Viewing graphs

Once you have placed your Analysis Objects and defined your analyses, you are ready to view the results of your analysis in graph form. Graphs are viewed in LEGION Simulator’s Graph Windows, two of which are available when you first start LEGION Simulator.

To view a graph:

  1. In the Object Directory, click on the ‘Analysis’ tab.
  2. Expand the Graph directory tree to locate the particular graph you want to view.
  3. Click the white cross icon to the left of the graph’s name to display the graph.

    A graph window opens below the workspace, displaying the graph you selected. If you haven’t played back the simulation yet, the graph will not contain any data.

  4. Play back or record the simulation. The graph is dynamically populated.

Zooming in and out of graphs

To zoom in on a specific area of a graph:

  1. Click on the graph and drag a rectangle over the area you wish to enlarge.

    The portion of the graph you selected will be expanded to fill the Graph Window. Try resizing the Graph Window to change the appearance of the enlarged section.

  2. To return to the original view, click your mouse-wheel (or middle mouse button) once.

Changing the type of graph

While a graph is displayed, you can change it to another type of graph, using the right-click context menu.

To change a graph:

  1. Right-click in the Graph Window of the graph you want to change. A menu containing alternative types of graph is displayed, for example ‘Cumulative values’, ‘Average values (over 30 seconds)’ or ‘Advanced Average values’ (3 line graph using Standard Deviation).
  2. Select one of these alternatives.

    The original graph is replaced by your chosen alternative, incorporating the existing data.

Clearing a graph

You can clear all data from a graph at any point while it is displayed.

To clear a graph:

Right-click in the Graph Window of the graph you want to change and select Clear Graph

All data is removed from the graph. The Graph Window remains open and will display the data of the next graph you activate.

Opening new Graph Windows

The first two graphs you display will occupy the default Graph Windows ‘Graph 1’ and ‘Graph 2’. If you wish to view more graphs you may need to open new windows to view them in.

To open a new Graph Window:

Select File > New Graph Window

or

Right-click in LEGION Simulator’s workspace and select New Graph Window.

A new Graph Window is displayed.
