Viewing the Contour Plots

Once you have created the contour plot arrays, you may view the charts with the graphing form. Note that all of the appropriate files must be loaded for the contour plot viewing function to work properly.

1. Select Contour Plots on the Main Menu by pressing C to display the Plots Options Form.

2. Select View by pressing V. This will bring up an Open Dialog Box displaying all of the contour plots related files. If you have only one list of plots for this experiment, that list will be selected so that you can simply click the Open button to open the desired list.

3. This Experiment Plots Form now appear. It display a list of plot files that were generated in one group. You can open or print any contour plot on the list from this form.

4. Select the file that you want to view. Note that there is one plot array file for each slice of each response specified in the model file. The Contour Plots Graphing Form will immediately create a graph of that file.

5. Manipulate the selected view until it most clearly communicates the answer you found. Use the View Menu and Actions Menu to zero in on the region of interest.

6. Copy the chart (Edit Menu) to your favorite presentation program or word processor, or print the graph (File Menu) if desired.
