Parallel charts
Parallel charts are useful for visualizing high dimensional geometry and for analyzing
multivariate data. Parallel charts resemble line charts for time-series data, but the axes do not
correspond to points in time (a natural order is not present).
Creating a simple parallel chart
- In the Chart Type section, click the Parallel
icon.
The canvas updates to display a parallel chart template.
- Select at least two variables as the Columns variables. Each column
represents a vertical, parallel axis in the chart. Note: The column order is important for finding features. In a typical data analysis, you might need to reorder the columns numerous times.
- Click the Save visualization in the project control. Select Create a new asset or Append to existing asset. Provide a Visualization asset name, an optional description, and a chart name.
- Click Apply to save the visualization to the project. The new visualization asset is now available on the Assets tab.
Options
- Columns
- Lists variables that are available for the chart's Y-axes.
- Color map
- Lists available color map variables. These variables use color progression, based on the range of values in the specified column, to represent themselves in the plot points. Color maps are also known as choropleth maps.
- Primary title
- The chart title.
- Subtitle
- The chart subtitle.
- Footnote
- The chart footnote.
