Plot Types

EmVision supports six plot types. Select the type in Layout Editor mode, from the plot’s context menu, or when creating a new plot pane.

Opening plot setup

For line and scatter plots:

Click the pencil (configure) control on the plot, or
Right-click the plot and choose Settings at the top of the menu (same dialog as the pencil).

Line Plot

The primary analysis plot. Displays one or more channels against time or distance on the X-axis.

Features

Multiple channels with independent Y-axis scaling
Event markers along the X-axis
Lap and sector milestone bands (when enabled)
Corner and straight segment highlighting
Channel highlight and hide toggles
Drag channels from the Measurements panel (right-hand drawer) onto the plot to add them quickly

Tip

Drag any channel from the right-hand Measurements list onto a line plot to plot it. No need to open the channel setup dialog first.

Configuration tabs

Tab	Contents
Channels	Select channels, colours, scaling mode, and Y-axis assignment
Events	Select events as vertical markers, or enable Show all events
Display	Toggle axes, race milestones, corners/straights

Show all events

On the Events tab, Show all events draws every event in the log without picking them one by one. When it is on, the individual event list is disabled. Uncheck it to choose a specific subset of events.

Scaling modes

Mode	Description
Scale to Fit	Y-axis fits the min/max of the channel data in view
Scale to Reference	Uses the reference channel’s Y-axis range
Scale from Database	Uses predefined min/max from the channel database

Scatter Plot

Plots one channel against another (X vs Y), with an optional third channel controlling point colour.

Features

X, Y, and optional Z (colour) channel assignment
Connecting lines between sequential points (Show path)
Marker type selection for the reference series
Colour range boxes for Z-channel segmentation
Double-click a range box to toggle visibility; drag to apply the same toggle across ranges
Overlay comparison laps with fixed overlay colours (reference keeps Z/channel colouring and paints on top)

Scatter setup options

Option	Description
Show path	Draw lines between sequential points
Soft falloff	Soft-edged points for dense clouds (easier to read when zoomed out). Adjust Radius when enabled
Reference shape	Marker style for the reference lap (disabled when soft falloff is on)
Show 1st / 2nd compare	Toggle visibility of comparison laps
1st / 2nd compare shape	Marker style for each comparison series
Show axis numbers	X and Y axis labels
Min/max override	Manual axis limits for X and/or Y

Open setup with the pencil icon or right-click → Settings.

Track Map

GPS position plot showing the vehicle path around a circuit.

Features

Vehicle position marker with configurable dimensions
Track outline from imported GeoJSON or log GPS data
Cursor follows vehicle position
F10 toggles between track-following and car-following zoom modes

Vehicle dimensions are set in Settings. Import tracks via File → Import Track File (see Opening Logs). Creating GeoJSON maps is covered under Creating a Track Map.

Lap Timing

Split time table showing sector and lap times in a grid format.

Features

Sector times per lap in columns
Best sector and best lap highlighting
Special lap columns (in-lap, out-lap)
Totals row

This plot reads directly from the log’s lap timing data — no additional configuration is required.

Gauge Area

Dashboard-style gauge display showing channel values at the cursor position.

Features

Multiple gauge styles in a single pane
Values update as the cursor moves through the log
Useful for replicating a dash layout view during playback

Lap Matrix

Colour-coded matrix comparing channel statistics across laps.

Features

Configure which channels appear as rows
Colour bands highlight value ranges
Drag rows to reorder
Quickly identify which lap had the highest/lowest value for each channel

Open the Lap Matrix settings from the toolbar button within the plot to add channels and configure colour bands.
