USER'S GUIDE - ShipWeight

Estimating Weight and CoG
3.2.1 The graph area in the estimation dialog
In the graph area coefficients from vessels in the common ship database are
plotted. The coefficients are plotted as black dots. The coefficient values can
be read out of the vertical axis and they are plotted against a set of plot
parameters on the horizontal axis. A regression line is plotted through the
coefficients.
The vertical dashed line represents the plot parameter value for the project to
be estimated. To examine a coefficient represented by a dot, the dot can be
clicked, and this ship's parameters will be shown in the comparison area.
One way of selecting the coefficient in the graph area is to use the Select
coefficient dialog. This dialog always opens simultaneously with the estimation
dialog.
