   • add FieldData - X and Y axes can be configured to show any output variables, results are taken from all nodes; if the One Y field for each frame checkbox is enabled, there is a separate curve representing Y axis field output for each frame
   • add IndexOverFrames - Y axis can be configured to show any output variable, X axis shows time/frequency (based on the frames), results are taken only from a node with a specified index (number)
4. Configure the plot:
   • Press the middle button by default showing Position (X) to set the X/Y axis data and index.
   • Press the 3rd button from the left by default showing blue line to set the plot line appearance.
   • Press the rightmost button with X symbol to delete the plot object.
5. Set Lineplot view settings - show or hide Grid, Legend and its location, axis scale and type the labels (Title, X Axis, Y Axis).
6. Press the Show plot button to display the plot.
7. Press the Show data button to display a table with data used for the plot.
8. Press the OK button to finish and close the task panel.
