Viewing Charts

In this section, you will get to know how to view charts namely line chart, bar chart, scatter chart, and line3D chart.

Line chart​

Use a Line chart to visualize trends over time.

Pre-requisities

  • Your .csv is uploaded and mapped.

  • You know which column is a timestamp and which is a numeric measure.

To view a line chart, do the following:

  1. Open your Workspace that contains the mapped .csv.

  2. Select the Insights tab, and then select the Statistics tab.

  3. To view chart, do the following:

    1. In Chart Type drop-down list, select the Line option.
    2. In X-Axis drop-down list, select your timestamp column (e.g., CaptureTime or PublishTime).
    3. In X-Axis Type drop-down list, select the Time option.
    4. In Y-Axis drop-down list, select a numeric column (e.g., FillBarrels or CapacityBarrels).

    A time-series line chart is displayed.

Bar chart​

Use a Bar chart to compare categories (for example, by country or region).

Pre-requisities

  • Your .csv is uploaded and mapped.

  • You have a categorical column for X (e.g., CountryName, RegionName) and a numeric column for Y (e.g., FillBarrels).

To view a bar chart, do the following:

  1. Open your Workspace that contains the mapped .csv.

  2. Select the Insights tab, and then select the Statistics tab.

  3. In Chart Type drop-down list, select the Bar option.

  4. In X-Axis drop-down list, select a categorical column (e.g., CountryName).

  5. In X-Axis Type drop-down list, select the Category option.

  6. In Y-Axis drop-down list, select a numeric column (e.g., FillBarrels).

A bar chart is displayed.

Scatter chart​

Use a Scatter chart to examine the relationship between two numeric columns.

Pre-requisities

  • Your .csv is uploaded and mapped.

  • You have numeric columns for both axes (e.g., CapacityBarrels and FillBarrels).

To view a bar chart, do the following:

  1. Open your Workspace that contains the mapped .csv.

  2. Select the Insights tab, and then select the Statistics tab.

  3. In Chart Type drop-down list, select the Scatter option.

  4. In X-Axis drop-down list, select a numeric column (e.g., CapacityBarrels).

  5. In X-Axis Type drop-down list, select the Value option.

    • Use Log if values span several orders of magnitude.

  6. In Y-Axis, select a numeric column (e.g., FillBarrels).

A scatter plot is displayed.

Line3D chart​

Use Line3D for a 3D perspective on a line series—helpful when the 2D line is dense or hard to read.

  1. Open your Workspace that contains the mapped .csv.

  2. Select the Insights tab, and then select the Statistics tab.

  3. In Chart Type drop-down list, choose Line3D.

  4. In X-Axis drop-down list, pick an available time column (e.g., PublishTime, FirstReportTime, or any timestamp you see).

note

If you don’t have any time column mapped: pick a categorical column (e.g., CountryName or RegionName) or a numeric column (e.g., CapacityBarrels).

  1. In X-Axis Type drop-down list, do one of the following:

    • Select Time if you picked a timestamp in step 4.

    • Select Category for names/labels

    • Select Value (or Log) for numeric X.

  2. In Y-Axis drop-down list, select a numeric column (e.g., FillBarrels).

  3. In Z Axis drop-down list, choose a dimension that adds depth:

    • Prefer a numeric column (e.g., CapacityBarrels) to show variation along Z,

      or

    • If you do have a second time-like field, you can use that instead to layer by time.

A Line3D chart is displayed.
