SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on creating gradation charts, specifically using software tools like Excel and SigmaPlot. Users confirm that Excel is effective for generating these charts, which feature a logarithmic x-axis and a natural y-axis. For those seeking electronic forms of gradation charts, Excel is recommended, while pSpice is mentioned for electrical applications. Additionally, a resource for printable logarithmic graph paper is provided.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with Excel 2021 for chart creation
  • Understanding of logarithmic and natural scales
  • Basic knowledge of SigmaPlot for advanced graphing
  • Awareness of pSpice for electrical engineering applications
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore advanced charting techniques in Excel 2021
  • Learn how to use SigmaPlot for gradation curves
  • Investigate pSpice for electrical gradation charting
  • Research additional online resources for logarithmic graph paper templates
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for data analysts, civil engineers, and anyone involved in materials testing who requires effective methods for creating gradation charts.

Hey guys, does anyone uses or knows about a software package that allows me to do gradation charts? (a gradation chart is a simple graphic where the x-axis is in logarithmic scale and the y-axis is in natural scale)
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
excel allows it, and I think sigma plot does too. That all I ever use.
 
It is pretty easy to do in Excel. Just one question...are you looking for just the graph paper itself to do hand charts with or do you want an electronic form of the chart? If you want to make a graph paper template, you need to put a dummy series of data into enable the scaling, etc...of the grid lines and divisions. You can simply make the data points match the color of your background and they don't show up.
 
If you want to do just print your own semi-log graph and graph by hand, here's a good website I found:

If you want a program that graph's for you, I use Excell or pSpice, but that's really for electrical stuff. What do you need it for?
 
Well the graph is for aggregates' gradation curves. I guess i should have been more explicit, i want a electronic form of the graph.
 
I would have to say Excell is good for those curves.
