Abstract:
A method of representing properties of a textile specimen in a manner easily understandable by a user, comprising the steps of:(1) obtaining measurements of the textile specimen for a set of multiple monitored properties of the textile specimen; (2) displaying sectors of a circle, each sector corresponding to one of the set of monitored properties to provide graphical representation of the parameters of the textile specimen by extending radii of the circle from the center of the circle to the outer boundary of the circle to form axes; (3) plotting first values representative of measurements of each of the monitored properties, wherein for each of the monitored properties, the first values are plotted along both the axes that form the sectors that correspond to each respective one of the set of monitored properties; (4) plotting second values representative of reference values of each of the monitored properties, wherein for each of the monitored properties, the second values are plotted along both the axes that form the sectors that correspond to each respective one of the set of monitored properties; (5) for each sector, connecting the first values representative of measurements of the respective monitored property to which that sector corresponds with a first line; and (6) connecting the second values with a second line.
