PLOTTING CHARACTERISTIC CURVES
To plot these densities on the graph, find the density value reading of step
1 and place a dot at that point. Do the same with steps 2 through 21, as shown
in figure 24. After plotting all the readings, connect the plotted points with a
french curve and straightedge (fig 2-5) . You do not necessarily want to connect
each plotted point. The resulting curve should be a smooth, flowing line with no
angles apparent. Remember to label every graph with all the pertinent
information, because information that is not recorded on the graph may be lost
or forgotten. This

information should include the type of developer, the development
temperature, the development time (or machine speed), the type of film, the
agitation used, and so forth.
