Scatter Graphs
Scatter graphs can be used to plot two numerical columns against each other. For example, let’s log the following: Open in your consolex
column for the x-axis and the y
column for the y-axis.

age
for the x-axis, salary
for the y-axis and group by gender
.
We can also add a line of best fit to each group in the plot.
Expand
Expand

gender + nationality
with the equation gender + nationality
.
We can then group by this new column.
Expand
Expand

gender
, one which groups by location
and one which groups by both.
We can then save this and revisit this dashboard again any time in future,
whenever more data is added into the project.

Line Graphs
Line graphs are similar to scatter graphs, but a line is drawn between each from left to right. This makes them especially suitable for plotting time-series data. Let’s take the same example as before, but plot it as a line graph. Open in your consoleExpand

time
for the x-axis, speed
for the y-axis and group by model
.

we can create a derived endpoint
column to plot a unique line for each model

combination.
Let’s create some dummy data for this scenario:

Bar Charts
Bar charts are different to line graphs and scatter graphs. The x axis does not represent individual numerical values, but instead represents groups of data of any type (which share the same value). The y axis then represents a reduction across the data in each group (bar) in the graph. For example, let’s say we’ve run two experiments, which vary the tool use and the system message.

Histograms
Finally, we can also plot histograms, which take a single numeric column, and then bucket this data inton
bins on the x-axis, and plot the count of data in each bin on the y-axis.
For example, let’s say we want to see the distribution of user traffic over the past year.
