10.2 Hex Plot
The Hex Plot window provides an overview of the mean gains as well as the 2D analysis graphs for all selected tests. The
tests initially selected are the same as the tests selected in the 2D and 3D Analysis windows.
Mean gains are represented by bars that vary in length according to the mean gain value. The bars are displayed inside a
hexagon. Each side of the hexagon is labeled with a two-letter abbreviation that refers to one of the six semicircular canals:
• LA (left anterior)
• LL (left lateral)
• LP (left posterior)
The outer hexagon represents a mean gain of 1.0. The inner hexagon represent a mean gain of 0.5.
The gain bars are colored according to normative cutoff settings made in the Head Impulse
Reference Manual.
Default colors for data shown in the graphs allow those who are color blind to easily distinguish the different colors. The
default layout of the graphs places the
• left head and eye velocity data on the left
• right head and eye velocity data on the right
You can change the colors used for each type of data and switch the layout (
