Display Scatter Plot plots the values for two measurements.
A scatter plot displays the relationship between two measurements (that is, features) as a collection of points. If there are too many data points on the plot, you should consider using
DisplayDensityPlot instead.
The module will show a plot shows the values generated for the current cycle. However, this module can also be run as a Data Tool, in which you will first be asked for the output file produced by the analysis run. The resultant plot is created from all the measurements collected during the run.
See also DisplayDensityPlot, DisplayHistogram.

Type of measurement to plot on X-axis
You can plot two types of measurements:
- Image: For a per-image measurement, one numerical value is
recorded for each image analyzed.
Per-image measurements are produced by
many modules. Many have MeasureImage in the name but others do not
(e.g., the number of objects in each image is a per-image
measurement made by the IdentifyObject
modules).
- Object: For a per-object measurement, each identified
object is measured, so there may be none or many
numerical values recorded for each image analyzed. These are usually produced by
modules with MeasureObject in the name.
Select the object to plot on the X-axis
(Used only when plotting objects)
Choose the name of objects identified by some previous
module (such as IdentifyPrimaryObjects or
IdentifySecondaryObjects) whose measurements are to be displayed on the X-axis.
Select the measurement to plot on the X-axis
Choose the measurement (made by a previous
module) to plot on the X-axis.
Type of measurement to plot on Y-axis
You can plot two types of measurements:
- Image: For a per-image measurement, one numerical value is
recorded for each image analyzed.
Per-image measurements are produced by
many modules. Many have MeasureImage in the name but others do not
(e.g., the number of objects in each image is a per-image
measurement made by IdentifyObject
modules).
- Object: For a per-object measurement, each identified
object is measured, so there may be none or many
numerical values recorded for each image analyzed. These are usually produced by
modules with MeasureObject in the name.
Select the object to plot on the Y-axis
(Used only when plotting objects)
Choose the name of objects identified by some previous
module (such as IdentifyPrimaryObjects or
IdentifySecondaryObjects) whose measurements are to be displayed on the Y-axis.
Select the measurement to plot on the Y-axis
Choose the measurement (made by a previous
module) to plot on the Y-axis.
How should the X-axis be scaled?
The X-axis can be scaled with either a
linear
scale or a
log (base 10) scaling.
Log scaling is useful when one of the
measurements being plotted covers a large range of
values; a log scale can bring out features in the
measurements that would not easily be seen if the
measurement is plotted linearly.
