Knovel offers five types of interactive graphs. For more information also view our video tutorial on interactive toolsopens in new tab/window.
Allows you to derive x,y coordinates from a curve that can be expressed as an equation or a row of data in an Interactive Table.
With the Equation Potter you can:
Digitize the curve
- Define the X and Y units.
- Example: If Variable (X) represents temperature, define the X-Unit: °R, °F, °C or K. If Function (Y) represents density of liquid, define the Y-unit: g/mL, mg/L, lb/in3, etc.
- Choose the number of significant digits for X and Y values.
- While moving the mouse along the curve, click to save X,Y values in the table on the left.
Calculate Y (or X) values from specific X (or Y) values
Click ‘Add Point’, enter the X (or Y) value in the table and press the Enter key.
Delete a point
- From the graph, click the point to delete it, or
- From the table, click the point and delete (keyboard Delete), or
- To delete all points, click ‘Clear All’.
Move a point
On the graph, drag and drop to move a point.
Export or Print results
Click ‘Actions’ in the upper right corner of the screen to:
- Export: Click ‘Export’
- You can export the tabular data to Microsoft Excel, HTML or Text format, or
- You can export the graph to JPEG, GIF or PNG format
- Print: Click ‘Print’
- You can print ‘All’, or
- You can print the tabular data, or
- You can print the graph
Allows you to digitize x,y coordinates from normally static graphs.
With the Graph Digitizer you can:
Digitize the curve
- If necessary, define the X and Y axes representation.
- Choose the number of significant digits for X and Y values.
- While moving the mouse along the curve, click to save X,Y values in the table on the left.
Delete a point
- From the graph, click the point to delete it, or
- From the table, click the point and delete (keyboard Delete), or
- To delete all points, click ‘Clear All’
Move a point
On the graph, drag and drop to move a point
Define a ‘Curve Label’ (optional)
If desired, enter a curve label, and click ‘Add’ to place it on the graph. You can drag and drop the label to the desired location within the graph. Please Note: This label will also be displayed in any output such as a print or exported file.
Export or Print results
Click ‘Actions’ in the upper right corner of the screen to:
- Export: Click ‘Export’
- You can export the tabular data to Microsoft Excel, HTML or Text format, or
- You can export the graph to JPEG, GIF or PNG format
- Print: Click ‘Print’
- You can print ‘All’, or
- You can print the tabular data, or
- You can print the graph
Allows you to define precise x,y coordinates from individual or multiple curves for data comparison.
With the Graph Plotter you can:
Digitize the curve
- Define the X and Y units.
- Example: If the X Axis represents time, define the X-Unit: yr, wk, hr, etc. If the Y Axis represents creep strain, define the Y-unit: vol%, wt%, ppb, %, etc.
- Choose the number of significant digits for X and Y values.
- If one of the axis is defined as log, click a data point to save X,Y values in the table on the left, or
- If both axes are defined as linear, click ‘Scatter points’ to turn off the data points and turn on the curve display, and
- While moving the mouse along the curve, click as desired to save X,Y values in the table on the left.
Calculate Y (or X) values from specific X (or Y) values
Click ‘Add Point’, enter the X (or Y) value in the table and press the Enter key.
Delete a point
- From the graph, click the point to delete it, or
- From the table, click the point and delete (keyboard Delete), or
- To delete all points, click ‘Clear All’.
Move a point
On the graph, drag and drop to move a point
Curve Label
If desired, enter a curve label. This will replace the current numeric label display on the graph.
Export or Print results
Click ‘Actions’ in the upper right corner of the screen to:
- Export: Click ‘Export’
- You can export the tabular data to Microsoft Excel, HTML or Text format, or
- You can export the graph to JPEG, GIF or PNG format
- Print: Click ‘Print’
- You can print ‘All’, or
- You can print the tabular data, or
- You can print the graph
Has the same functionality as a graph digitizer as well as the capability to plot points on a calibrated phase equilibrium diagram. Use the “Lever Rule” to calculate temperatures and compositions of mixture phases (solid, liquid, gas, etc) as temperature and/or pressure change.
With the Phase Diagram Viewer you can:
Use as a graph digitizer
- If necessary, define the X and Y axes representation.
- Choose the number of significant digits for X and Y values.
- While moving the mouse along the curve, click to save X,Y values in the table on the left.
Use the Lever Rule
- Click the ‘Lever Rule’ button below the table
- Hover the mouse on the graph area to display a red horizontal line on the diagram.
- Drag the red line to your desired temperature of interest and click.
- Click C left and C right points on the red line to define the phase boundaries
- Click Co point on the line between the phase boundaries to calculate fractional composition of the left and right boundaries
The table on the left is populated with the temperature, C left and C right boundary values, Co value, and f left and f right fractional phases for Co.
Delete a point
Note: In the case of a point that is part of a lever rule, deleting the point will delete all values related to the lever rule.
- From the graph, click the point to delete it, or
- From the table, click the point and delete (keyboard Delete), or
- To delete all points, click ‘Clear All’.
Move a point
You can only move points that were added as graph digitizer points:
- On the graph, drag and drop to move a point

- Export: Click ‘Export’
- You can export the tabular data to Microsoft Excel, HTML or Text format, or
- You can export the graph to JPEG, GIF or PNG format

Allows you to plot three or more parameters on a graph. For example, you can have temperature vs. the speed of sound and pressure.
With the Parameterized Graph you can:
Digitize the curve
- Choose the number of significant digits
- Click your mouse along a curve in the graph, saving values to the table on the left, or
- Click in the unshaded area of the graph to automatically plot a point and save its value to the table, or
- Define the input units (Example: Speed of sound (ft/sec) vs Pressure (psia)), enter input values (such as temperature and speed of sound) and click Plot to plot a point and save its values to the table
Delete a point
- From the graph, click the point to delete it, or
- From the table, click the point and delete (keyboard Delete), or
- To delete all points, click ‘Clear All’.
Move a point
On the graph, drag and drop to move a point
