Scatter Plot¶
Through Scatter Plots, users can display two or more variables’ values using a collection of points in Cartesian coordinates.
The position where a point is placed corresponds to a value: the size of each circle is proportional as a default to the frequency of the values in the dataset. They are used for plotting quantifiable relationships between values in order to identify anomalies, data variance, groups. They are very useful if users wish to understand if there are any general relationships within the data.
Dimension (mandatory fields are in bold) |
Type |
Description |
|---|---|---|
X |
axis/grid |
It controls the coordinates used on the x-axis. |
Y |
axis/grid |
It controls the coordinates used on the y-axis. |
Color |
target |
It controls the marker color of the generated traces. |
Style |
target |
It controls the marker style of the generated traces. |
Size |
output |
It uses the linked attributes as weight operators to evaluate the size of each circle. |
Note
The marker color is also used to show negative values for the output attributes provided in the Size dimension. If the evaluated output value for a particular point is negative, the marker is painted only on its edges. Otherwise, for standard positive values for the output, the marker will be painted inside, and it will be left white on the edges.
