Contour Plot

The Contour Plot measures the effects of 2 independent variables on a given variable, but does so in a 2D fashion, using color to represent the range of values the dependent variable is in, like a topographical map.

To configure a plot, select from the Plot Options menu on the left side of each plot:

• Dimensions - set which variable is displayed on which axis
• Constraints - specify upper and lower limits on design variables
• Objectives - set weighted values for design variables
• Series - set options for the plot display
• Layout - control global layout options for the overall plot area
• Axes - set options for the axes
• Legend - set the display and appearance of the plot legend

You can also use the View Controls toolbar, in the upper right of the plot area, to specify some settings.
