I'd like to make a presentation where I have a series of<br>
(informational) points to make, each of which is associated with a<br>
cartesian (x, y) coordinate in a scatter plot. (It's Charles Perrow's<br>
graph from 'Normal Accidents' that plots 'coupling (from loose to<br>
tight)' vs 'complexity of interactions'. In the graph 'loose' is -y,<br>
tight is +y, while complexity increases not from 0 to some maximum<br>
value but from -x to +x. This gives you a separation of data into 4<br>
quadrants, which is how Perrow wants to talk about them. So, ideally<br>
I would like to show an empty x and y axis, then click the button of<br>
my mouse, have one point show up, which I talk about for a bit, and<br>
then with successive clicks I can add more and more points to the<br>
graph.<br>
<br>
I would have thought that software to do this was common, but either<br>
I am picking the wrong words to search for, or this is not the case.<br>
Are any of you doing this already? and in that case, what do you use?<br>
