Scatter Plot

Version 20200818

 

New features:

1)  Batch plotting- overlaid plots

In overlaid mode, all traces are combined in a single plot, as shown below. Each trace will be assigned to a specified color according to the rainbow color table. Batch plotting can be applied on following scales: Year; Year/Month; Month; Year/Season; Season; YYYY/MM/DD; Day of week; Hour of day; text data (User defined, Weekday/weekend, Daytime/nighttime). Regressed slopes, intercepts, R2 and other metrics can be found in the csv file if “Export txt for batch plot” was selected.

2) weekday/weekend and daytime/nighttime quick selection.

3) Daytime/nighttime and weekend/weekday options are provided in Text by list data filtering.

4) The mask wave can be exported to a csv file for further use. Click “Export mask as txt” to export. Demo video: https://youtu.be/aK5JtxDwOwE

 

 

 

Scatter Plot is a handy tool to maximize the efficiency of data visualization in atmospheric science. Many existing generalized data visualization software had been extensively used, but they remain unable to fulfill a number of specify research purposes in atmospheric science. That becomes the motivation of Scatter Plot development. The program includes Deming and York algorithm for linear regression, which considers uncertainties in both X and Y, and is more realistic for atmospheric applications.  Scatter Plot is Igor based, and packed with a variety of useful features for data analysis and graph plotting, including batch plotting, data masking via GUI, color coding in Z-axis, data filtering and grouping on different time scales (year, season, month, hour, day of week, etc).

Scatter Plot是一个方便的工具,可以最大限度地提高大气科学中数据可视化的效率。 虽然有许多现有的通用数据可视化软件,但不能满足许多大气科学特定的研究目的,所以我开发自己的程序。 本程序包括WODR, Deming和York算法进行线性回归,这三种算法考虑了X和Y都包含不确定性(观测误差),对大气的应用而言更加客观地反映真实情况。它是基于Igor的,并且包含大量用于数据分析和图形绘图的有用功能,包括批量绘图,通过图形界面实现数据掩蔽,Z轴的颜色编码,根据数据或字符串进行过滤和分组。
