Xy scatter plot with 2 y axis how to?

I am interested in an making an XY scatter plot with time points as
the x axis, and with 2 different y axis.
As I mentioned, the x axis
will have the different time in min., that the data was collected, and
the 1 y axis would contain a particular measurement of the sample, and
the other (2nd) y axis would contain a different type of measurement
of the same sample. The problem is that I can't see how to do a 2 y
axis XY scatter plot.
best regards
Peter Valencic

Hi Peter,
This is one of the most requested features for the JFreeChart project. It hasn't been added yet, but it is very near the top of the to-do list.

Hi Peter,
This is the number one feature request for the JFreeChart project. It hasn't been implemented yet, but I will be working on it (I hope) during October. It is going to involve quite a few changes, so I'm not sure how long it will take.

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 With Multiple Data Series

Hello,
I would greatly appreciate any help you guys could give me.
I need one scatter plot that shows 4 different groups of data. They all go with the same X and Y axis values, though.
I can get a scatter graph with ONE group, but it won't let me add in another one. I tried the clicking and dragging the new cells, and the shift clicking, but the data just will not go into the chart. It's like it doesn't recognize it.
I think I read something about sharing the X values? But I don't know how to do that?
Thanks a ton in advance!!

Pop,
Badunit's example is one possible arrangement that you might have described; that is, one column for X values and several columns for Y values. This is the case when you should respond that you are sharing X-values. With all the data in one table, you can select it all at once, so you don't have the problem with dragging additional series into the chart.
The Numbers User Guide PDF's first chapter is the place to start getting your bearings - you will learn how to distinguish Header vs. Body rows and columns. It's worth the effort to take another look at it.
Since you are using a Scatter Chart, it's important not to use a header column for X because X values must be Numeric, as opposed to Text.

Scatter plots with missing data

How can I force the "Connect Points" option to ignore missing data in a scatter plot or line chart?
If I have:
Sequence

1
5
2
4

9
4
8

Numbers will only connect the first four cells with a continuous line, but leave the rest as only points.

LS,
You presently get this:
If you use the Filter in the Reorganize panel to show only non-blank rows, you can get this:

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.

PowerView - scatter plot with an Equation of the line

Hi guys --here is what I'm trying to accomplish in either powerview or powerpivot : i) a 3d scatterplot, ii) with the axis driven by the data model, iii) with the equation of the line (polynimial, log, power etc) adjusting dynamically.
I can find pieces of it in PP and other pieces in PV. Let me know if you want a visual.
Any help would be greatly appreciated - [email protected] 513-638-0070

Or maybe reply here with the visual. =^)
Thanks!

URGENT. Need to make plots with semilog-axis....HOW?

URGENT. Is there any free classes/packages that are useful in plotting data?
My plots should have semilog-axis, so that y-axis is logarithmig (intensity) and x-axis linear (time). There is no need for regressing or something like that, only points in the chart. Semilog-axis -feature is essential.
I found a website: www.vni.com/products/imsl/jmsl_transition.html
and it sounds promising, but I found no way to download the package!!!!
I should also generate gif/jpeg/... image from that plot, but I think I can handle that...
Thanks,
krera.

But it doesn't include semilog-axis.... (I think)JFreeChart does have a logarithmic axis feature. In version 0.8.1 only the y-axis can use a logarithmic scale.
In the CVS version of JFreeChart (on SourceForge) there is now a corresponding feature for the x-axis too. This was contributed by one of the many developers that have submitted code to the project.
Take a look at the displayTimeSeries2Chart() method in the JFreeChartDemo.java source file for an example
of how to replace a standard axis with a logarithmic axis.

Same plot with multiple axis

What I want to do is plot time vs temperature with two y-axis. The first axis (on the left) is deg-C and the second axis (on the right) is deg-F. If I rescale one axis, I want the other to rescale accordingly. I tried plotting time vs deg-C, then computing time vs deg-F and plotting that too (see attached sub-VI). But then it looks like I have two plots! Is there some way to connect the two axis together so that, if one changes, then so does the other?

You could use a property node for the XY Graph to set the maximum and minimum values of one of the Y scales based on another. You would read the maximum and minimum values of one Y scale, calculate the required max and min Y scale values for the other Y scale and then write these values using the property node. The property nodes you would need to look at are 'Active Y scale', 'Y Scale Maximum' and 'Y Scale Minimum'. Use the 'Active Y scale' to choose the Y scale to modify, and then use the 'Y Scale Maximum' and 'Y Scale Minimum' properties to set the required values. The image below describes how this looks like on the block diagram.
I hope this helps!

I have a plot with two cursors - how can I control the "visible" attribute of the second cursor?

I have a waveform graph with multiple plots and two cursors. I can use the "cursor->visible" property to control cursor #1 but I cannot seem to find a way to control the visible attribute for cursor #2. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks,
RGA

There's an "Active Cursor" property that allows you select which cursor the following actions operate on. Remember that property nodes "execute" from top to bottom...

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 Problems

I'm fairly new to Numbers, and I'm having difficulty making scatter plots with some of my data. For instance, I want to create a graph of strain versus force, with force on the x-axis and strain on the y-axis. I have my data in 2 rows, and when I select both rows and choose a scatter plot, I get a bizarre looking chart. Is there a step I'm missing here?

Yvan,
I should have given you more data. I have found that the icon in the upper left corner of the Scatter Chart's data range in the Table can not be switched from columnar to row-wise, as would be the case for a Line Chart. It seems that the icon, and the chart behavior, are stuck on Columnar.
Clicking on the icon will not change it.
Defining a row-wise paring range for a Scatter Chart is ignored and a multi-series Columnar Chart is created instead. There are two ways to identify the behavior, by the color blocks in the data range, as you noted, and by the icon.
This is the Columnar Icon:
This is the Row-wise Icon:
Clicking on the icon should toggle it.
The documentation indicates that either arrangement should work with a Scatter Chart, but clearly in my experience, only column pairs can be used. I can't think of a good reason to restrict this behavior beyond the convention that X-Y data is normally presented in columns.
Thanks for asking the Bug Hunters about this issue.

X and Y Data in scatter plot are different fields but can not be ??

When making a scatter plot with numbers you can select the X data in the series bar (X Value) then click tick then select the y data.
If I do this the initially entered X data becomes the Y data, if you do it vice-versa, the latter entry of y data becomes the X data.
I called up apple support for this issue and after explaining the a technical supervisor in their numbers section what a scatter plot was they said they’d put the issue in my file. Can someone fix this ……. ?
You need to be able to enter a number of different X, Y series of data where X is one column or a portion of that column and Y is a an identical number of rows to each x value but in a different column.
If apple’s wondering why this program’s not professionally used they might what to actually use it before releasing it.

Rubin,
OK, you're using OSX Mavericks 10.9, and Numbers 3.0.1. It would be a good idea to update your profile to show the proper operating system version.
I think you are saying that you cant' add X-Y pairs to the chart as a new series. Apple has switched the default. Scatter Charts used to default to adding pairs of columns representing new X-Y pairs, but now it defaults to the mode called Share X-Axis values, so it thinks you are adding 2 new sets of Y-values sharing the first column of x-values.
The switch for this is in the lower left corner of the Numbers window. This control used to be in the upper left of the chart range indicator in the source table, but they moved it. Click on the "Plot Columns as Series" button to reveal the menu. Then un-check Share X Values.

Lines in Scatter Plots?

Hello,
Well, I can't figure out how to connect points in a scatter plot with a line? Is this possible?
Thanks!
Michael Morrison

Nope, you can't, I just tried, too. With scatter, there seems to be no function to connect points in a series. Really Apple, come on. Do you want to look at a plot with 5 series on it and try to figure out which point belongs to which series? You have to be kidding me there's no way to connect them...

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.

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