Standard Visualizations

Visualize
Data Visualization is a graphical representation of data. Spotfire visualizes, interacts, and shares
the data to find out the risk and opportunities in the analysis. Spotfire deploys visualization
through graphs, 3D charts, and other interactive forms.
Spotfire allows us to visualize the data using relationship of one variable with another. Also,
users can select different charts involving those relationships as they wish to.

A number of different visualization types are available.

The characteristics of each visualization type are described in separate topics:

 Table
 Cross Table
 Graphical Table
 Bar Chart
 Line Chart
 Combination Chart
 Pie Chart
 Scatter Plot
 Map Chart
 Treemap
 Heat Map
 Parallel Coordinate Plot
 Summary Table
 Box Plot
 Text Area
 

Aggregation methods for the numerical values can be changed by accessing the
dropdown of the axes levels.
Marking in visualization:

You can mark items in a visualization to view details for the item or to clarify the connection between
visualizations that are related. Marking a pie or a bar is equivalent to marking all the rows that are
included in that pie or bar.

To mark a single item

If you want to mark only one item in a visualization, such as a bar segment, a scatter plot marker, or a
pie sector, just click on the item of interest, and it will become marked.

To mark multiple items

Click and drag with the mouse pointer to draw a rectangle enclosing multiple interesting items:

If you want to mark several items that are spread out in the visualization so that they cannot be
enclosed by a rectangular shape, you can use lasso marking instead. Press and hold down the Alt
key and draw a shape of any form to enclose the items of interest:

You can also mark a section on an axis to include all items within that section. Place the mouse
pointer in the area of the scale labels and then click and drag with the mouse along the axis:
 Unmarking Items
There are several ways to unmark a previously marked item.

Procedure

1. You can unmark everything by clicking on an empty area of any visualization.

2. Re-marking any marked items while Ctrl is pressed will unmark them.
3. Click to mark a new item. If Ctrl is not pressed, only the new item will be marked.
