Scatter Plot

Points plotted on two continuous axes. Reveals correlations and distributions.

When to Use

  • Finding correlations between two variables
  • Spotting clusters and outliers
  • Encoding a third dimension via color or size

Basic Example

from d3_bridge import ScatterPlot

chart = ScatterPlot(
    data=Parcel.objects.values("area_ha", "yield_kg"),
    x="area_ha",
    y="yield_kg",
    title="Yield vs Area",
    x_label="Area (ha)",
    y_label="Yield (kg)",
)

Color by Category

chart = ScatterPlot(
    data=data,
    x="area", y="yield",
    color_by="region",
)

Size by Value (Bubble)

chart = ScatterPlot(
    data=data,
    x="longitude", y="latitude",
    size="population",  # field name → proportional radius
)

Linear Regression Line

chart = ScatterPlot(
    data=data,
    x="study_hours", y="score",
    regression="linear",
)

Zoomable

chart = ScatterPlot(data=data, x="x", y="y", zoom=True)
