2D Scatter Point Files (*.xy)

Two-dimensional scatter point sets are stored in 2D scatter point files. The file includes the scatter point locations and requires that functional information be defined in a separate dataset file. However, multiple scatter point sets can be stored in a single file. An XY coordinate pair defines each point in a scatter point set. The format allows time variant datasets to be associated with scattered data points as well as to organize datasets by allowing the user to assign an ID to the scattered dataset. Scatter files are opened through File | Open and are saved from File | Save Scatter from the Scatter module. When scatter point files are saved, a super file is saved. The super file saves and references the scatter and dataset files.
