Graph ► Overview ► Representations
Each Tasks can be efficiently visualized in different representations, either textual or graphical. The graphical representation is usually a graph. This manual has task sections but not representation sections so finding the graph to make can be difficult. The following table solves that problem by associating representation with task.
See Task | Representation |
Set Of Scalars | Bar chart, column chart, stacked and offset bar or column chart, pie chart |
Set 2D Points | Line, area, scatter chart in any of rectilinear, x-log, semilog, log-log, polar, r-log polar coordinates. Note that with a skin you can also transform a scatter plot into a trajectory plot. |
3D Points | 3D scatter plot, 3D trajectory plot |
Z Values | Point fill plot (aka: image plot), surface plot, 3D surface grid plot. |
Density Values | Volumetric graph, z-slice image plot. |
Note that each task above is associated with several representations so that once a task is selected, operating on it by transformations to different representation is efficient. That is the essence of the task-oriented architecture.
