Graph Builder - Generate Area Value for Area Graph Plot for the Range

Hello All, 

 

I plotted a data set using graph builder. The graph uses the Area Plot mode and overlays two lines. I want to collect the Area value for each graph and the area of range between the two plots. A sample image is attached. Any help is appreciated how to pull this value from this chart. Thanks!

Re: Graph Builder - Generate Area Value for Area Graph Plot for the Range

If I can provide additional information, please ask. I simply want the area of the shaded region. I figured this was easy but could not find any options to generate a single value for that area. I can also provide a sample data set if necessay.

Hi,

 

I had a similar question a few months ago. There is no built-in function to retrieve the Area Between the Curves.

Hence, you need to calculate the Area Under the Curve for each curve and subtract one from the other (see below)

If you are inclined to do so, you could modify the script in the link above to extract the area between the curves directly.

 

Best,

TS

Hi TS,

Thanks for the link, but it's not clear how to execute step-by-step...looks like a bunch of code and no idea how to proceed?!?. I'm looking to compute areas of slices under this curve generated by x-y data; for example, the area from 80-90 along x,

or the area of 90-115 along x. Specific regions (slices or fractions) in x are of interest. I think this can be done relatively easily in Excel via ((y2+y1)/2)*(x2-x1) however JMP may provide a better solution.
