Click on Download Figure Slide Show (pdf presentation – 47 pages) for detailed information on the Figure Module.

Figure is a generalized plotting program that permits one to display, edit and manipulate the various figures and phase diagrams (*.fig files ) produced by the FactSage modules. It is particularly well suited for treating figures calculated by the Phase Diagram module. The *.fig files may be opened and edited by Edition, Format, Frame & Axes Windows and Menu Bars.

For example, Figs. 2 and 3 show the use of the View menu bar and the Frame & Axes Window to edit the calculated binary phase diagram for the CaSiO₃ - MgSiO₃ system.

Figs. 4 to 6 show other edited figures. The resulting diagrams may be exported as *.fig (ASCII for repeated use with Figure), *.bmp, *.emf and *.wmf files (bitmap, enhanced metafile and windows metafile) for subsequent use with other Windows® software.

Fig. 1 - Figure Module Fig. 2 - Figure Module - CaSiO3-MgSiO3 system. Example of the View menu bar used to edit calculated phase diagrams. Fig. 3 - Figure Module - Saving a Mixture Fig. 4 - Figure Module - Fe-Cr-V-C system. Mass fraction V versus mass fraction W isopleth at 0.3 wt.% C and 850°C calculated from SGTE data by Phase Diagram and editing the output in the Figure Module. Fig. 5 - Figure Module - NaF-NaCl-CaF2-CaCl2 reciprocal system. The liquidus projection was calculated from FACT data by editing the results and ouputs from the Equilib, Phase Diagram and Figure modules. Fig. 6 - Figure Module - NaCl-KCl-MgCl2 ternary system. The liquidus projection was calculated from FACT data by editing the results and outputs and from Equilib, Phase Diagram and Figure modules.
