Create Charts

Now we know something about the CES software, and its database, but we don't have a way to compare the material properties that fill the CES database. For this comparison we have CES charts. there are two types of charts:

  • Material bar-charts

  • Material Properties Charts

Material bar-charts can help us with exploring relationships and with elementary selection between material classes. 

Material Properties Charts can help us with answering questions about materials and be used as a tool in material selection.

To create a chart simply, choose which two material properties that you want to compare (i.e. choose the X and the Y for your graph), and CES generates a graph that compares the materials in the database to each other by your selected two material properties.
