Abstract:
1. A method for displaying ordinate-abscissa value pairs on a display device with discrete display points in abscissa and ordinate direction, of which the abscissa resolution and the ordinate resolution is reduced by comparison with the abscissa resolution and the ordinate resolution of the ordinate-abscissa value pairs, said method comprising: determining interpolated ordinate values of additional ordinate-abscissa value pairs through interpolation of the ordinate-abscissa value pairs to be displayed in the respective half spacing distances between the respective abscissa values relative to the respective adjacent abscissa value to the right and to the left of the display points; determining the respective maximum ordinate value and the respective minimum ordinate value of every ordinate-abscissa value pair and of every additional ordinate-abscissa value pair, which is disposed within the half spacing distance of the respective abscissa value relative to the respective adjacent abscissa value to the right and to the left of the display points; and replacing all ordinate-abscissa value pairs and all additional ordinate-abscissa value pairs, which are disposed within the half spacing distance of the respective abscissa value relative to the respective adjacent abscissa value to the right and to the left of the display points, with an area between the respective maximum and the respective minimum ordinate value and the half spacing distance of the respective abscissa value relative to the respective adjacent abscissa value to the right and to the left of the display points.
