There are seven plot types in SuperPlot - seven options in the Plot type. drop-down menu in the SuperPlot GUI:

  1. One-dimensional plot. Your chosen parameter on the x-axis and marginalized posterior pdf and profile likelihood on the y-axis. The best-fit point, posterior mean, credible regions and confidence intervals are also plotted.

  2. Two-dimensional posterior pdf. Your chosen parameters on the x-axis and y-axis and marginalized posterior pdf plotted as an image with an accompanying color bar. The best-fit point, posterior mean and credible regions (as unfilled contours) are also plotted.

  3. Two-dimensional posterior pdf, filled contours only. Your chosen parameters on the x-axis and y-axis and credible regions plotted as filled contours. The best-fit point and posterior mean are also plotted.

  4. Two-dimensional profile likelihood. Your chosen parameters on the x-axis and y-axis and profile likelihood plotted as an image with an accompanying color bar. The best-fit point, posterior mean and confidence intervals (as unfilled contours) are also plotted.

  5. Two-dimensional profile likelihood, filled contours only. Your chosen parameters on the x-axis and y-axis and confidence intervals plotted as filled contours. The best-fit point and posterior mean are also plotted.

  6. Three-dimensional scatter plot. Your chosen parameters on the x-axis, y-axis and color-bar; the first two parameters are scattered with points colored by the value of the third parameter. The best-fit point, posterior mean, confidence intervals and credible regions are also plotted. Scatter plot

  7. One-dimensional delta chi-squared plot. Your chosen parameters on the _x-_axis and profiled chi-squared with the minimum chi-squared subtracted on the y-axis. The confidence intervals are shown with shaded regions and the best-fit point is plotted.
