Counts Plot

Analysts need to see how values distribute across categories — not just averages, but where data clusters and outliers sit. Counts Plot places dots along a value axis within category lanes, scaling each dot proportionally to the number of observations at that position.

The visual bins nearby values so overlapping points merge into scaled dots. Bin width is adjustable or auto. A Count field supports pre-aggregated datasets, and currency, percentage, and conditional colour formatting are built in.

Key Capabilities

Scaled Dot Distribution — Dots sized proportionally to data frequency with automatic or manual binning.

Category Swim Lanes — Side-by-side distribution comparison across groups on a shared value axis

Flexible Data Input — Auto-count from row-level data or use a Count field for pre-aggregated datasets

Format & Conditional Colour — Automatic currency and percentage detection with numeric rules or field-value colour mapping

Reference Bands — Unlimited shaded bands with colour, opacity, and label formatting

Small Multiples & Interactivity — Trellis grid with axis coupling, cross-filtering, drill-down, drill-through, tooltips, and context menus

Coming Soon

Upcoming releases will introduce dynamic data-bound reference bands, data labels with count display and dot outline styling.
