Graph ► Overview ► Representations
Each Tasks can be efficiently visualized in different representations, either textual or graphical. The graphical representation is usually a graph. This manual has task sections but not representation sections so finding the graph to make can be difficult. The following table solves that problem by associating representation with task.
| See Task | Representation |
| Set Of Scalars | Bar chart, column chart, stacked and offset bar or column chart, pie chart |
| Set 2D Points | Line, area, scatter chart in any of rectilinear, x-log, semilog, log-log, polar, r-log polar coordinates. Note that with a skin you can also transform a scatter plot into a trajectory plot. |
| 3D Points | 3D scatter plot, 3D trajectory plot |
| Z Values | Point fill plot (aka: image plot), surface plot, 3D surface grid plot. |
| Density Values | Volumetric graph, z-slice image plot. |
Note that each task above is associated with several representations so that once a task is selected, operating on it by transformations to different representation is efficient. That is the essence of the task-oriented architecture.
