Multiple dotplots in a single graphing window

[dharvey@dalton.org]

Good morning,

Is there any way to graph multiple dotplots in a single graphing window? (What I am referring to was achieved in Fathom by dropping an attribute on the + symbol in the bottom left of the graphing window along the x-axis.)

Thank you,
David

Hi David,

No, sorry, we haven’t provided that capability in CODAP. However, in many situations, the desired plot can be created through a transformation of the data. The screenshot I’ve attached shows the basic idea. The values of the two attributes in the dataset at left are what you want to plot on the same graph. Using the Pivot Longer transform from the builtin plugin Transformers, you create two new attributes, one for year and another for the values. Now you can make the graph!

Hope this helps,

Bill
