Modify label in a scatter plot

Hello,
I need help with a scatter plot ...
I have 3 columns of datas (column A, B and C).
I represent A on the X axis, B on the Y axis and C at the intersection.
I display labels but I need to modify them to display C, near the point. Is it possible ?
example :
10     5     test1
20     10     test2
and I want
X test2
| X test1
|____________
Thanks.

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,

Scatter Plot - Field Label instead of Legend

I am using the scatter plot wizard to create a chart.
As it works currently, it plots all of the points on the graph as a unique shape/color, and has a legend with the field name for reference.
Is there anyway to place the field name next to the point on the graph?
I have seen quite a bit about Markup text such as:
<MarkerText visible="true"><Y1ViewFormat><ViewFormat decimalDigit="0" decimalSeparatorUsed="true" decimalDigitUsed="true"/></Y1ViewFormat></MarkerText>
Using that gives me the data points (e.g. there is a Triangle and then 5,10) , but I want to put the field name inside instead. (e.g. Triangle and then "Sales")
thanks

Parvatha,
Yeah. It does not matter what you have on the first row. You will only use the split criteria to split the data into fields in your table. So it does not matter what you have at the first row.

Label each point in scatter plot

Hi There,
I am plotting a set of data (in x,y format) on a scatter plot. Is there a way in labview such that when i move mouse over some dot it can tell me information about that dot (like the name of that set).
Thanks in advance
Yogesh
PS: i am using Labview 8.2
Solved!
Go to Solution.

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.

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 using time series function - Flash charting

Apex 3 + XE + XP
I am trying to build a time series scatter plot chart using flash chart component.
Situation :
On each scout date counts are taken within each crop. I want to order them by scout dates and display them in a time series chart. Each series represents different crop.
I am posting the two series queries I used
Queries:
Series 1
select     null LINK, "SCOUTDATES"."SCOUTDATE" LABEL, INSECTDISEASESCOUT.AVERAGECOUNT as "AVERAGE COUNT" from     "COUNTY" "COUNTY",
     "FIELD" "FIELD",
     "VARIETYLIST" "VARIETYLIST",
     "INSECTDISEASESCOUT" "INSECTDISEASESCOUT",
     "SCOUTDATES" "SCOUTDATES",
     "CROP" "CROP"
where "SCOUTDATES"."CROPID"="CROP"."CROPID"
and     "SCOUTDATES"."SCOUTID"="INSECTDISEASESCOUT"."SCOUTID"
and     "CROP"."VARIETYID"="VARIETYLIST"."VARIETYLISTID"
and     "CROP"."FIELDID"="FIELD"."FIELDID"
and     "FIELD"."COUNTYID"="COUNTY"."COUNTYID"
and      "INSECTDISEASESCOUT"."PESTNAME" ='APHIDS'
and     "VARIETYLIST"."VARIETYNAME" ='SUGARSNAX'
and     "COUNTY"."COUNTNAME" ='Kings' AND CROP.CROPID=1
order by SCOUTDATES.SCOUTDATE' ASC
Series 2:
select     null LINK, "SCOUTDATES"."SCOUTDATE" LABEL, INSECTDISEASESCOUT.AVERAGECOUNT as "AVERAGE COUNT" from     "COUNTY" "COUNTY",
     "FIELD" "FIELD",
     "VARIETYLIST" "VARIETYLIST",
     "INSECTDISEASESCOUT" "INSECTDISEASESCOUT",
     "SCOUTDATES" "SCOUTDATES",
     "CROP" "CROP"
where "SCOUTDATES"."CROPID"="CROP"."CROPID"
and     "SCOUTDATES"."SCOUTID"="INSECTDISEASESCOUT"."SCOUTID"
and     "CROP"."VARIETYID"="VARIETYLIST"."VARIETYLISTID"
and     "CROP"."FIELDID"="FIELD"."FIELDID"
and     "FIELD"."COUNTYID"="COUNTY"."COUNTYID"
and      "INSECTDISEASESCOUT"."PESTNAME" ='APHIDS'
and     "VARIETYLIST"."VARIETYNAME" ='SUGARSNAX'
and     "COUNTY"."COUNTNAME" ='Kings' AND CROP.CROPID=4
order by SCOUTDATES.SCOUTDATE' ASC
Problem
As you can see the observations are ordered by scout date. However when the chart appears, the dates dont appear in order. The chart displays the data from crop 1 and then followed by crop 4 data, which is not exactly a time series chart. Does flash chart support time series or they have no clue that the data type is date and it should be progressive in charting ? I tried to use to_char(date,'j') to converting them and apply the same principle however it did not help either.
Any suggestions ?

Arumugam,
All labels are treated as strings, so APEX will not compare them as dates.
There are two workarounds to get all your data in the right order:
1) Combine the SQL statements into single-query multi-series format, something like this:
select null LINK,
"SCOUTDATES"."SCOUTDATE" LABEL,
decode(CROP.CROPID,1,INSECTDISEASESCOUT.AVERAGECOUNT) as "Crop 1",
decode(CROP.CROPID,4,INSECTDISEASESCOUT.AVERAGECOUNT) as "Crop 4"
from "COUNTY" "COUNTY",
"FIELD" "FIELD",
"VARIETYLIST" "VARIETYLIST",
"INSECTDISEASESCOUT" "INSECTDISEASESCOUT",
"SCOUTDATES" "SCOUTDATES",
"CROP" "CROP"
where "SCOUTDATES"."CROPID"="CROP"."CROPID"
and "SCOUTDATES"."SCOUTID"="INSECTDISEASESCOUT"."SCOUTID"
and "CROP"."VARIETYID"="VARIETYLIST"."VARIETYLISTID"
and "CROP"."FIELDID"="FIELD"."FIELDID"
and "FIELD"."COUNTYID"="COUNTY"."COUNTYID"
and "INSECTDISEASESCOUT"."PESTNAME" ='APHIDS'
and "VARIETYLIST"."VARIETYNAME" ='SUGARSNAX'
and "COUNTY"."COUNTNAME" ='Kings'
AND CROP.CROPID in (1,4)
order by SCOUTDATES.SCOUTDATE ASC2) Union the full domain of labels into your first query. Then the sorting will be applied to the full list, and the values of the second series will be associated with the matching labels from the first.

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 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.

Sort x values highest to lowest in scatter plot?

I want to do a simple scatter plot, which actually works fine and looks like this:
The only problem is, I have to sort the x axis the other way round, starting with 24 copies going down to 10. Anybody got ideas?
C.

Hi C,
Would this work?
The method requires an auxiliary column in the data table and one edit to the chart. I added a second edit to the chart, adding weight to the connecting lines between data points, but that one is strictly cosmetic.
Auxiliary column in the table:
Insert a new column before column B. It will become column B.
Formula:
B2: =24-A
24 is the maximum value in column A. "A" references the column A cell on the same row as the formula.
Fill down to the bottom of column B. Results as shown. After creating the chart, this column may be hidden.
Chart:
Select cells B2:E7.
Select Scatter Chart from the Charts button.
When the chart is generated And still selected), click the gear icon at the top left of the selected cells and choose Share X values.
Select the box containing the x axis labels. Press delete to delete this box.
Click the Text box button in the Toolbar to insert a Text box.
Enter 10 in the Text box. Adjust the width of the box to a loose fit around the number.
With the box selected, press command-D seven times to create another seven identical boxes.
Edit the contents of these boxes to contain the even numbers from 10 to 24.
Carefully place the box containing 10 directly below the first data point on the chart, and as far below the x axis as you want the row of labels to appear.
Carefully place the box containing 24 directly below the last data point on the chart, and slightly lower on the page than the box containing 10.
Place the other boxes in ascending order between and slightly below the two boxes already placed.
Select all eight of these boxes, but nothing else.
Go Arrange (menu) > Align Objects > Top
Go Arrange > Distribute Objects > Horizontally
Go Arrange > Group
If desired, adjust the weight and colours of the data point icons and connecting lines.
Note: Any revisions to the data will likely require repeating the construction above.

Numbers: Scatter plot naming

Is it possible to plot words next to the points on a scatter plot in Numbers?
I am plotting the scatter plot with the x as a year and the y as 0 for a timeline.

Your best route would be to make Text Boxes for Labels and manually position them along your X-Axis.

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.

XY Scatter Plot Problems

XY scatter plots that were successful previously now are in error. They now appear as "column type" charts with the horizontal axis simply the index of the data point (that is, 1, 2, 3, ...). This problem has appeared after the recent
update of MS Office 2013. Please help quickly!

Hi,
Plese try to change the chart type. Click the chart->Design Tab->Change Chart Type->choose
X Y Scatter.
Also when right click the chart->Select Data, what does the labels of
Legend and Horizontal look like?
If possible, please share the workbook with us ,you can upload the file to a file sharing site and then share the link here.

How do I do a scatter plot? Plus, blank chart isn't blank!

Something strange is going on with my Numbers app...
But, before I get to that, I'm seeking confirmation on how to create a scatter plot.
I have data arranged as such:
Year     Rate
January 2009     7.8
February 2009     8.3
March 2009     8.7
April 2009     8.9
etc.
(formatting looks weird, but it's two columns)
1. Don't I simply select the variable names and the data, and then tap the + sign and scroll down for the scatter plot? (Skipping the line chart icon, but tapping the one below that.)
Alas, every time I do that I end up with two series of data, with a legend at the top that labels the two series as 2009 and 2011!! In other words, not a scatter plot and not the right variable names (there shouldn't be a series legend in any case).
I've tried just selecting the variables and data, skipping the variable names, but get the same result.
2. Now, here's where things get weird. I de-selected the data and then tried creating a blank chart, to which I would add data. That did not create a blank chart, but a virtually identical chart to the one before.
I'm now wondering if somehow something's gotten corrupted or I inadvertently set a default chart that Numbers isn't overriding.
Any and all suggestions welcome!
3. Oh, and by the way, is there any way of turning off the "Tap the chart to add data" message that appears each time and overlays the chart? It's a nuisance!

Ok I got it to work. What I did was replace the bundle function of the waveforms with a build array function. This broke my clear history property node but I fixed that by creating a new control. Now I'm going to try it again from scratch to figure out what happened

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.

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.
