Plots and Tables

Yano Simulator provides two related result surfaces:

• Canvas plots are objects placed and formatted on the model canvas.
• Workspace Plots and Table provide a quick view of the current result or selected historical runs.

Run a simulation before expecting populated output.

Add a canvas plot

1. Choose a plot type under Plots in the left palette.
2. Click the canvas.
3. Select the plot and open Behavior in the inspector.
4. Add variables or flows, depending on the plot type.
5. Configure layers, array handling, and annotations.
6. Open Style to set axes, time range, legend, grid, palette, line or marker appearance, border, and background.

Plot types include time series, area, bar, pie, combo, scatter, heatmap, table, and Sankey. Each exposes only settings relevant to that visualization. Configure histogram presentation from a Bar plot.

Add data carefully

• Time-based plots normally use simulation time on the horizontal axis.
• Scatter plots require explicit X/Y variable combinations.
• Heatmaps require suitable array data.
• Sankey plots use flows and their stock connections.
• Array variables can select an element or apply an available array operation.
• Comparative mode draws one variable across runs selected in Data Manager.
