Scatterplot

The Scatterplot displays an X-Y plot of two fields of a table. This chart is typically used to show the relationship between at least two metrics (example: which investments provide a favorable date of return at a low risk).

Inserting a New Scatterplot

1. In the Author Ribbon, click on the "Add New Chart" button (under Pick Charts) and click Scatterplot.

2. If the Data Configuration form is not already showing, click the configuration button to open the Data Configuration window. If the Data Table shown is not the one you want, use the drop-down list to select the right one.

3. Use the pulldown lists to select X Field and Y Field data.

4. Optionally, you can select parameters for Glyph Size and Glyph Shape. The glyph size in the scatterplot correlates to the corresponding data. The glyph shape is determined by data and consists of circles, squares, diamonds, or triangles.

5. Click OK. The scatterplot displays.
