It is a troublesome time in a research scholar's life when his/her entire research work has to be summarized in a few plots/graphs. Now capturing all of these are difficult. How much can you show graphically?
Bringing in all the data, the inferences and outcomes due to them, all on a set of plots; I thought it wouldn't do justice to the amount of time, effort and the sacrifices that have come along generating and 'verifying' them .
My peers and seniors would say, 'It is easy. Very very easy'. How, I asked ?
'Don't you know some thing called 'MATLAB'. Use it, my friend.' (Just for the folks working in "my area of interest". There are a score of other tools available)
There are times when just adding a graph increases the value of your work manifold while writing papers to communicate your research work, this is one of them.
The above two graphs are taken from my work on "On-chip Non-intrusive Temperature Detection and Compensation of a Fully Integrated CMOS RF Power Amplifier", presented at the 30th International Conference on VLSI Design and 16th International Conference on Embedded Systems.(VLSID 2017).
My list of publications [here] where I have used graphs and plots to communicate my data effectively.
In my search to add more value to my work, I came across, few interesting links. I am just compiling a few here.
1. Plot 2-D lines on both y-axes
2. 1 x-axis, many y-axes, different y-limits. Try this one !!
3. ...

Why ? They are the "life" of the work. Each and every plot !!
Plots of "Life"
Inset graph in an other plot is a wonderful way of drawing a reader's attention to a section you want.The above two graphs are taken from my work on "On-chip Non-intrusive Temperature Detection and Compensation of a Fully Integrated CMOS RF Power Amplifier", presented at the 30th International Conference on VLSI Design and 16th International Conference on Embedded Systems.(VLSID 2017).
