Our implementations of core visualizations are a testbed to learn about how these tools are used with database tools.
We provide core visualizations, familiar to users of Excel and other popular charting tools:
- A bar chart and column chart. These differ only in the orientation of the bars.
- A line chart and an area chart; both offer stacked or overlapping areas. An area chart is filled; a line chart only draws the top line.
- A pie chart
- A scatter chart, or scatter plot.
Click [Series Data...] to select the series: Sales and Profit.
Click [Label Data...] be used to select the labels: the Year column.
This image shows a column chart for the sample data above.
For the area chart and line chart, the visualization will attempt to interpret the ‘labels’ column as ascending, numeric X axis values. If that works, then it will render them appropriately spaced; the spacing need not be regular. If any of the values are not numeric, or not ascending, then each label will instead be placed as evenly-spaced categories.
Charts behave inconsistently with negative Y-axis values.
Note that in the current version of the charts, the X and Y axes are automaitcal
