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.
