Slight correlation in the lower numbers, the games with the highest amount of Link between number of players and number of recommendations. The biggest surprise, however, was the lack of a You can see that there is a trend between MetaCritic score and the number of Trends based off of the characteristics of games and the number of players who Ideally the data will be used to see if there are any clear The number of people who have played the game, the original and final price of a Itĭescribes the category of a game, it describes the number of people who own it, The data used for this scatterplot is a from Steam, a computer game vendor. This could allow for a 'braille' form of scatterplots for the visually Or perhaps on an entirely different value, such as the size of theĭot. Strength of the feedback could be dependent on the x or This would allow visually deficient individuals to be able to enjoy a TheyĬould have a touchscreen and then they could scan the chart and see where pointsĪre. It could be interesting to have haptic feedback for blind individuals. Hovering over dots could provide more information

Plots can be split up into sections to represent features You can have a matrix of scatterplots to have various many plots at once Number of dimensions (some plots can have 1 axis, some can have up to 3) Haptic feedback can be used for a sense of feeling Tick size (can be small or could go across the entirety of the plot) To see, since, as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.

May not have been able to discern from a table. Or not, allows us as humans to quickly discern features of the data set that we Perhaps our hypothesis was entirely wrong. We could see if they clump together based off of species, or Or, we could color dots by a feature, say 'species'Īnd see if there is a correlation between species and the chosen 'x' and 'y'Ĭoordinates. Plot data to see if there is a relation between our chosen 'x' and 'y' values,Įither direct or inverse. We use scatterplots to quickly see trends in the data. That determines size, in an attempt to increase the aesthetic appeal of our Iterate on the scatter plot, making changes to color selection, or the algorithm (say circle represents cats and squares represent dogs). We couldĬhange the type of icon we're using so that each represents a different thing Values to our liking, we can add more features such as color or size. If we are feeling fancy, we can also add a 'z' The basic way to create a scatterplot is to decide on an 'x' and 'y' value that Such as color, shape, sound, or being overlaid onto a map or other kind of Scatterplots can be made more advances by adding dimensions to each point, Related to itself, and see quickly if there are any kinds of trends within theĭata. The scatter plot will provide a quick way to gain an idea of how the data is Records in a data set, and they'll be organized by features of each data point.
