mixograms

Mixogram is a term used across several technical domains to describe a graphical representation of a mixture. Because there is no single standardized definition, the exact form and interpretation vary by field, but the unifying idea is to visualize how constituent parts blend to produce a result. In audio engineering, a mixogram can be a composite plot that displays the energy or amplitude of multiple tracks across time and frequency, assisting engineers in judging balance and spectral cohesion. In spectroscopy or analytical chemistry, a mixogram may depict the measured spectrum of a mixture alongside the spectra of its pure components, illustrating how signals add and helping to estimate component concentrations via linear decomposition. In statistics and machine learning, mixogram has appeared in some contexts as a visualization of a finite mixture model, showing the component distributions and their mixing proportions to assess fit and identifiability. The term remains relatively specialized, and definitions should be clarified in context. Related concepts include spectrograms, mixture models, and signal decomposition, which share the underlying theme of portraying how individual parts combine to form a whole.
