BiVariate Scatter Chart
A BiVariate Scatter Chart visualizes two quantitative measures against each other in a multi-grid layout, optionally encoding a third quantitative variable as marker size.
You can split the chart into multiple grids based on a Split dimension, and optionally group data points into series using a Group dimension.
Key Features:
- Multi-grid layout via Split dimension.
- Group series within each grid.
- Optional dynamic symbol size based on Size measure, X or Y axis values.
- Configurable box shadow effects on points.
- Supports log or linear scales for both axes.
- DataZoom (slider + inside) for axis zooming.
- Heatmap coloring via a VisualMap.
- Rich tooltips and legend customization.
- Responsive and accessible via ARIA.
Use Cases:
- Visualizing correlation between two measures across multiple categories.
- Bubble scatter trends by time periods, regions, or product types.
- Comparing sales vs. profitability with volume as bubble size.
- Outlier detection and multi-category analysis.
