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.
