Data Fields

The visual has 9 data fields for different capabilities. For basic functionalities only the first two are needed

X-Axis

The data field added here is used as a shared X-Axis for all plots. The datatype must be numeric or date. Null values are not supported.

Plot Values

Data fields that contain y-Values. For each data field a separate plot is created. The data type must be numeric. Null values will be ignored. Maximum data fields: 20.

Plot Overlay Length

Length data for creating overlay rectangles or lines for individual plots. Values must be numeric and specify the length of the rectangle in data points of the X-Axis. For example when the value 11 is specified at data position 8, an overlay rectangle is created from the position of the 8-th x-value until the position of the 19-th x-value. Null values are ignored

Plot Overlay Width

Specifies the size of an overlay rectangle in y-direction. At each position where a numeric value was provided for Plot Overlay Length the size in y-direction must be provided. All other values should be null.

Tooltips

Contains data that is displayed in a custom tooltip when hovering over a data point. The order of the tooltips matches the order of the data fields. Supported data types: numeric, date, text.

Color Legend

Text data that is used for creating a color mapping for data points. Each unique text value is mapped to a color and added to the color legend in the bottom of the visual. For plots that use this legend the data points are colored based on the corresponding text value specified here. Null values and empty strings are ignored.

Filter Legends

This column supports numeric or text data that is used to filter all plots using the color legend. For each unique value in the column a legend is appended to the bottom of the visual that can be clicked on to hide all points with the corresponding value. If the data is numeric and contains only 0 and 1 the data is treated as boolean and data points with 1 can be hidden by clicking on the legend. Null values and empty strings are ignored.

Visual overlay

This data column is used to draw a background over all plots in different colors. The unique values are mapped to a color and added to the legend at the bottom of the visual. The background is then drawn from the corresponding data point on the X-Axis to the next point.

Groupings

This column can be used to add Categories for grouping the rest of the data. The provided data is not used for any other purpose by the visual.

Format Pane

Axis Settings

This settings card consists of a group for each data column in the Plot Values data field. For X-axis and Y-axis one of the following settings can be chosen:

  • None (no ticks and no labels)
  • Labels only
  • Ticks only
  • Ticks and labels

Axis Label Settings

The labels for X-axis and Y-axis can be changed for each plot. The default is the data column name of the corresponding axis.

Color Settings

All colors that affect the whole visual can be set here.

Vertical Ruler Color

Sets the color of the line that is displayed on each plot for better orientation when hovering over a data point.

Plot Overlay Color

Color of the rectangles or lines that are drawn over the plots and explained in Plot Overlay Length.

Horizontal Zero Line Color

Sets the color of the line that is drawn when y value 0 is not at the position of the y-axis for one plot

Axis Break Line Color

Sets the color of the dashed line that is drawn between two data points when they are further apart then specified in X-Axis Break Settings and X-axis break is enabled

Heatmap Color Scheme

Sets the color scheme for the heatmap.

General Settings

Settings that affect the whole visual

Number of Heatmap Bins

Sets the resolution of the heatmap. When set to 10 for example the domain of the X-axis is divided into 10 equal pieces that are used for binning.

Minimum plot height

Sets the minimum height per plot in pixels. A scrollbar is added when this height cannot be fulfilled.

Tooltip Precision

Sets the precision for numeric tooltip values.

Show 0-Line for Y-Axis

Displays a horizontal line at position 0 when set to true. Color can be adjusted in color settings.

Legend Settings

For each data column in Color Legend and Filter Legend the name can be set that is displayed in the legend at the bottom of the visual.
