A codon position is biased if the elliptical trace:
  1. is not centered on the center of the (square) graph frame, and/or
  2. contains a smaller-than-random volume.

First position - dashed. Second position - solid.

The strongest components (bias) for the encoding of amino acid residues are, in order:

C in 2nd position = small size, medium hydropathy

U in 2nd position = average size, hydrophobic

A in 2nd position = average size, hydrophilic

U in 1st position = not hydrophilic

The y-axis is accurate (cubic Ångströms (ų)), but the x-axis could have some error from estimates of hydropathy.
