Scatter Plot

The Scatter Plot reveals correlations and dependencies between two or more numeric properties. Each data point is a single measurement plotted by its field values on the X and Y axes, making clusters, outliers, and trends immediately visible.

Drop one numeric field onto X-axis and another onto Y-axis. Each measurement becomes a dot at the intersection of its two values.

Y-axis: heat_consumption
X-axis: energy_consumption
heat │ ●
│ ● ●
│ ● ●
│ ●
│ ●
└────────────────────── energy
low high
Trend: higher energy → higher heat (positive correlation)

When you need to compare more than two dimensions at once, add grouping fields to the Series section. Each unique combination of group values gets a distinct color, making it possible to spot patterns across multiple segments in a single chart.

Example: Compare heat and energy consumption across buildings and floors — each floor of each building is a separate color group.

Y-axis: heat_consumption
X-axis: energy_consumption
Series: building name + floor
heat │ ● Retroville F1 ○ Retroville F3
│ ● Astarta F1
│ ○ ○
│ ● ● ○
│ ●
└────────────────────────── energy
● = Retroville F1/F3 (clustered low-right = efficient)
● = Astarta F1 (clustered high = less efficient)
