Array plot using density area.
The array plot allows you to create graphs of each profile in relation to another, or of each column (state) in relation to another. The array plot window has two areas on the left side used to select the profiles or states to be used as x- and y-axis. Use the Rows/Columns selector above these to choose between plotting columns vs. columns, or rows vs. rows.
