Projection Plotter

Both command line and graphical parasim interfaces use simple plotter for results display.

Result of robustness analysis is global robustness value and a set of N-dimensional points with associated robustness values. Projection plotter displays only 2-dimensional slices of this perturbation space.

The global robustness value is displayed at the top of the plotter window. Points contained in the result are displayed in the plot area at the middle left of the plotter window. Status bar at the bottom of the window displays coordinates of mouse pointer in the perturbation space. When a point in perturbation space (i.e. the plot area) is clicked, parasim simulates model from this point and displays variable trajectories and robustness computation.

Local robustness values of points are represented by their color. In green points (and their neighbourhood), the analysed property is valid. In red points, it is invalid. The brightness of points depicts the robustness value -- the darker the point is, the more robust is the property validity/invalidity.

As it was noted above, only a 2D slice of generally N-dimensional space is displayed. The actual displayed slice may be chosen using plotter window controls. Axis choosers at the bottom of the window specify which two variables/parameters are used as axes for displayed plane. The position of this plane in the other dimensions of perturbation space is set via the sliders at the left side of the window.
