Hi All
I need help in plot. I am trying to use excel data and plot from the excel data. But there are lots of data becuse of this the plot has very minute lines in it. Something like this below:
the x-axis is the frequency. Please suggest how I can plot it to look something better and continuous.

Please attach the excel file and the code you are working with.

Looks like there are many jump discontinuities.
Try describing what the plot is all about, so that we can advise something.
Don't forget to attach the Excel data file. Click on the paperclip icon.

Hi Bhawya,
I understand that you are trying to plot the excel data. Since there are alot of data, the plot contains very minute lines.
To improve the appearance of your plot with a large amount of data, you can try the following techniques:
  1. Downsampling: Instead of plotting every data point, you can reduce the number of data points by taking an average or selecting representative points. This will help simplify the plot and make it less cluttered.
  2. Smoothing: Apply a smoothing technique to your data to reduce noise and make the plot more continuous. You can use methods like moving averages, splines, or low-pass filters to achieve this.
  3. Increasing plot size: Enlarge the plot size to make the lines more visible. This will allow you to see the details more clearly without the lines appearing too thin.
  4. Adjusting line thickness: Increase the thickness of the lines in your plot to make them more prominent. Thicker lines will be more visible, especially when dealing with a large amount of data.
  5. Using different line styles or markers: Instead of using solid lines, you can try using dashed or dotted lines to differentiate between the data points. Additionally, you can use markers at each data point to make them stand out.
  6. Changing color scheme: Experiment with different color schemes to find one that makes the lines more distinguishable. Make sure to choose colors that have enough contrast to differentiate between the lines.
  7. Using interactive plots: If your data has a high density of points, consider using interactive plots that allow zooming and panning. This way, users can explore the plot at different levels of detail.
Remember, the specific techniques you choose will depend on the nature of your data and the type of plot you are creating.
I hope this helps!
