CS 110 Lecture Notes - Lecture 6: Scatter Plot, Star Chart, Logarithmic Scale
Document Summary
Showing data changes over a period of time. In column charts, categories are typically organized along the horizontal axis and values along the vertical axis. A legend is used to define the differing series. A clustered column chart displays values in 2-d vertical rectangles. A clustered column in 3-d chart displays the data by using a 3-d perspective only. A third value axis (depth axis) is not used. Stacked column charts show the relationship of individual items to the whole. Compares the contribution of each value to a total across categories. A stacked column char displays values in 2-d vertical stacked rectangles. A 3-d stacked column chart displays the data by using a 3-d perspective only. Line chars can display continuous data over time. Ideal for showing trends in data at equal intervals. In a line chart, category data is distributed evenly along the horizontal axis, and all value data is distributed evenly along the vertical axis.
