1-D Cut Definition Menu

Clicking on the 1-D Cut button in the Contour Definition Menu brings up the menu: 










The menu defines up to 4 1-D cuts through the generated contour plot.  
The contour intensity along each cut is plotted in a separate plot 
which is output together with the contour plot.  The scaling used in 
the cut plot is defined in the last column of the 
Axis Definition Menu.

Plot Pos


PLOT POS defines where the plot containing the 1D Cuts is to
be placed relative to the contour plot. The options are: 













 Option Definition

 BOTTOM
      The 1D Cut plot is placed below the contour plot.

 RIGHT
      The 1D Cut plot is placed to the right of the 
                       contour plot.







In general either plot placement can be used, however, cuts which have
little or no variation in X should be plotted to the right of the contour 
and cuts which have little of no variation in Y should be plotted below 
the contour.  The reason for this is that the plot axes of the cut plot 
which is parallel to the contour plot has the same scaling as that 
contour axis.





Plot %


METHOD specifies the size of the cut plot in terms of the 
contour plot.  A value of 100 will produce a cut plot which is the
same size as the contour plot.  A value of 25 will produce a cut
plot whose height (cut plot on bottom) or width (cut plot on side)
is 25% of contour height or width respectively.  



CLOSE


CLOSE closes the 1-D Cut Definition Menu window.

Number Of Cuts


NUMBER OF CUTS specifies the number of cuts to be defined.  The
options run from One to Four.



Cut Options


Each of the 4 possible sets of 1-D Cut definitions have the same set of
options.  The options for a given 1-D Cut are enabled only if it is
within the number of defined cuts/




BEG X is the starting X-coordinate of the
of the 1-D cut.






BEG Y is the starting Y-coordinate of the
of the 1-D cut.






END X is the ending X-coordinate of the
of the 1-D cut.






END Y is the ending Y-coordinate of the
of the 1-D cut.






COLOR sets the color used to output
the results of the 1D Cut.  There are 8 possible colors.






OUTPUT AS defines the display format 
to use when displaying a 1D Cut line plot.  These include:









 Option Definition

 HISTOGRAM 
      Lines parallel to X-axis are drawn through the
                       data points stretching half the distance to the
                       adjacent data points.  Perpendicular lines connect
                       the parallel lines.

 LINE PLOT
     Lines are drawn point to point.

 SCATTER
     Symbol is plotted for each data point.

 BAR GRAPH
     Filled in HISTOGRAM








SHOW CUT defines if the defined
1-D Cut to be projected onto the contour plot and if so how.  This
is NOT a plot of the intensity along the cut, but simply a line 
between the beginning and ending X and Y coordinates.  
The options include:









 Option Definition

 NO
      Do not show the 1-D Cut on the contour plot.

 UNDERLAY (W)
     Underlay the 1-D Cut as a white line.

 OVERLAY (W)
     Overlay the 1-D Cut as a white line.

 UNDERLAY (C)
     Underlay the 1-D Cut using the color to selected 
                      to output the data in the 1-D Cut intensity plot.

 OVERLAY (C)
     Overlay the 1-D Cut using the color to selected 
                      to output the data in the 1-D Cut intensity plot.

Option Effects





The menu below defines 4 cuts through a contour plot.  The plot of the
1-D cuts is below the contour plot and has a height which is 50% of the
height of the contour plot.
