Exercise 6: Create a bubble chart

Add attributes to both axes to create a bubble chart.

  1. Make a bubble chart plotting Young’s modulus (E) against Density (ρ)
    1. Under Selection Stages, click Chart/Index.
    2. Set the Y-axis to Young’s modulus and set the X-axis to Density.
    3. Leave the Axis Settings as default values to create a log-log plot.
  2. Display family envelopes
    1. Click Show Family Envelopes to look at how data for a given family of materials cluster together.
  3. Label records on the chart
    1. Hover the cursor over the record bubble to see the record name, and then label some records (click over a record and drag).
    2. Try adding labels from the Results list: right-click a record in the list, and select Label on the shortcut menu, then drag the label where you want it on the chart.
    3. If the new label isn’t visible at the current zoom, click Autoscale to display the whole chart again.
  4. Delete this stage
    1. Select the stage in the Selection Stages list and press DELETE.
