how to plot real part of impedance in Smith chart

 Hello,

I'm wondering how I can view or output the real part of the impedance of a Smith chart plot.  In the pic attached, on the left is the impedance plotted on a Smith chart.  On the right is what I get when I hit Graph-->Display Type--> RealVs.Imag.  It seems like the result doesn't make sense though, because it's saying the real part is less than 1, when it clearly is always greater than 1 on the Smith chart.

Thanks for your help!
