The distribution of the length of connecting lines between points in a Fry plot can be further analyzed by looking at the frequency distribution of lines that fall within a particular length range. This allows an easy assessment of clustering effects and enables you to semi-quantitatively determine the characteristic spacing of linear arrays observed on the Fry plot.

DotProc's Line length frequency plot window looks as follows:

Line length intervals are calculated by dividing the longest line in the distribution plot by the number of segments indicated.

The data can be saved as tab-delimited text files (or copied to clipboard) that can be opened in data management programs such as Excel, where the data can be analyzed further.

The chart can be zoomed by dragging the mouse selecting a zoom rectangle. To zoom all drag the mouse towards top-left.

Click on "Show / Stop" button or press "ESC" key to stop the operation.

The following attributes of the Line length frequency plot can be changed by selecting "Tools / Settings" menu item:
