Carpet plot

A carpet plot is any of a few different specific types of plot. The more common plot referred to as a carpet plot is one that illustrates the interaction between two or more independent variables and one or more dependent variables in a two-dimensional plot. Besides the ability to incorporate more variables, another feature that distinguishes a carpet plot from an equivalent contour plot or 3D surface plot is that a carpet plot can be used to more accurately interpolate data points. A conventional carpet plot can capture the interaction of up to three independent variables and three dependent variables and still be easily read and interpolated. Carpet plots have common applications within areas such as material science for showing elastic modulus and Poisson's ratio given a known ratio of ply angles in laminates, and within aeronautics. Another plot sometimes referred to as a carpet plot is the temporal raster plot.
