Creating scatter plots

On the Scatter plot page, you can examine relationships between two numeric variables in the records in your search results.

Note: This feature is only available if your data view has been configured to enable it.

The size of the bubbles is derived from range data in the records.

  • To select different properties for the plot axes, select from the X-Axis and Y-Axis lists. When all the data is positive, you may be able to choose a logarithmic or linear axis scale.
  • To change the property used to determine the bubble colors, select it in the Color Axis list.
  • To add a data label, right-click a point or bubble and choose Add data label, then drag the label to the position you want. To remove a label, click the cross on the label. To remove all labels from the plot, click Remove all labels.
  • Double-click a bubble to view the datasheet for that record.
  • Optional: Right-click for additional record actions:
    • Show datasheet - open the record datasheet.
    • Add to Favorites list - add the selected record to a personal Favorites List.
    • Compare records - compare the selected records.
    • Run report - generate an analysis report on the selected record.
    • Export material cards - export data from the selected records as material cards for use in CAD, CAE, or PLM applications.
    • Export data to Excel - export data from the selected record to a Microsoft Excel workbook.
    • Workflows... - switch to MI Data Flow Manager and view any active Granta MI workflow tasks relating to the selected records.
    The availability of some of these options will depend on your data view configuration and whether you have sufficient user privileges.
