Cartesian Coordinate System Chart¶
Cartesian coordinate system chart now supports two types of charts:
Boxplot Chart: display a statistical chart of a set of data dispersion information. It is mainly used to show the data distribution, and also allows comparison of multiple data distribution groups.
Scatter Chart: display discrete or extreme data points.
Bar Chart: display the quantity or frequency distribution of data.
Dot-Line Chart: display the relationship and distribution between variables.
Area Chart: display the trend of data changes over time or other continuous variables.
Line Chart: display the trend of data changes over time, sequence, or other continuous variables.
Target Chart: display the actual and target values of the indicators, and compare the differences between the actual and target values.
Data Fields¶
The data fields required are:
Field |
Quantity |
---|---|
Dimension |
1 - 2 |
Comparison |
0 - 1 |
Measurement |
Unlimited. The recommended number of boxplot chart is 5. |
Extension |
Unlimited |
The Comparison data field enables you to segregate the data by their Comparison value and plot them as multiple charts on the widget. For example, the chart below shows how the data is separated into Measurement_A and Measurement_B.
You can also show/hide the charts according to their measurement data fields or comparison value by clicking their respective legend labels.
Chart Style¶
Set the style of the Cartesian Coordinate System Chart and match the data fields.

Select + Add and specify the name, type, and measurement data fields for the series. |
Series Style¶
After adding series, you need to configure the style information of the series in the corresponding configuration section.
