XY charts

XY charts allow you to plot an independent (X) variable against any combination of dependent (Y) variables. This is especially useful for comparing different types of data reported from each simulation. For example, the graph below demonstrates the the effect of in-crop rainfall on crop yields and soil water at harvest time.

To analyse simulations using XY charts:

1. Open the [Charts] menu and select [XY…],
   …or click on the icon on the toolbar.
2. Select the data for analysis in the XY form. Choose the simulation(s) you wish to analyse in the upper selection window, and the data you wish to analyse in the lower window.
3. Use the X variable drop down menu to choose the independent variable for the x-axis.
4. Use the Y variable drop down menu(s) to choose the dependent variable(s) for the y-axis(es).
5. Use the Chart type drop down menus to select the graph type for each independent variable.
