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.

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 (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 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.

Ian.

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

How do to put table of numbers into a scatter plot

I put all the numbers in the table but cannot put them into the scatter plot chart, how do I do this?

Hi talmariexo1,
A Scatter Plot works best if X and Y values are in Body Cells (not Headers).
A Table with one Header Column and one Header Row:
Column A is a Header Column (just an identifier) and does not feature in the Scatter Plot.
Select Columns B and C, then insert your Scatter Plot.
Use Format Panel > Axis to adjust the X and Y steps.
Click on the plot to see Edit Data References.
Column B is grey in this view, but is not a Header Column. Confusing
With Edit Datas References, there are more options at the bottom left of the Numbers Window
But that is another question

Ian.

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 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.

sflakg wrote:
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.

Why won't my data appear on my scatter plot graph in numbers?

I'm making a scatter plot graph and I'm dealing with very small numbers on my x-axis, such as 0.0004 and 0.184 on my y-axis. Every time I plot the scatter plot graph, nothing appears on the graph. Can anyone please help me? Thanks.

just to check in your notification centre,(settings>Notification centre>Messages) did you enable show alerts from everyone? if so
Do a reset by holding the power and home button until the apple logo appears ignoring the slide to power off (no data loss).

How to select all (dots) in a scatter plot matrix?

I have a scatter plot matrix, and I'm manually changing the color of each trend line, which probably isn't the best way but it's an easy but time consuming way to do it. I can't feasibly change the color/stroke of every single scatter plot dot in every single scatter plot graph of the matrix. I'm trying various Select --> Same or Select --> All but it keeps trying to change everything, from the line to the border to the dots. I am not sure if I can group the dots and select all or something. Is there a way to select all of the dots and just the dots?

I feel like I should have posted screenshots of my graphs for all of my questions. In any event I've been manually changing the colors of the lines and the dots (see the few graphs on the left, I highlighted the inside of the graph and changed the dots and the line and then just manually changed the line back)

Highlighting a single data point in a scatter plot - Numbers'09

Is there a way to highlight a single data point on a scatter plot in Numbers'09 (or point to it using a line from each respective coordinate on the x & y axis).
I don't think it matters but the data point i am looking to highlight is the [highest y value/2]... and of course its respective x coordinate once you plug the y value into the equation ( y = f(x) ) and solve for x.

Here is my own tip :
As you see, I use two sets of values.
In the second one I define only the yValue of the data point which must be "highlighted".

Swap X and Y in a Scatter Plot

Seems like this should have a simple answer. I have a table of data, and I'd like to generate a scatter plot of two columns. The plot comes out fine, but I want to "swap" the X and Y axis in the resulting chart.
Is there a simple way to do this? I can't find anything in the chart popup-menu, the inspector, or the application menus.
Cheers
Mike

Michael,
This is a user to user forum, and I'll admit that I don't have a great grip on Numbers Charts, so I may be missing something myself. However, I don't know of an easy way to swap the axes either. What I would do is to create an auxiliary column that repeats the X data in a column just to the right of the Y data. Then I would create a new chart that plots the second and third columns, effectively reversing the axes. The third column can be hidden. Of course you could also just reverse your x and y columns before plotting, but that might be more disruptive to your overall table organization.
Jerry
Update:
I believe that, after some experimentation, I have a better method for you. Highlight the X Range only and create a Scatter Chart. The Chart will be blank since you have not yet supplied a Y range. Then highlight your Y range and drag it to the blank chart. A new Y series will be inserted.
Hope this works for you.
Jerry

How do I connect the scatter plot points in the newest numbers?

I just made a scatter plot for biology and I was wondering how I connect the points with lines

It sounds like all of your wireless clients (computers & printer) are having issues with the overall signal quality of your Wi-Fi network.
I suggest that you check out the following Apple Support article on the sources of Wi-Fi interference and try to identify & eliminate as many as possible to improve your wireless network.
You may also find the following Macworld article helpful on troubleshooting for Wi-Fi interference. Although this article is specific to the AirPort routers, it can equally apply to any manufacturers' product.
