Abstract

A method of displaying a scattergram includes measuring a plurality of particles with a particle measuring apparatus and preparing distribution data representing a frequency distribution of the particles on a two-dimensional coordinate plane based on a pair of parameters obtained from each of the particles. Thereafter, a scattergram is displayed based on the distribution data on a color display device by allowing the coordinates of a particle to correspond to a pixel, each of the pixels being made of three fundamental color luminescent components. A luminance of each of the three fundamental color luminescent components corresponds to a frequency of the particles on the scattergram. As such, the frequencies of the particles are displayed in different colors.
