Connect data points on scatter graph

I currently have a scatter graph to represent the cross section of a creek. I want to connect the data points so that it looks like a line graph.
However, I cannot find an option in the inspector to do this.
Thanks

How can I plot two sets of data points in 3d graph?

I am trying to plot two sets of data points in 3d graph. I also need to make a set of data with one color and the other set with a different color. For example, I need to plot 10 (x,y,z) data points in 3d. Maybe 6 points need to be blue, and the other 4 red. Could you tell me how?

What is your LabVIEW version? (things are a bit different in 8.6).
Basically, you create multiple instances of the VI that gets placed automatically when you drop the 3D graph and then wire a different number to the plot ID at the bottom.
You define all the plots (color, style) via the properties dialog.
Have a look at my example posted here. One plot is "blue dots" and one is a "shaded surface". See how far you get.

How to show health app data points as a graph

Some data points form a graph and others do not.

0FI_AP_0 - go to the master data infoobject of this datasource. Check mark charercteristics is an export datasource in the master data tab
Go to the infoprovider tab in RSA1, Insert this charecteristics as data target.
Use export data mart of this infoobject in your cube creation. You can use this in update rules for update of cube

Interpolated Data-Connecting Data Points

Does anyone know how to connect data points that are not sequential? For example, if I have a column with 15 cells and data in cells 1, 5, 8, 10, and 15. When I chart that data, I want those points to be connected with a line, rather than plotted as individual points. In Excel, you select interpolated from the main preference menu under charts. I've searched interpolation and have not found anything. I'm wondering if this function is called something different in Numbers?

The first method I posted works well if you don't need the "blank" categories/rows taking up space on your chart. But if you need to see the "blank" categories/rows, I have a table that I think will do a straight-line interpolation for you. I'm not sure it is error free but, if not, it'll be obvious when you chart it. I'm also not sure it was the simplest way to do it but a lot of the complexity was a result of my making it easy to add new rows to the bottom. I tend to brute force things so if someone has a simpler solution, I hope they post it.
Copy the table to your spreadsheet. Copy your data to the X and Y columns and your category labels to Column A. If you only have Y data then the X's must be a numeric series (like what's in the table now). Plot your X-Y (or Y-only) data as one series and the interpolated column as another series. Change the interpolated data points to "none" and change the line color if you want to (which I did not do below).

3D Line Graph.vi not displaying line connecting data points.

I'm having trouble getting 3D Line Graph.vi to display the line connecting my data points. I'm collecting latitude, longitude, and depth data from a binary file, loading this data into arrays with a while loop, and sending those arrays to 3D Line Graph.vi. When I tried doing it with arrays created by random number generators, the line is displayed, but when I use it with my actual data, no lines are displayed. I can only see where the data points are when rotating the 3D graph. Any ideas on this would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Morgan

Karunya,
Thanks for the info on the 3-D Curve VI. I tried it and it works. I think I was able to find the problem with 3D Line Graph.vi. It has something to do with plotting very close points away from the origin and scaling the axes to view the line. I have attached an example of where the vi breaks down. In this example, you can see that part of the line is drawn, but when you rotate the graph, you can see that the line is not drawn through all of the points. If you change the scale of the axes, then you eventually get the line to go through all of the points, but then the graph is not very "readable" at that point. It's when you try to zoom in really close to the plotted points.
Thanks!

Coloring data symbols in scatter graphs

Having created a scatter graph with 10 data points I would like to color each point differently. Does anyone know if you can do this?
The complete data series can be colored, so ALL data points can be formatted but I cannot see how each point can be done individually.
If that is not possible, how else can you notate or label each data point on that scatter graph so that they can be identified?
Many thanks
Mark

We may have a different colors for each serie
but can't have different colors in a single serie.

Designate data points in scatter plots

Hey,
I`ve made a correspondence analysis in excel and want to get a scatter plot as .eps-file.
I`ve imported the X and Y values in Illustrator and created a scatter plot. Now I would like
to represent the numbers of data points (like in the illustration below). Is this even possible?
If so, how? Various tutorials didnt help.
Thanks for the help!
Heiko

That's possible. See http://www.m-server.de/m_g/Scatter%20graph-cs5.ai.zip

Data points disappearing on graph windows...

Hi
During the acquisition of a large amount of data from a DAQ-board (PXI-6229), I visualize these points on a graph.
Sometimes, the whole graph window is cleaned then data begin again to be displayed.
Why ? Is it due to a problem with a window buffer (I use a history graph with a big history buffer) ?
Thanks

Hi
Thanks for your suggestions.
I tried using SGL instead of DBL numbers, but the same troubles occur.
I tried too using the express vi "sample compression" to reduce the
number of points by a factor 10... but I get the same troubles.
Here attached is a copy of the screen. There is about 6 s of
measurement displayed (the history buffers are still empty), and the 3
chart screens cleaned some seconds later.
Sometimes more than one minute is displayed, so that the history buffer
begins to be filled. So the troubles do not depend on the history
buffers since they are empty when the trouble occurs.
It is difficult to post the code since it is a big diagram with a lot of functions and connections.
What I'm doing :
I acquire about 30 channels from 3 DAQ boards, in binary mode
(I16). I always plot these data on 3 distinct chart screens (see
attached file) after a renormalization to obtain floating numbers in
volt from 2 bytes numbers.
Is there some buffers involved in this renormalization and display ? How to control these buffers ?
Regards
Denys

Line Graph repeats the starting data point at the end also

Hi,
We have a Line Graph as below. This graph is used to show the Salary changes of a person, over time.
But this graph shows an additional non existing data point. Basically it shows the starting data point once again at the end of the other data points.
The model VO for this graph, does not contain this additional data point record. But the graph repeats the starting data point at the end also.
In the screen-shot you can see that, the graph has three data points. But the table has only two. The first data point in the graph is repeated as the last data point.
Is this a Bug..?
Or an issue with the usage of the DVT tags?
The code is given below.
Please advice.
12 <dvt:graph id="lineGraph1" value="#{bindings.SalaryHistory.graphModel}"

If I understand your question, this from the Pages online help may give the answer:
To mark line, area, and scatter charts with data point symbols:
Select the entire chart. You can also select the chart series (the line or area shape) that you want to mark with data point symbols.
Click Inspector in the toolbar, and then click the Chart Inspector button.
Click Series (except for scatter charts).
Choose a symbol from the Data Point Symbol pop-up menu.
Choose one of the following options from the Symbol Fill pop-up menu:
To fill the symbol with the same color as its outline, choose Use Stroke Color.
To fill the symbol with a solid color, choose Color Fill, click the Fill color well, and pick a color.
To fill the symbol with a gradient, choose Gradient Fill and use the gradient controls to set the colors and change the angle of the gradient.
To fill the symbol with an image, choose Image Fill and select the image you want. You can also resize the image by choosing an option from the pop-up menu above the Choose button.
To fill the symbol with a tinted image, choose Tinted Image Fill and select the image you want. Click the color well to the right of the Choose button to change the tint color. You can also resize the image by choosing an option from the pop-up menu above the Choose button.

Skipping data points in graph's axis

I just started playing with Flex and I have a question. I
have 60 data points in a graph and the 60 show in the horizontal
axis. It looks very cluttered. How can I show just one out of every
five points [0, 5, 10, ...] in the axis?
Thanks for your feedback!

Represent NULL point in Line Graph.

Hi;
      I am using Simple series to supply data to Graph type Line. I have a requirement to represent null data point in Line graph, where marker point for the NULL data point shouldn't be present, instead a straight line should come in between the valid points. Currently if the Data value is null, marker point is coming to 0.
How can i solve this problem using Simple Series?
I am using NW7.0; SP 9

Using scatter graph type in oracle 10g forms using bi beans

hi.. how i can use scatter graph type in oracle 10g using bi beans..
it seems scatter graph is supported in 10g but it doesnt work at all..
i used to use oracle graphics builder in oracle 6i forms,now i need to convert all my old graphs to 10g forms..the line,bar and pie it work very well but the scatter didnt work..
so please if anyone know how to use it please tell me.. and what versions of bi beans support the scatter graph type
thanks.
u can email me in
[email protected]

Hi,
What version of Oracle Forms are you using? If it is 10.1.2.0.2 (10g R2 Phase 2) then the BI Beans version should be 10.1.2.1 (3.2.2.0.24.2).
When you run a Graph, do you see any version numbers?
Regardless of the version, scatter graph should work. What kind of errors are you getting?
When you install BI Beans in JDeveloper, you get access to BI Beans Help. Go to the following topic for setting up data for a scatter graph:
Help -> Building Applications with BI Beans -> Presenting Data in Graphs -> Specifying Data for Graphs
Did you try posting your question on the Oracle Forms forum?

Deleting specific data points from a scatter graph

I cannot seem to figure out how to delete single points in a scatter plot to get rid of the outliers. Someone help me!

I have never used Numbers.
Can't you just delete the data on the source?
The PhD research scientist in me makes me ask you if you are justified in deleting any data points? Even apparent outliers may represent a true data sample. Likewise, how do you know one of the "good" points isn't an aberrant sample that really belongs at an extreme? I would take care of outliers by reanalyzing the sample many times until I averaged it into submission. The only outliers I would outright delete were ones where I could truly question the quality of the analysis based on other data, or it it was truly impossible (e.g., a negative number of apples growing on a tree).
One thing I would do would be make a scatter plot with one set of data and generate my line through it, then generate a second plot on the same page with the outlier data but not plot a line through it. The line would show the relationship I thought really applied but I was also up front about data I had rejected and still presented it for all to see.

How can I connect dots across missing data points in a line chart?

Hi all!
I have a table in Numbers that I update every few days with a new value for the current date (in this case body metrics like weight, etc.), which looks something like this:
Column 1              Column 2      Column 3
Aug 16, 2011         87.1             15.4
Aug 17, 2011         86.6
Aug 18, 2011         86.1
Aug 19, 2011
Aug 20, 2011         85.7             14.6
Aug 21, 2011         85.3
Every once in a while there will be a missing value for a given date (because I didn't take a reading on that day). When I plot each column against the date on a line chart, there is a gap where there are missing data points. The line does not connect "across" missing data points. Is there a way to make the line connect across missing data points?
Thanks for any help. This thing has been driving me nuts!

Leave your nuts in peace.
Don't use line charts but scatter charts.
These ones are able to do the trick.
Of course to do that you must study a bit of Numbers User Guide.
In column D of the Main table, the formula is :
=IF(ISBLANK($B),99999,ROW())
In column E of the Main table, the formula is :
=IF(ISBLANK($C),99999,ROW())
Now I describe the table charter.
In column A, the formula is :
=IFERROR(DAY(OFFSET(Main :: $A$1,SMALL(Main :: $D,ROW())-1,0)),"")
In column B,the formula is :
=IFERROR(OFFSET(Main :: $A$1,SMALL(Main :: $D,ROW())-1,1),"")
In column C, the formula is :
=IFERROR(DAY(OFFSET(Main :: $A$1,SMALL(Main :: $E,ROW())-1,0)),"")
In column D, the formula is :
=IFERROR(OFFSET(Main :: $A$1,SMALL(Main :: $E,ROW())-1,2),"")
In this table, select the range A1 … D5
and ask for a Scatter chart.
You will get what you need.
I asked that points are joined by curves
I just edited the parameters of Xaxis and Yaxis to get a cleaner look.
I repeat one more time that knowing what is written in the User Guides is useful to be able to solve problems with no obvious answer.

How can I label data points in a scatter chart with text strings?

Post Author: Bill B
CA Forum: Charts and Graphs
I need to create a Scatter Chart, with a text label for each data point instead of the xy coordinates. A legend will no longer be necessary.Also, I want to draw "cross-hair" lines on both the x and y axes centered on one particular data point.Any ideas?

Hi
I have the same problem here, did you find any solutions.
Here we are ok if the dimension is displayed in the scatter instead of the measurements but the only options i founds was "Show data" and that option displays the values of the xy.
pls let me know if anybody found any solution for this problem
