== CATEGORY STEP CHART ==

==Background ==

The Category Step Chart is one way to display trends visually. It is often useful for averages over a time period.

For references, visit [http://processtrends.com/pg_charts_dummy_axis_series.htm Step Charts for Excel] and [http://www.tushar-mehta.com/excel/charts/step_chart/ Step Charts].

== Description ==

Go to the [http://socr.ucla.edu/htmls/SOCR_Charts.html SOCR Charts] and select Miscellaneous from the items located on the left, then select Category Step Chart Demo:

<center>[[Image:SOCR_Activitites_Miscellaneous_CategoryStepPlot_Chui_090507_Fig1.jpg|400px]]</center>

The image above is a basic demonstration of Category Step Chart. Note that there are three separate graphs on the chart, each with its own trend.

== Applications ==

One of the most persuasive elements when proposing data and literature to others is a well-designed chart presentation.

Researchers may utilize the Category Step Chart for specific trends of natural characteristics during a period of time. For example, the trends of humidity or temperature for every decade in a century.

Scientists may also use this application to easily display their results of trends in bacteria growth over a given period of time.

In the Demo1 box plot, we can see side-by-side box plots of two categories for each of three series. These demonstration data can be viewed by clicking on DATA. Clicking on MAPPING you can choose the variables. Clicking on SHOW ALL the applet will present the graph, the data, and the mapping environment. Let’s clear this data set (click on CLEAR) so that we can enter our own data. After you click on CLEAR button, click on the DATA tab to enter data into the spreadsheet.
