MultiVariate Scatter Chart

The MultiVariate Scatter Chart enables multi-panel scatter plots for visualizing relationships between pairs of numeric measures within a grid layout. Each grid plots one numeric measure against another, optionally scaling each point by a third variable.

Key Features:

  • Supports 2 to 6 numeric measures per scatter plot.
  • Configurable symbol sizing based on a measure, X axis, or Y axis.
  • Customizable multi-grid layout: specify rows, columns, and margins.
  • Optional grouping dimension for series-wise point coloring.
  • Configurable box shadow effects per point for depth.
  • Interactive tooltip and legend settings.
  • Drilldown interactions available on points.

Use Cases:

  • Comparing correlations across different numeric variable pairs.
  • Visualizing relationships and clusters in multi-dimensional numeric data.
  • Multi-panel exploratory analysis of measure interactions.

βš™οΈ Setup

  1. Add a MultiVariate Scatter Chart widget from the chart library onto your designer workspace.
  2. Select the chart.
  3. Go to the Widget Configuration tab in the Customize panel.
  4. Under the Configuration tab, select the Basic Configuration option to access the essential settings for the multi variate scatter chart.
  5. Map:
    • Measure β€” 2 to 6 numeric variables for the X and Y axes.
    • Size (optional) β€” Measure to scale point sizes.
    • Group β€” Dimension to categorize points into different series.
  6. Optionally add a Date field for time-based filtering.
  7. Enable Hide Zero Values to omit symbols with zero values if needed.
