Scatter Plot Properties – Y-axis

One Y-axis with a single scale

Option	Description
Columns	Specifies the column or hierarchy to be displayed on the Y-axis.
Settings...	Opens the Advanced Settings dialog where you can change the scale mode from categorical to continuous and vice versa, as well as changing the category mode to determine which combinations to show.
One axis with a single scale	Use this option if you want to show the values from a single column on the Y-axis or if you have multiple columns that can be presented using the same scale.
Multiple scales	Use this option to show two Y-axes (left and right) with two or more different scales. For example, use it if you want to display two columns of very different magnitudes in the same visualization.
Range
Min	Determines the lower value of the axis range. Leave the field blank to automatically adjust the range to the currently lowest value in the filtered data.
Max	Determines the upper value of the axis range. Leave the field blank to automatically adjust the range to the currently highest value in the filtered data.
Set to Current Range	Allows you to set the axis range to the currently filtered values.
Include origin	Available for continuous columns only. Always includes the coordinates (0, 0) in the visualization, regardless of filtering.
Show zoom slider	Shows a zoom slider that you can manually manipulate to view only the interesting segments of the scatter plot.
Show gridlines	Specifies whether or not horizontal gridlines should be visible.
Scale labels
Show labels	Specifies whether or not scale labels should be visible.
Horizontally	Shows scale labels horizontally.
Vertically	Shows scale labels vertically.
Max number of labels	Select the check box to specify a maximum number of scale labels to be shown. Limiting the number of labels can improve readability on axis scales with many values.
Scale
Log scale	Changes the scale from a linear scale to a logarithmic base 10 scale [log10 (x)].
Reverse scale	Reverses the current sort order so that the lowest value is displayed at the top of the scale.

Multiple scales

Option	Description
Columns	Specifies the column or hierarchy to be displayed on the Y-axis.
Settings...	Opens the Advanced Settings dialog where you can change the scale mode from categorical to continuous and vice versa, as well as changing the category mode to determine which combinations to show.
One axis with a single scale	Use this option if you want to show the values from a single column on the Y-axis or if you have multiple columns that can be presented using the same scale.
Multiple scales	Use this option to show two Y-axes (left and right) with two or more different scales. For example, use it if you want to display two columns with values of very different magnitudes in the same visualization.
Individual scaling
For each color	Use this option to display one scale for each category used to color the markers by. For example, if you put two different columns on the Y-axis (for example, Oil Production and BNP), you can use the "(Column Names)" option to color by and click this radio button to display one scale for Oil Production and one for BNP. Do not use this option if you need to color by a large number of different categories. Note that you should apply true categorical coloring before using this option. If you use a continuous column on the color axis, you may end up with a different result than the expected. This applies even if the continuous color mode looks "categorical" at first sight.
For each trellis panel	Use this option to display one scale for each trellis panel.
Zoom
Show zoom slider	Shows a zoom slider that you can manually manipulate to view only the interesting segments of the scatter plot.
Show gridlines	Specifies whether or not horizontal gridlines should be visible.
Scale labels
Show labels	Specifies whether or not scale labels should be visible. The scale labels are always displayed horizontally when multiple scales are shown.
Horizontally	Shows scale labels horizontally. Note: Only available for individual scaling for each trellis panel.
Vertically	Shows scale labels vertically. Note: Only available for individual scaling for each trellis panel.
Max number of labels	Select the check box to specify a maximum number of scale labels to be shown. Limiting the number of labels can improve readability on axis scales with many values.
Individual scale settings
[Drop-down list]	Select the scale for which you wish to change the settings. Select All scales to change settings for all scales simultaneously.
Scale Range...	Opens the Scale Range dialog where you can specify the range of the selected scale, and also determine whether or not to include the origin (0, 0).
Position	Specifies which side of the visualization the scales should be positioned.
Left Y-axis	Select this option to place the selected scale on the left-hand side of the visualization.
Right Y-axis	Select this option to place the selected scale on the right-hand side of the visualization.
Log scale	Changes the scale from a linear scale to a logarithmic base 10 scale [log10 (x)].
Reverse scale	Reverses the current sort order, so that the lowest value is displayed at the top of the scale.
