Scatter

Overview

The scatter widget plots each data point using two numeric variables (X-axis, Y-axis) as coordinates. Use it to visually identify correlations between two variables, data distribution patterns, and outliers. For example, it is suitable for analyzing the relationship between response time and request size, or the correlation between port frequency and threat score.

For general information about query widgets, see Query widget.
