Graphics Formats

[Tom Anderson]

Would be nice to have more graphics formats available from RS-Draw than just .wmf.

Want to make use of graphs on WEB pages, etc. and wmf is not that WEB friendly.

Your suggestion is greatly appreciated. We are currently looking into adding this functionality into our software applications.

If you have any other suggestions or comments please let us know.

You can paste a metafile into any graphics application and save it as a different format

I was just wondering if there was any way i could change the graphical format of the Weibull graph. Currently I get the normal graph which has time on the x axis and unreliability on the y axis. I am looking to have a graph with time on the x axis and % of machines failed on the y axis but for this axis to go up till everything has failed.

I am not sure I understand the question. You can easily change the scaling on the y-axis (i.e. starting and ending point-- see documentation). Is this what you are looking for?

When I run the 3 parameter calculation I get the eta value of 5.177+E5 in the results box but when I go to RS Draw the axis locaters indicate my eta is 5.73E+5. Why the difference?

The plot can show both the gamma corrected and uncorrected line. I am assuming that when you go to RS-Draw you are reading eta at the 62% line from the straight line. This is the gamma corrected – thus what you are actually reading is (x-gamma). See the documentation on 3P Weibull and/or http://www.weibull.com/LifeDataWeb/three_parameter_weibull_regression.htm

Is there another way to color the area between two reliability plots in a multiplot sheet than using the Ploygon or Free Draw tools? They produce a poor quality chart.

There is no automated way. However you can use RS Draw to manually do that as noted.
