Scatter plot graphs, more than 2 series possible?

It's been very difficult for me to put 3 or 4 series of data in scatter graphs and connect the dots with lines as in Excel, it just doesn't allow me. I made a graph before using line graph model but it turns out that in the x axis (which in this case is time in weeks) I need to show the distance proportionally (i.e. 0,2,6,12 and 16 weeks) and I can't find how to do it with a simple line graph. Tried in excel and is easy using the scatter plot graph (very simple, using exactly the same data arrangement). But numbers does not accept the series of data (it only accepts X,Y per series) and in second place there is not lines connecting the dots. Any of you guys have a suggestion?. I'd really prefer to use numbers bit do not why is so difficult to scatter graph the data. Thanks

The default for X-Y pairs can actually be pretty handy, though often it is not. You can easily turn it into one X and a bunch of Y's. Connecting lines are also available.
My assumption from your post is you have a column of X values and several columns of Y values.
1) All data for a scatter plot must be in "normal" data cells, none in header cells.
2) Select all the X & Y data and create a scatter chart.
3) There is a "gear" at the top left of the colored box in the table that indicates the data in the chart. Click it and choose to share X values. Now you should have one column labeled "X" and several labeled "Y" and your chart will show each Y as a separate series.
4) With the chart selected (the whole chart, not one of the series), go to the Chart tab of the inspector, go to the series tab, look for the words "connect points" and choose what kind of line you want to connect the points. Alternatively or additionally, you could make trendline curves by clicking on "advanced". Also, you can do them one at a time and choose different settings for each series by selecting each series separately.
If you have gaps in your Y data, it will not connect the points on either side of the gap, you will have a missing line segment.
If your X data is unsorted, some connecting lines may go right-to-left, not left-to-right.

Why won't my data appear on my scatter plot graph in numbers?

I'm making a scatter plot graph and I'm dealing with very small numbers on my x-axis, such as 0.0004 and 0.184 on my y-axis. Every time I plot the scatter plot graph, nothing appears on the graph. Can anyone please help me? Thanks.

just to check in your notification centre,(settings>Notification centre>Messages) did you enable show alerts from everyone? if so
Do a reset by holding the power and home button until the apple logo appears ignoring the slide to power off (no data loss).

Scatter Plot With Multiple Data Series

Hello,
I would greatly appreciate any help you guys could give me.
I need one scatter plot that shows 4 different groups of data. They all go with the same X and Y axis values, though.
I can get a scatter graph with ONE group, but it won't let me add in another one. I tried the clicking and dragging the new cells, and the shift clicking, but the data just will not go into the chart. It's like it doesn't recognize it.
I think I read something about sharing the X values? But I don't know how to do that?
Thanks a ton in advance!!

Pop,
Badunit's example is one possible arrangement that you might have described; that is, one column for X values and several columns for Y values. This is the case when you should respond that you are sharing X-values. With all the data in one table, you can select it all at once, so you don't have the problem with dragging additional series into the chart.
The Numbers User Guide PDF's first chapter is the place to start getting your bearings - you will learn how to distinguish Header vs. Body rows and columns. It's worth the effort to take another look at it.
Since you are using a Scatter Chart, it's important not to use a header column for X because X values must be Numeric, as opposed to Text.

Scatter plots / graphs

We have not yet tried Flex, but we are interested using it
for its charting capabilities. Does it have built-in charting
components that allow scatter plots? If not, can anyone recommend
third party products that produce scatter plots from dynamic
data?

Let's say JFreeChart is the simplest approach to do so, even though it actually might need a bit of documentation. My guess would be that you didn't include the jcommons library in your classpath, JFreeChart depends on it.
http://www.jfree.org/jcommon
You can always use Java's native drawing operations for simple plots, too, but i just would not recommend it. It might, however, be a good idea to just use the NumberAxis classes (located in JFreeChart lib) and design your own plot if you're not willing to invest too much time in this stuff. Those classes are fairly easy to use (although also poorly documented!).

Plotting on more than one CWGraph components uses lots of cpu resource.

The cpu usage is over 95%. When we send some triangle waveform data over a DS socket, then receive the data from another appliction and try to plot the data on a CWGrahp component, the graph shows we loss some data points.points in the

Hi Juan:
We are trying to develop a data acquisition system. We need to pass 16 values every 8.33 ms by using DS Socket and display the 16 values in 16 CWGraph components.
I wrote two applications by modifying the DS Writer/Reader With Attributes examples.
To change the interval of the Sender, you have to change the interval of Timer1 in its properties in VB IDE.
To change the number of charts ploted on the CWGraph components, you have to comment or un-comment out the corresponding line in the Receiver VB code.
I run them on a Pentium 3, 600MHz, PC, the test result is:
1. The Receiver can not receive all the 16 values when the sender sends them in less than every 10 ms.
There are some packets lost during the transmission.
2. Whi
le the Receiver not plotting any chart, it can receive all the 16 values corrctly in all the packets when the Sender sends a packet in every 11 ms.
3. If the Receiver plots on one chart, it can receive all the 16 values corrctly in all the packets when the Sender sends a packet in every 12 ms.
4. If the Receiver plots on 16 charts and the Sender sends a packet in less than every 84 ms, the CPU usage will be 100% and the controls, such as lables, on the receiver GUI will not be updated corrctly.
5. If the Sender sends a packet in greater every 85 ms, the Receiver can receive the data and plots them on 16 charts corrctly.
The test results do not meet our requirement and my application is aimed to be used on some less powerful laptops. I hope it is not because the performance limit of the DS Socket and CWGraph.
I was wondering whether we can do something to increase the performance.
Pls find the attached source code files.
Thank you!

How do I graph more than 8 bits on the Digital Waveform Graph?

Greetings,
Does anyone know how have a Digital Waveform Graph that graphs Unsigned 16-bit numbers (rather than U8)?
Thanks

Just wire your array of U16 right to the bundler. The Digital Waveform Graph will just create 16 plots instead of 8.

How to create multiple graphs ( more than 10 ) in report builder 10g

Hi All ,
I have a requirement to create approx 10 graph . I have created 4 graphs in paper layout 1st section ,while moving to 2nd section in paper layout for plotting the next graph ,its giving an error "REP-1212 : Object 'M_1' is not fully enclosed by its enclosing object Body " .
Please help me ,if you have any idea to create multiple graph .
Thanks
B. Mohapatra

This is a layout error message. I don't think it has anything to do with multiple graphs.
Your object M_1 just gets too big:
Cause: An object is not fully enclosed by the page. That is, the object extends beyond the page boundary.
Action: Move or resize the object so that it does not extend outside the page boundary. Alternatively, increase the page size in the Report property palette.

Creating Scatter chart for more than one column

Hi,
I have 2 columns of sorted numbers, when I select one column at a time and create a Scatter type chart, every thing is OK,
But I want a chart with both columns in it, and when I select both columns and select a Scatter chart, Numbers takes the Group1 column as X axis and Group2 column as Y axis and draws me this chart whiich is not what I want!
When I try this type of chart the chart is something like I want, but not with connected lines.
How can I draw a Scatter chart with 2 columns of data in one chart?
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Hadi

Thanks Jerrold, The problem was the first column, on the left of Group1. that column should not be as header. I created another table like this and the Share X Values command worked like a charm. I really don't know why!?

X-y Scatter chart with multiple data series

Hi,
How do I create an x-y scatter chart with more than 1 data series? For example:
Series 1
x__y
1__0
2__5
3__9
4__7
5__2
Series 2
x_____y
0.5___0
1.3___4.8
2.6___12.3
4.1___8.4
4.9___3.2
I can do this with 2 seperate graphs but I need them on the same graph.
Is there a limit on the number of series that can be placed on a single x-y scatter graph?
Many thanks.

How to select all (dots) in a scatter plot matrix?

I have a scatter plot matrix, and I'm manually changing the color of each trend line, which probably isn't the best way but it's an easy but time consuming way to do it. I can't feasibly change the color/stroke of every single scatter plot dot in every single scatter plot graph of the matrix. I'm trying various Select --> Same or Select --> All but it keeps trying to change everything, from the line to the border to the dots. I am not sure if I can group the dots and select all or something. Is there a way to select all of the dots and just the dots?

I feel like I should have posted screenshots of my graphs for all of my questions. In any event I've been manually changing the colors of the lines and the dots (see the few graphs on the left, I highlighted the inside of the graph and changed the dots and the line and then just manually changed the line back)

ALV, sums, more than one WAERS, WAERS is not shown

Hello,
I have a problem:
I have a table which contains WRBTR AND WAERS.
There are more than one possible waers.
So I have a table for example:
100   EUR
1000 EUR
500 EUR
700 USD
800 EUR
The sum line looks like:
2600 EUR
700
The second WAERS is missing.
Why does the report show the EUR and not the USD?
I want both WAERS.
Any idea?

Hi,
Check this code it works fine.
DATA : BEGIN OF WA_JESUS,
         V_NO TYPE I,
         V_M1(3) TYPE c,
       END OF WA_JESUS.
DATA : IT_JESUS LIKE HASHED TABLE OF WA_JESUS WITH HEADER LINE WITH UNIQUE KEY V_m1.
IT_JESUS-V_NO   = 700.
IT_JESUS-V_M1 = 'USD' .
COLLECT IT_JESUS.
IT_JESUS-V_NO   = 800.
IT_JESUS-V_M1 = 'EUR' .
COLLECT IT_JESUS.
IT_JESUS-V_NO   = 700.
IT_JESUS-V_M1 = 'EUR' .
COLLECT IT_JESUS.
LOOP AT IT_JESUS.
WRITE : / IT_JESUS-V_NO,
          IT_JESUS-V_M1.
ENDLOOP.

How to force waveform graph cursors to show Y value on more than one plot?

Hello
Is it possible to show more than one Y value on waveform graph cursors?
Thanks in advance.
Pawel

Hi Dennis
That is correct, on graph woth multiple plots I want to display multiple Y values of plots at the same X value.
I know I can use property node to access cursor list etc. and this is how I have done it, but my question was rather if it is possible to force the cursor legend to display more than one Y value (as a native display). As a default it displays one value and you can choose which plot you want to stick to, but it would be a great feature to have possibility to expand cursor legend to display more than one value.
The question has nice consequences. If it was possible, you could use a property node to export image of the graph, control sizes, or even simple "copy" data from the popup menu. Otherwise we need to "artificially" glue the exter
nal controls displaying Y values if we want to export pictures, etc.
But since you did not answer that I supose it is not possible, as I thought.
thanks anyways.
kind regards

Plotting of graph with more than 4000 data points in Excel

Hi All,
I am fairly new to labview world. I am trying to plot out line graphs of the results from my program into Excel worksheet. I have huge set of data points(10000) stored in each of 10 different worksheets in MS Excel workbook. I am trying to compile results into last sheet as graphical representation of all the various dataset into 10 different graphs.
My problem is that I am getting error because MS Graph does not allow me to plot more than 4000 rows or datapoints. Is there better and cleaner way of programming this? Or if some one can provide an example of how to handle such case. I'll appreciate any help.
My goal is to able to plot one set of data 1st then I will be able to run through various worksheets to compile into standalone results.
ERROR MESSAGE: "Report Generation Toolkit: Graphs you create or edit in Microsoft Graph cannot contain more than 4,000 rows or columns, including row and column headers. "
Also for example if we run Line Graph example and change the # of data points from 100 to 4000, we get same message.
Error -41114 occurred at NI_ReportGenerationToolkit.lvlib:Excel_Insert_Chart.vi -> NI_Excel.lvclass:Excel Insert Graph.vi -> Line Graph (Excel).vi

Hi Dennis,
I am collecting waveform data from oscilloscope using labview in both data & graph format. So my program collects data for a particular operating condition & then saves the data on a worksheet. After it loads new operating condition & goes over same cycle. I have to save all the data points in excel for different use cases, which I am saving in different worksheet for each specific operating condition.
Since I already have data saved in excel at the end of test, I am trying plot each use case in the same report for study & presentaion after tests are finished. I have not been able to do so. I read the post which you have mentioned, seems like newer excel or labview version have same issue. I am using LV 9.0
I will try using decimation but if you have any better way of handling this problem, I'll appreciate if you can share that.
Thanks for your help.

I need to retrieve a series of very old (more than 1 year old) text messages from my iPhone 4S. Is this possible?

I need to retrieve a series of very old (more than 1 year old) text messages from my iPhone 4S. Is this possible?

If the text is still on the phone and wasn't deleted, I don't see why not. Probably easiest to use an app like TouchCopy (Mac and PC) or PhoneView (Mac), rather than looking through things on the phone itself.
