Regular scatter plot In the scatter plot with missing categories on the left, the growth appears to be more linear with less variation. In financial reports, negative returns or data that do not correlate with a positive outlook may be excluded to create a more favorable visual impression.
A scatter plot, also called a scatterplot, scatter graph, scatter chart, scattergram, or scatter diagram, [2] is a type of plot or mathematical diagram using Cartesian coordinates to display values for typically two variables for a set of data. If the points are coded (color/shape/size), one additional variable can be displayed.
The bars can be plotted vertically or horizontally. A vertical bar chart is sometimes called a column chart and has been identified as the prototype of charts. [1] A bar graph shows comparisons among discrete categories. One axis of the chart shows the specific categories being compared, and the other axis represents a measured value.

For example, if the mean height in a population of 21-year-old men is 1.75 meters, and one randomly chosen man is 1.80 meters tall, then the "error" is 0.05 meters; if the randomly chosen man is 1.70 meters tall, then the "error" is −0.05 meters.
Scagnostics (scatterplot diagnostics) is a series of measures that characterize certain properties of a point cloud in a scatter plot. The term and idea was coined by John Tukey and Paul Tukey, though they didn't publish it; later it was elaborated by Wilkinson, Anand, and Grossman. The following nine dimensions are considered: [1] [2]
