While logarithmic scales in the primary interest of LogarithmPlotter, LogarithmPlotter also supports non logarithmic scales, which may be required to use certain features. + + +To do that, LogarithmPlotter uses a system called Objects, which may seem familiar to you if you have used other plotting software like [Geogebra](https://geogebra.org). + +An "object" is anything that can be reprensented on the graph. LogarithmPlotter allows you to create 9 types of objects: +- Points +- Texts (or labels) +- Functions +- Bode Magnitudes +- Bode Phases +- X Cursors (Cursors on the X scale) +- Sequences +- Distributions + +**Note**: In the case of sequences, it's recommended to use the non logarithmic scale. + +LogarithmPlotter will also create it's own objects automaticly when needed (for example, the sums of the bode gains and phases). + +[Next chapter →](User-Manual) \ No newline at end of file
