ABSTRACT

The use of computer-aided design and drafting to produce charts or graphs systematically during the design process has been well documented by a number of industrial organizations. The most common industrial documentation has been a collection of software routines such as SAS or the Tektronix Advanced Graphics Package. This chapter describes several special features that engineering student can use to perform sequences of multiple charts or graphs and to create a professional-looking package. The majority of engineering graphs are plotted in rectangular coordinate format. When alternative charts or graphs are placed back to back, the operations happen so quickly that it makes it difficult for reviewers to see what is taking place on the display screen. The chapter aims to locate the sample graphs and charts. The larger grid makes the graph easier to read. The sequence of commands stored in the graph preview file is executed, and the Command: prompt reappears.
