Views: Color Plot

This shows the sample location in two-dimensional Color Space with respect to the standard for
difference measurements or the samples in absolute measurement. For differences, the standard is the
center point of the plot and the samples are plotted separately on the graph.

•

The displayed samples are shown in a list box on the right of the screen. The Color Plot can
be zoomed, and the data points can be viewed in detail.
