Make trendline thicker on scatter plot?

My trendline or more specifically just the line connecting my points on my scatter plot is blue and skinny. How can I increase the thickness?

See below:
Change colour and thickness of the line/curve connecting data points:
Select the chart by clicking its icon in theSheets list in the sidebar.
Click the square in the tab indicated,
Use the stroke controls indicated to change the thickness of the line (and its colour).
To change colour and thickness of the trend line:
Click the trend line to select it.
Use the stroke controls as above. The controls will appear toward the left end of the Format bar in this case, but will function in the same manner.
In the diagram, the trend line has been set to 2 pts and a teal/turquoise colour; the connecting curve between data points has been set to 7 pts and a darker blue.

Scatter Plot will not start on requested date

Hi,
I am trying to make a very simple scatter plot in Numbers for Mac 3.1. I have created a table with two columns and 44 rows. one column is formatted to dates (year only), the other to numbers (3 decimal places). When I select the table, click on chart and then choose scatter plot, I end up with the chart I would expect to see, except it has added a couple of years I do not want and deciced to plot my first data point on the second unwanted year. How can I overcome this? I have spent hours at this and actually have worked for both IOS and CPU support in Apple so an not a complete idiot with these things, just cant seem to figure it out.
Appreciate any advice!
Regards
Daniel

Hi Jerry,
What I find odd about your description is that there is no way to format a number such as 2000 as a Date, even manually. And, if you enter a date such as 1/1/2000, there's no way to display it as 2000 via the format options.
I entered 2014 in A2 and it showed Automatic format.
I entered 1/1/14 in A3 and it showed Automatic > Date format.
Copy and paste to B2 and B3 then format as Date and Time > Year
Maybe the date display options vary between Regions.
Regards,
Ian.

Line / scatter plot axis problems

I'm trying to create a graph to show the percentage of revenue that is generated by some percentage of classes offered, a la an 80-20 graph. Sample XML:
<DATA>
<RevenueByClass>
<REVENUEBYCLASS_ROW>
<CLASS_NUMBER>1</CLASS_NUMBER>
<PERCENT_OF_CLASSES>.24</PERCENT_OF_CLASSES>
<PERCENTAGE>4.67</PERCENTAGE>
</REVENUEBYCLASS_ROW>
<REVENUEBYCLASS_ROW>
<CLASS_NUMBER>2</CLASS_NUMBER>
<PERCENT_OF_CLASSES>.48</PERCENT_OF_CLASSES>
<PERCENTAGE>6.83</PERCENTAGE>
</REVENUEBYCLASS_ROW>
</RevenueByClass>
</DATA>
Ideally, I want a line graph (which I can make without any trouble) with PERCENT_OF_CLASSES showing up on the X-axis and PERCENTAGE on the Y-axis. My problem is that, because it's a line graph, BI Beans treats the X-axis as ordinal rather than a data axis, so the axis labels are completely haywire. I would like a way to change the line graph so that the axis labels are the same as the Y-axis, preferably every 10% or 20%. Skipping doesn't work, because the total number of classes can vary so the exact percentages can vary as well.
If there is no way to do that, I could try to make it as a scatter plot; however, it's not built into the wizard and I've had little success trying to build it by hand. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately it seems that while most chart types can cope with data in rows, 'scatter' needs data to be in columns. If you create a table the transpose of how you described it, then click Listings and command-click 200, you should be able to create the correct scatter chart. Note that you'll probably then want to click the numbers on the x-axis of the chart (e.g. 80) until a narrow box appears which contains just those numbers. Then, in the chart inspector 'Axis' dialogue enter the value 50 in 'Value Axis Format':'Minimum', and maybe chnge the number of steps to suit (here 3). You might want to repeat this for the y-axis with different values.

How do you make a horizontal average line in a scatter plot?

In any version of Numbers, is there a way to make a horizontal average trendline? Not a "moving average", but one line that is the average that goes through the data points on a scatter plot.

hit a few roadblocks.
I tried:
1. using the crop tool to make the canvas bigger with a transparent background.
2. Used lasso tool over people in group shot (total of 5) and saved the selection
3. Tried content aware scale to raise the image, but it keeps stretching out the people.
Any thoughts on what else I could try?
Rather than trying to stretch it taller, try to squeeze it horizontally. There are methods for telling it what to protect in the image if it gets touchy.
Another possibility is to use Content Aware Fill to make up part at the top and bottom, without any stretching.

Trendline in Scatter plot

Hi,
I have a couple question on Power View 2010
1. I want to know if I can plot regression Trendlines(Linear/polynomial/power) on scatter plot?
2. Navigation between pages- Is it possible to navigate between report pages in Power View 2010 by passing parameters from the first page to the next page?
3. I have a report that has 3 pages. I want to create 2 pages in SSRS 2012 and one in Power View 2010. Is it possible to navigate between these applications and also pass parameters in the URL?
Thanks in advance.

The reason why it hangs is because you have 2 event structures inside a loop. You should only have one event structure in a loop. This is documented in the LabVIEW Help. With 2 event structures one of them will block the other.
Your code is also about 3 times larger than it needs to be:
To create the array of names for the dropdowns you only need to autoindex a for-loop from the 2D array of data and use the Format Into String function. You don't actually need to use the values - you only need to autoindex the for-loop.
Using Delete From Array and Reshape Array just to pull out a row is simply silly (not to mention a Rube Goldberg). That's what Index Array is for.
In the Cursor Move event case you only need one function: Index Array. The point index is already available to you from the event case's data.
Half of the code really belongs outside of the while loop since none of that data ever changes, so what's the point of regenerating it each time?
Instead of using 2 Index Array functions just to get the list of names, wire a True to the Read From Spreadsheet File's transpose? input and use the first row output.
I've attached a simplified version of your VI.

How do I make a best fit line on a scatter plot?

I have a set of data and I made a scatter plot on numbers, but how do I put a best fit line in there?

select the graph, then open the Charts Inspector.
Open the series section (from the options at the top "Chart", "Axis", "Series"), Then select the "Trendline" in the "Advanced" section near the bottom. Finally select the type of trendline

Scatter plot graphs, more than 2 series possible?

It's been very difficult for me to put 3 or 4 series of data in scatter graphs and connect the dots with lines as in Excel, it just doesn't allow me. I made a graph before using line graph model but it turns out that in the x axis (which in this case is time in weeks) I need to show the distance proportionally (i.e. 0,2,6,12 and 16 weeks) and I can't find how to do it with a simple line graph. Tried in excel and is easy using the scatter plot graph (very simple, using exactly the same data arrangement). But numbers does not accept the series of data (it only accepts X,Y per series) and in second place there is not lines connecting the dots. Any of you guys have a suggestion?. I'd really prefer to use numbers bit do not why is so difficult to scatter graph the data. Thanks

The default for X-Y pairs can actually be pretty handy, though often it is not. You can easily turn it into one X and a bunch of Y's. Connecting lines are also available.
My assumption from your post is you have a column of X values and several columns of Y values.
1) All data for a scatter plot must be in "normal" data cells, none in header cells.
2) Select all the X & Y data and create a scatter chart.
3) There is a "gear" at the top left of the colored box in the table that indicates the data in the chart. Click it and choose to share X values. Now you should have one column labeled "X" and several labeled "Y" and your chart will show each Y as a separate series.
4) With the chart selected (the whole chart, not one of the series), go to the Chart tab of the inspector, go to the series tab, look for the words "connect points" and choose what kind of line you want to connect the points. Alternatively or additionally, you could make trendline curves by clicking on "advanced". Also, you can do them one at a time and choose different settings for each series by selecting each series separately.
If you have gaps in your Y data, it will not connect the points on either side of the gap, you will have a missing line segment.
If your X data is unsorted, some connecting lines may go right-to-left, not left-to-right.

Scatter plot with dates

The one reason i use scatter plots is to make the X axis my dates. so i see the duration between data points as real distance horizontally. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do this on the ipad. It seems to not have a way of tweaking the data source so that I can tell it that column B (dates) is my x axis, and column C (lets say remaining data MB's, lets use something everyone on a 250 plan can associate with) is my actual data point to plot.
Anyone figure out this one yet?
Thanks,
Jason

ok, i was able to 'kinda' get it to work (not the labelling, but the scatter plot). It seems you have to select the date column first when selecting data, then drag over to the columns of plotted data and it -might- recognize the dates as the x axis. it took me a good 5 minutes playing to get it to go right.
I also had to check the "Share X values" option under the gear button.
as for the labels, it has a "Number format" and a "Same as source", but if you select same as source, it doesn't give you any choices but plain number for formatting. Same as source doesn't work at all right now for dates.
We both need to submit tickets with apple.com\feedback to let them know. I noticed other little fixes that were not documented in the 1.1 update that people had been submitting tickets on the past few weeks.
Thanks,
Jason

Scatter plot line width

First off, I'm using the trial version of iWork '09. So I want to eventually put a chart into keynote to present to my colleagues, however, putting the chart up on a projector requires me to have a thicker plot line. So if I use a scatter plot, my axis' turn out great, but I cannot adjust the line's width. I don't want symbols, I just want a line connecting the points. If I use the line chart instead of the scatter, the x-axis displays "Untitled 1, Untitled 2" as the labels. I can't change them to the corresponding numbers which is annoying. I can change everything else fine: axis line width, font size, etc. Its just eh connecting line I'm having trouble with

Actually, found a roundabout way to do this. Have to use line chart and in the x-axis label, you have to insert your formula for what cells you want such as Table 1 :: B212:B912 and just set the category counter to only include one label every so many counts. Kind of a pain, but works. However, can't have only the few tickmarks (should be 5 labels and corresponding 5 tickmarks in my case, but I have 5 labels and 700 tickmarks), all are shown instead. It tacks all of the labels individually, but you can choose which ones are shown, but cannot remove tickmarks... Any ideas?

Scatter Plot (Change how dots are connected)

Hello,
I'd like to make a scatter plot where each dot represents some x-y value but the dots also have a temporal property so I want to draw a connecting line between the dots to show this. In theory this means the dot on the far left could be connected to one on the far right and then the connecting line reaches back to a dot in the middle of the chart.
Is there a way of controlling how the line connects the dots?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Keith

The only way I can think to do that would be to manually add line objects (shapes) between data points - draw a line and set its style then Option-Drag to clone the line to connect to the next pair of plotted points. You could even add arrowheads to give a sense of direction, if you think it might need that.
Before doing this, I suggest you lock down the chart (Arrange > Lock) so that you don't mistakenly move the chart while placing the connecting lines.
Good Luck.

Scatter plot with categories

I'm wondering if there is any way to make a histogram scatter plot like this one in Numbers:
http://www.clinsci.org/cs/099/0505/cs0990505f01.gif
At the moment I have a bunch of values in three columns. This seems like it should be super straightforward to do but I can't figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Maybe histogram isn't the right word. Dot plot, maybe? Kaleidograph does this very easily but the aesthetics aren't what I'd like them to be. Here's their example:
http://www.synergy.com/samples.htm#
It's the "dot plot" under the "stat" category.
The best I've been able to do is sort the values in each category in ascending order and then plot them along the same X axis, so you get a sense of the difference in the distributions:
http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10100218167068253&set=a.10100218167028333 .2760006.1229661
This is less than ideal because I don't have the same number of values in each category, so I have to insert empty cells in order to get a comparable 'run' (so to speak).
It just seems like it would be trivially simple to make this sort of plot, but there doesn't seem to be an option for it.

Scatter Plot Problem!!

Hello everyone,
I am quite new at Labview and I have a question regarding plotting 2d-array in a scatter plot.
I would like to plot my data as a scatter plot, which I have done with the Waveform graph, and now I would like to find out the area with the highest density in the scatter plot
and mark the area with a circle...is it possible in Labview to realize this?? I would be very thankful for every tips!
Thank You
Best Regards
Yun

Yes it is possible. You said you are using a waveform graph, wouldn't an XY graph be a better choice? I don't know the data you are getting so a waveform graph might be the right tool here.
In either case you'll need to define a length of X that you want to find the denses amount of points. So say X=1 so then you will find all the points between 0 and 1 and count them, then 0.1 to 1.1 and count them, then 0.2 to 1.2 for the length of X on your graph. Doing this in a For loop will make it easy, and then your output will be an array of counts for each section. Find the maximum using the Array Max & Min function.
Then you can highlight the graph using property nodes. You can use a cursor, or annotation, or a custom picture. The easiest would probably be an Annotation and in the Example finder there is one called "Graph Annotations" that find the minimum, maximum, and average values for a graph and put an overlay on the graph.

Scatter plot is broken and useless

In all, numbers is quite nice, but the scatter plot seems to be a last minute panic addition. It is basically unusable.
1. There is only one range field even though there are two axes. And the range field affects both axes at once(!) Very interesting when your x range is 0..1 and y -1000..1000 for instance. You can not have different number of steps on the different axes either.
2. There doesn't seem to be any way to add lines between the points. Come on, how hard could that be?
3. This one requires no words: http://www.csc.kth.se/~ol/numbers.png (hint, look closely at the x axis)

Actually, with #1 you can set the 2 axes limits etc separately, Apple just didn't make the way it works very clear. If you want to change the X limits only you have to click the text field containing the X axis labels just below the axis. After that, if you edit the limits in the inspector you'll only change the X. Same goes for changing Y. If you have the whole figure selected it changes both. Not a very clear way to design it, but it does let you do it...
Now as for 2 and 3..... not good. Numbers definitely needed more time in the oven.
To scatter plot gripes I'd also add:
4) Scatter plots require paired columns of X and Y but several sets of Y values can't share one column of X data in numbers. If several sets of Y values share one set of X values you still have to copy the X column to pair it with each Y column which bloats your spreadsheets with a lot of redundant data.
5) Plots including date/time values on the X axis don't work properly. It just seems to treat all time values as 0.
6) No ability to do regression lines on a scatter plot.
7) Scatter plots can only work with data organized into columns, they don't work for data in rows.

Scatter Plot Option

In many cases a scatter plot is necessary to evaluate measured data. A direct option to select a scatter plot chart in the 2D-axes Dialogbox
would improve the usability of Diadem VIEW a lot.

Hi ntur,
It's not as convenient as a scatter plot option but you can at least workaround by configuring markers on the curve in a color of your choice while at the same time setting the curve color to none. Maybe you can make use of some self-defined standard layouts so you don't need to configure the curve / marker parameters each time.

How can i relocate R^2 and equation values in scatter plot?

hey, i used Numbers to crate scatter plot and findig trendline and R^2 values.
the problem is that numbers automaticly put the values in the left side of the plot, and i couldnt find a way to edit their location.
there is a way to do that?
btw i usees the last version with OSX 10.9.

I do not see how to move these either. Looks like intent is that the user NOT be able to move as there is a formatter for the R^2 value and the equation when they are selected.
