    1) To create a scatter plot in Mathcad, define data sets in a table or vector, insert an X-Y plot, and enter the data set names in the appropriate axis placeholders. 2) To create a histogram, enter data in a table or vector, use the histogram function to bin the data into intervals, and plot the results against the interval midpoints. 3) By default, plots are lines but histograms are typically bar graphs; the type and axis limits can be customized in the plot properties.

    Creating 2D Graphs

    To Plot Sets of Data as Scatter Plots

    In Mathcad, data sets may be stored in Data Tables, vectors, or matrices.


    (See Handling Data and Vectors and Matrices for more information.)
    Once your data is defined in the worksheet, plotting is very easy.

    Step 1. Define your data sets 1  7 


    or import them:    
    2 5
    x    y   
    3  3 
       
    4  6 

    Step 2. Create an X-Y Plot by choosing Graph > X-Y Plot from the
    Insert menu. Alternatively, click the X-Y Plot button on the Graph toolbar:

    Step 3. You see a blank graph with two empty placeholders. Enter your
    data set names in the appropriate axis placeholders (in this example, x is on
    the x-axis and y is on the y-axis). Then click outside the graph or press
    [Enter] to finish.

    x
    By default, Mathcad plots the data as a line and then sets the axis limits
    from the minimum to the maximum of the x-axis data.

    Step 4. To display a scatter plot, double-click on the graph region. On the


    Traces page, click under Type to select "points" and under Symbol, choose
    a symbol. Click OK.

    Step 5. To change the axis limits, click on the graph and enter new values at
    the ends of each axis.

    To Create a Histogram
    There are three steps to creating a histogram plot of a set of
    one-dimensional data:
    1. Enter or import the data in your worksheet.
    2. Use the built-in histogram function to "bin" the data.
    3. Plot the results returned by the histogram function.

    Step 1. Enter the data in a Data Table or a vector.

    Step 2. Define a variable and insert the histogram function by choosing


    Function from the Insert menu and selecting "histogram" from the list.
    Then, fill in the arguments to the histogram function with the number of
    intervals you want and the name of the data.

    01.Histograme.xmcdz 3 4/17/2020

     
    8 
    5 
    data    H  histogram ( 3 data)
    6 
    Sort the data into three bins to
    9 
    get three bars on the plot.
     
    1 
    2 
     
    8 

    You can view the results of calling the histogram function by typing, in
    this case, H [=].

    Interpreting Results from the Histogram Function:

     2.333 4  4 data points in the first interval, with a midpoint of 2.333.

    H  5 3 3 data points in the second interval,with a midpoint of 5.


     7.667 3 
      3 data points in the third interval, with a midpoint of 7.667.

    Step 3. Insert an X-Y Plot by choosing Graph > X-Y Plot from the Insert
    menu. Then, in the x-axis enter the first column of the histogram result and in
    the y-axis enter the second column of the result.

    By default, Mathcad plots the data as a line, however, histograms are


    typically done as bar graphs

    Step 4. To display a solid bar plot, double-click the graph. On the Traces
    page, select "solidbar" under Type. Click OK.

    visible, just a line.

    Mathcad sets the axis limits from the minimum to the maximum of the x-axis
    data. So we need to change the limits of both the x and y axes to make this
    graph meaningful.

    Step 5. To change the axis limits so you can see all the data on the graph,
    click on the graph and enter new values at the ends of each axis.
