Sum vectors for dot-plot matrix. A 10 × 10 dot plot diagram sample, along with its four representing sum vectors: • The 'X Sum Vector' which sums all the dots values along the X axis of the diagram. • The 'Y Sum Vector' which sums all the dots values along the Y axis of the diagram. • The 'Diagonal SW-NE Sum Vector' which sums all the dots along the SW-NE diagonal of the diagram. • The 'Inverse Diagonal SE-NW Sum Vector' which sums all the dots along the SE-NW inverse diagonal of the diagram. Where 'Position' refers to a position along the scanned axis, and 'Magnitude' stands for the summed pixel values at that position. The four vectors are compared to other dot plot diagram's vectors in the process of correlation.
