Scatter Plot Properties – Line Connection


Option

Description

Draw a separate line per value in

Specifies the column or hierarchy containing the categories to use for line connection. Markers of the same category will be connected with each other to form a separate line. If no column or hierarchy is specified here, all markers will be connected with each other.

Order each line by

Specifies the order in which markers are connected. If no column or hierarchy is specified here, the markers will be ordered by row index (the order of the rows in the original data table).

Color

Specifies how colors will be assigned to the lines.

   Same as marker

Choose this option if you want the lines to have the same color as the markers they are a connection between. If a line connects markers with different colors, the color of the line will be a fusion of the two colors. For example, when a blue marker is connected with a yellow marker the line between them will be green.

   Custom

Choose this option if you want to use a single custom color for the lines. Click the drop-down list to show the color selector where you can choose a different color.

Width

Specifies the width of the lines.

Place in

Select whether the lines should be placed in the foreground or background of the markers they are connecting.

Show arrows to indicate order

Specifies whether or not there should be arrows along the lines to indicate the order.
