Scatter Plot

X-axis and Y-axis:

You need to select the X and Y axes from the dropdown list of the column names in the table. You can also switch the X and Y axes if you wish.

Legend Groups: when building a plot from a current table, you may group the data by different ways. Grouped data will be shown with the same point markers (8 marker shapes and 12 colors available).

Please select the way of grouping the data:

  1. Group by Table (default): Group data by table ID.
  2. Group by Glass No: Group data by glass number.
  3. Do not group: Gather all data into a common dataset.

Tip

When visualizing series data, e.g. viscosity, it is recommended to use Group by Glass No option for a single table.

Example

For example, open a table with ID: 206 (it contains viscosity data), choose the Scatter chart type (default).

Select T,°C for the X-axis and log(η,P) for the Y-axis. The result will look exactly as you have seen above.

Now let us change the Legend Groups option to Group by Glass No, and the Display to Points+Lines to get a better view of each glass.

The legend is now displayed for each glass instead of the Table ID.

Does it look complicated? Don't worry! Double-click on the legend you want to see.

For example, double-click on the legend name Glass No: 20006:
