Dotplot
« on: October 31, 2018, 08:30:24 am »
Hi there!

Trying to plot a dotplot chart as ChartLineSeries (only points w/o lines) and for good picture I need to know dimensions of workspace of chart (see attached). Then I adjust Range of each axis by formula that contains number of dots, their size, and needed space between them. The question is how to find width & height of TChart workspace?

OR is there a more simple way to realize dotplot diagram?

How do you define a "dot plot"? Is it the same as a "Manhattan plot" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhattan_plot)? This one is already implemented in TAChart, there is a demo in folder components/tachart/demo/manhattan of your Lazarus installation.

Congrats with 5000 post!  :)
Not exactly the same with "Manhattan plot", it more close to histogram: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dot_plot_(statistics)

So y is the count of the values having the same x?

In the attachment I show you how a standard bar series can be modified to draw itself as a stack of circles.
