Displaying a Distribution Result Using a Result Window Control

If the selected Result is a Distribution, the display options are as follows:

Show Results as.  This determines if the results are displayed as a Chart or a Table. If Table is selected, a table showing each realization is displayed.

Show this chart type. This determines what type of chart is displayed (it does not apply to tables). The options are:

PDF: Displays a probability density function (or probability mass function for discrete distributions).

CDF: Displays a cumulative distribution function.

CCDF: Displays a complementary cumulative distribution function.

For Scenario Results show. This determines what is displayed if you are running and displaying multiple scenarios (it is ignored if you are not running scenarios). The options are:

Active Scenario: The active scenario is displayed (if it has results; otherwise, the display shows “No Data”).

Scenario Comparison: All available scenarios with results are displayed.

   Note:  Distribution Result elements actually have three different views: Chart, Table and Distribution Summary (a dialog displaying statistics and a small chart). You cannot directly view the Distribution Summary in a Result Window control.  However, if you choose to allow the control to “pop out”, you will be able to toggle to this view while it is “popped out”.

   Note:  Distribution Result elements can show results at different Capture Times that you have defined in the Advanced Time Settings dialog. In a Result Window control, the final Capture Time (i.e., the end of the realization) will always be shown.  However, if you choose to allow the control to “pop out”, you will be able to change the Capture Time while it is “popped out”.
