Create an XY plot

To create an XY plot, drag data items from the Assets pane to the display. A plot requires at least two data items for data to be visible.

1. In the Assets pane, find the data items that you want to plot.

2. Click XY Plot in the symbol gallery.

3. Drag the data items from the Assets pane to the display.

   AVEVA PI Vision creates an XY plot and adds the data items:

   • If you drag a single data item, AVEVA PI Vision creates an empty XY plot with the added item designated as the X-axis data source.

   • If you drag multiple items simultaneously, AVEVA PI Vision designates one as the X-axis data source and others as Y-axis data sources.

   • If you drag any additional items, AVEVA PI Vision adds the items as Y-axis data sources.

   • If you drag an asset rather than an attribute, AVEVA PI Vision adds all the data items under that asset.

     After you drag at least two items, AVEVA PI Vision opens the Configure XY Plot pane and assigns default values. The plot shows color coded data points for paired values. Labels on the X- and Y-axes show their respective data source names.
