Demo 3: Plotting diagram

Plotting the ordination diagram with CanoDraw

1. Switch back to the Project View and click the CanoDraw button. At the startup, CanoDraw for Windows creates a new project from the currently active Canoco project (.con file), ordination results, and the input data file. Confirm the project name (same as for Canoco project, but with a cdw extension) by the Save button. Then select the Environmental variables item from the Project / Nominal variables submenu, and select the SF, BF, HF, NM variables, as illustrated on the snapshot below.
