The Plot Form

Purpose: Exploring Numerical Data in Graphical Form.

Two examples are provided here because certain plot features are dependent on the data type.

Some special tools are available for Data Exploration and Printing on the plot.

Data as a function of 1 variable

Available actions are controlled through the tool bar.

PLOT TYPES:
DY: Deviation Plot , DY%: %Dev Plot , Waring: Waring Function Plot

PLOT FEATURES:
+/-: Show/Hide Uncertainties, Connect: Connecting Lines , Rejected: Show/Hide rejected data, Full View: Show all data,
and Exploring Details & Resizing, and Data Point identification in a plot.

DATA COLORS:
Black = Accepted Data, Orange = Rejected Data, Red = Select Data, Blue = Data estimated by TDE
Blue Lines = Default equation representations evaluated by TDE, Green Lines = User selected equations

The DY button yields a Deviation Plot

The DY% button yields a Percent Deviation Plot

The Waring button yields a plot of the Waring function vs Temperature

The Waring Function is defined as R * [d ln(p) / dT], R is the gas constant, and T and p are temperature and pressure.

For many materials, the Waring Function displays a minimum for 0.8 < T/Tc < 1.0, where Tc is the critical temperature.
See References: Waring, W. Ind. Eng. Chem., 1954, 46, 762 and Steele, W. V. J. Chem. Thermodyn., 1995, 27, 135.

The +/- button shows/hides estimated uncertainties for the plotted data points.

NOTE: The +/- ranges indicate approximate uncertainties for the experimental values, except in the Recommended Values branch of the Navigation Tree, where they represent uncertainties for the recommended values.

The Connect button shows/hides connecting lines for data points within the same data set

NOTE: All data for a particular property from a single bibliographic source typically represent one data set. There can be more than one data set from a single source, if more than one sample was studied or more than one experimental method was used.

The Rejected button shows/hides data points rejected in the evaluation process

The Full view button rescales the plot to full size after viewing a detail

Rescaling of the plot allows all data to be visible.

The mouse can be used to define a region for detailed viewing

Double Click on any data point in a plot to determine its source

NOTE: The Bibliographic Source Details can viewed through the Data Table.

Data as a function of 2 variables

Available actions are controlled through the tool bar.

PLOT TYPES:
DY: Deviation Plot , DY%: %Deviation Plot

PLOT FEATURES:
+/-: Show/Hide Uncertainties, Connect: Connecting Lines , Rejected: Show/Hide rejected data, Full View: Show all data,
and Change Plot Variable, Exploring Details, Compressibility(Z) and Data Point identification in a plot.

DATA COLORS:
Black = Accepted Data, Orange = Rejected Data, Red = Select Data, Blue = Data estimated by TDE
Blue Lines = Default equation representations evaluated by TDE, Green Lines = User selected equations

The example shows plots of density = f (T& p) for quinoline after evaluation (from the Default Representations branch of the tree).

Alternative Views: Properties can be plotted as a funtion of temperature (T) or pressure (p).

The example shows a plot of density = f (T) and f(p) for o-xylene after evaluation.

Compressibility Factor: Density data may be plotted as the compressibility (Z)


The example shows data for 1,2-dimethylbenzene after evaluation (from the
