Comparing Data with a Waterfall Plot

A Waterfall Plot can be used to: •  View all your diffraction patterns together •  Compare similar samples •  Follow trends through a series of data

1. Open multiple diffraction patterns •  Left click on the first and last file while holding the shift key and then

press the open button

2. Stack the plots •  Once all the files have loaded, click the Stack button

3. Create a Waterfall Plot •  Use the box in the lower center of the screen to adjust the depth and

angle of the waterfall plot by clicking in the blue field •  Clicking to the left or right of center will angle the patterns so you

can inspect each pattern for similar peaks

4. Additional graphic options •  The box in the lower right hand corner provides additional tools to

rescale or shadow the area under the patterns for a different visual affect

5. Save the file •  Once you have the desired plot, click File, Save Graphic
