Creating a Chart from ResultsOnce you have performed a query on numeric data, you can create a chart or histogram of that data. While viewing the data table, go to Data->Create Chart From Data. Now there will be a series of panels to guide you through making the chart. Chart TypesThere are 5 different charts you can make. HistogramDivides your data up into bins and displays how often data fall into a certain bin. Gives you the option to choose the number of bins, and what range of data you would like to plot. Histograms are useful when the datasets are very large, because it reduces the number of points that will be plotted easing load on the program. Multiple histograms can be plotted simutainously using the same bin divisions. ScatterCreates an "X vs. Y" plot. One column of data is selected for the domain axis and any number of columns can be plotted against it on the range axis. LineSame as scatter except points are connected by a line. AreaSame as scatter except area underneath the curve is shaded. StepSame as scatter except points are represented by connected horizontal lines. Chart OptionsLabelsYou can choose a title, X-label and Y-label for your chart. Default values are provided using the database column names. Show LegendShows a key for the colors of data points. Useful when plotting multiple series of data. Show TooltipsEnables you to let the mouse float over a data point and see its exact value in a popup window. Chart ZoomingAll charts are zoomable. To zoom in on an area, click and drag on the chart from left to right, selecting the region you wish to zoom in on. To zoom back out, drag from left to right on the chart. |
