Scatter Single Axis
The Scatter Single Axis Chart displays multiple scatter plots along parallel, independent single axes.
It’s particularly effective for visualizing distribution patterns, outliers, and value concentration across multiple groups or categories.
Each axis represents a separate group, with data points distributed along it based on a categorical or sequential dimension and their numeric measure values.
Use cases:
- Visualizing comparative distributions across multiple groups.
- Detecting outliers and clusters within categories.
- Observing how different groups trend relative to a common dimension.
⚙️ Setup
- Drag the Scatter Single Axis Chart widget from the chart library onto your designer workspace.
- Select the chart.
- Go to the Widget Configuration tab in the Configuration panel.
- Under the Configuration panel tab, select the Basic Configuration option to access essential settings for the Scatter Single Axis Chart.
- Select the Source from which the chart will fetch its data.
- Map:
- Measure (Value) — Numeric value determining the size of each scatter point.
- Dimension (Axis) — Categorical or sequential value plotted along the single axis.
- Group — Categorical field splitting the chart into multiple independent single axes.
- Optionally add a Date field for time-based filtering.
