Contour Diagram

Contour diagram shows how a property changes in a 2D or 3D diagram [2015Che]. The most commonly used contour diagram is the ternary isothermal lines superimposed on a liquidus projection. Another example is the activity contour diagram. Pandat™ extends contour diagram to many other properties including thermodynamic properties, physical properties and any combination of them. A few examples of useful contour diagrams are given in the following sections. Please keep in mind that Pandat™ can plot many other contour diagrams beyond these examples.
