1. A method of producing a graphical depiction of a value of a property of a polyurethane material, the method comprising:
generating, by a processing unit, a plot defining a geometric shape, a first axis comprising a plurality of first variables, and a second axis comprising a plurality of second variables;
generating, by the processing unit, a plurality of points arranged in a matrix based on the first variables and the second variables, each of the points defining a value of a property of a material formed by a combination of one of the first variables and one of the second variables; and
displaying, on an output device, a visual representation of the respective values of the property of the material at at least two of the plurality of points in a range of indicia;
updating, by the processing unit, the visual representation of the respective values of the property of the material at the at least two of the plurality of points in the range of indicia based on a change in the constraint, wherein:
the constraint is changed by a slider or listbox;
each of the points defines values of a property of the material formed by a combination of one of the first variables and one of the second variables;
the range of indicia represents a comparison of the respective values of the property and a constraint for each property;
each of the first variables and the second variables represent different polyisocyanates or different polyols; and
the polyurethane material is a foam, a coating, an adhesive, a sealant, an elastomer, a sheet, a film, a binder, or an organic polymer.
