Building a Model with Elementary Components

Chart Components

There are five types of charts and a Bucket component. The charts are used to display information about the performance of the system. The bucket collects data. Charts can be used in two ways: you can drag and drop a component (queue, server, or NumberHolder, for example) on a chart and then choose the attribute of the component you want to display in the chart and the frequency with which to sample the component. In those cases, the chart will instantiate a bucket within it to collect the data. On the other hand, if you drop a bucket into a chart, the chart uses that instant as its data source. This is used to display attribute data in transactions.

Icon	Component	Description
	Bucket	collect value of an attribute for analysis
	VHistogram	vertical histogram of numeric data
	HHistogram	horizontal histogram of numeric data
	VBoxPlot	vertical box plot of numeric data
	HBoxPlot	horizontal box plot of numeric data
	LinePlot	plot of numeric data over simulation time
