MultiVariate Bar Chart

The MultiVariate Bar Chart enables you to visualize multiple categorical dimensions against a numerical measure, split across dynamic grids. It supports grouped or stacked bars, multiple axes, heatmap overlays, and advanced color and tooltip customizations.

Key Features:

  • Supports multiple categorical Axis dimensions.
  • Optional Group dimension to group bars within each axis.
  • Configurable multi-grid layout (rows, columns, margins).
  • Stacked bars toggle for cumulative view.
  • Heatmap overlay via Visual Map.
  • Per-series custom colors, border radii, and shadows.
  • Rich tooltips and axis labels, including log-scale support.
  • Drilldown enabled via click interaction.

Use Cases:

  • Multidimensional category-measure breakdown.
  • Distribution analysis across multiple groups or regions.
  • Stacked or grouped bar visualizations.
  • Custom color-mapped bar charts with heatmap intensity mapping.

βš™οΈ Setup

  1. Add a MultiVariate Bar Chartwidget from the chart library onto your designer workspace.

    • Value β€” Numeric measure for bar length.
    • Axis β€” One or more categorical dimensions (minimum 1, up to 10).
    • Group (optional) β€” Additional dimension for grouped bars within each axis.
  7. Optionally add a Date field for time-based filtering.
  8. Enable Hide Zero Values to omit symbols with zero values if needed.
