Modal value

In a histogram are shown, for each joint family, the distribution of the characteristic (aperture, spacing, persistence). On the x-axis, (logarithmic scale), are represented the characteristics, while on the ordinate (linear scale), the number of occurrences or measures corresponding to each subdivision class (ex. class 0-4 mm).

The user can plot sequentially all the measured families.

The modal value of a characteristic (aperture, spacing, persistence) is the class with the largest number of measurements. In the same graphic can be shown the minimum and maximum values of the plotted characteristic.

In the diagram are represented the apertures of a joint family, whose modal value corresponds to the class 0.5 - 0.6 mm.
