After the setup is complete, an eZplot button will appear at the top of your Excel files. It contains everything you will need.
You will use embedded Excel Charts (examples) in this PowerPoint Presentation. These embedded examples can be opened by left clicking on the file (double click if not in slide show). eZplot forms and capabilities are not available without eZplot installed.

Uses Parameter Names instead of cell locations for plots and calculations Creates Plots That You Can Interact With (Not Pictures) Right-Click does everything (this is the only thing to remember) Uses forms (user does not need to remember any commands) Can use command line inputs. Chart formats set by formatting a cells color, size, font Is fast and easy to use
Supports Multiple Y (Multiple Y Axes) Plots Contour Plots 2D and 3D Interpolation Polynomial Functionality

Open embedded files by left clicking (double click if not in slide show)
eZplot starts after data has been put into Excel Basic Plotting: Open File. Note parameters in row 1, with data underneath. Click eZPlot -> Create eZplot Sheet eZplot sheet generates plots Right-Click does everything (dont need to remember commands) Right-Click in blank cell in Column A Select Data Parameters (Y and X) to write plot commands
Change a plot axis and see the change get written back to the eZplot sheet.
Plotting
Where you right-click affects if you will write a new plot, or modify an existing plot. Right-Click on the plot cell -> Data Parameters (Y and X) -> Data2 -> Select Ypar under Y then Time under X then Ok. Right-Click and Plot
Plotting
Titles appear the way they are typed in the cell (entire cell used, Title1 governs) Right-Click and drag to select from title1 to xtitle Change the text font to red, bold, and size 12. Right-Click and Plot
Goto eZplot sheet ->Right-Click under the plot cell -> Series Formats
Colors: 1
Colors, Symbols and Lines pattern always repeat: colors 1 2 3 would repeat 1 2 3 1 2 3
Inside colors: 1i2 Symbols: 14 (type then size) Trends: e (equation) r (r squared value) Legend parameters can be auto-specified with $y, $sheet etc.
Specs on the eZPlot sheet always have a background color if they are active
Divisions can be used to specify axis. Only increment is available in Excel. Changes made to a chart are written back to eZplot sheet The only time the eZplot sheet affects plots is when Right-Click and Plot is selected eZplot can plot data from the current workbook or external workbook (shared drive etc)
Calculations
Right-Click under xtitle -> Calculation Create a new parameter by typing: NewPar And put it on sheet Data1: Select Data1 under Worksheets in Selected Workbook
Bonus: Can you change the existing parameter Mold on the Data1 sheet to have the same calculation?
Multy_Y Plotting
Multy_Y plots have more than one Y axis _y at the end of a y parameter creates a new y axis
plot air1 vs TIME air2 vs TIME velocity_y vs TIME sensor_y vs TIME
There is a Multy_Y Axis button to add _y to a parameter in Data Parameters (Y and X).
Multy_Y plots are not available through Excel. You must use eZplot. eZplot has a form that will come up if you click on the plot. Click the plot. Use the scroll bar under Y axis #1: Move it all the way to the right. Change the 3rd y_axis (SENSOR) to be: Ymax: 5000 Ymin: 500
Click Ok and the plot regenerates. What changed on the eZplot sheet?
Chart Changes
We have observed that changes to a chart are written back to the eZplot sheet. Changes captured for subsequent plotting.
After each of these changes, see what happens on the eZplot sheet.
Select the plot title and change: Module 6 to Module 22
Click a red line (on plot or in legend) -> right-click -> Format Change Line Color from red to purple
Chart changes can be shut off by clicking eZPlot -> and unselecting Write chart changes back to eZplot sheet
The location where you right-click determines where your changes will be written. If you right-click above the first plot, you will be changing the defaults that apply to all the plots. If you clicked in a region for a plot cell, it applies to that plot.
Plotting
We have observed that datasets refer to certain sheets.
1 1 current Data1 2 2 current Data2 3 3 current (Multiple Data)
Contour Plotting
Contour plots can be made from any data: Rectangular, Nearly Rectangular, and Irregular Data
Nearly Rectangular: Up to 5 data points will be repeated to make the data rectangular. This is useful if a model does not converge for all points.
Curves
EZplot will plot 2D and 3D curves. The following file has an example.
Note that the syntax is simply "plot curve_m" without any versus. The _m is used to mean map (i.e. curve). The curve provides all the information for x, y (and z).
Extrapolation can be used for Interp_2D and Interp_3d Here is an example of the syntax: "=Interp_3D(X range,Yrange,desiredX,desiredY, True)"
Poly Function
Polynomial functions:
=poly(X,Y,order) would give the polynomial equation
(i.e. 0.299999999999819x^3 + -2.59999999999851x^2 + 6.09999999999703x^1 + 4.63168598125102E-14)
=poly(X,Y,order,useforx) would give the result of x plugged into the polynomial equation (i.e. 2.342857) where X is x data and Y is y data.
eZplot_Misc
Plots can be specified with the following example of 2 equivalent statements for data sets.
Plot Y(1 2 3 4 6 7 8 10) vs X(1 2 3 4 6 7 8 10) Plot Y(1-4 6-8 10) vs X(1-4 6-8 10)
This syntax also works for sets: Sets 1-4 6-8 10 Plot Y vs X
Error Handling
Examples of some errors a user can make: Plot y series vs x series with different number of elements Incorrect parameter names: plot Yban vs Xpar Missing data sheets etc A form will pop-up to alert you of an error after selecting Click here to Plot
Ypar 10211.05 9186.696 8588.476 7482.433 6313.272 Xpar 351.4969 334.3531 322.9468 301.2368 276.6136 83.04968

1=Diamond
2=Triangle 3=Square 4=Circle 5=Star 6=Plus Sign
7=Dot
8=X To specify a weight (size) of a symbol, include a second number. Symbol weight sizes can be specified from 1 to 72 (where 72 is the thickest). For example symbols 12 is a diamond with a weight size of 2. For a filled symbol, include an "f" after the number. Example symbols 3f 5f4 54f (note 5f4 and 54f are the same: filled star with a weight size of 4) title1: example: title2 This is the second line of my title The number specifies the line for the title text. Typing title without a number will default to title1 (and overwrite any other title1 on the line)
log=logarithmic trendline
exp=exponential trendline pow=power trendline pol=polynomial trendline with order 2-6. Ex. Pol3 mov=moving average with period 2-20. Ex. mov3 To display the trendline equation, make one of the last two letters e. To display the rsquared equation, make one of the last two letters r. More examples: trends pol trends pol3 trends pol3e trends pol3er
xlabel1:
example: xlabel2 This is the second line of my x-axis label The number specifies the line for the x-axis label text. Typing xlabel without a number will default to xlabel1 (and overwrite any other xlabel1 on the line)
The number of major divisions for the y-axis. Overwrites existing yinc.
ydivs: example: ydivs 5 The number of minor divisions for the y-axis. Overwrites existing yincs. yinc: example: yinc 20 The increment value for the major y-axis. Overwrites existing ydiv.
