Scatter Plot View
A scatter plot graph demonstrates the relationship between the data values of two or more variables. A scatter plot graph can be created quickly by selecting two or more @RISK elements (inputs or outputs) and then selecting the Scatter Plot option from the Explore Menu. If no elements are selected, or only a single element is highlighted, @RISK will prompt for the appropriate selection.

The Scatter Plot window consists of the following primary components:
- Graph Panel
- Information Panel
- Command Buttons (see below)
Scatter Plots and Multiple Simulations
When a simulation is run utilizing multiple simulations, each simulation's results can be displayed in the Scatter Plot window separately, or all simulation results can be combined into a single view.
To switch between simulations, or to toggle 'All Simulations', use the Select Simulation # to Display button ( ) in the command buttons. See Scatter Plot Command Buttons, below, for more information.

By default, the Scatter Plot window will indicate the simulation being viewed in a few ways:
- The graph title will display the simulation number, or 'All Simulations' when viewing all simulation results
- The graph will display each simulation as its own data set, color coded per Graphing Options. This includes the delimiter bar at the top of the graph.
- The information panel will display the selected data (e.g. legend or statistics) for each simulation, color coded to match the graph.
