What is a Scatter Plot?

A scatter plot maps two variables as points on a grid, making it easy to spot correlations, clusters, outliers, and trends in your data that tables simply can't reveal.

Common uses include correlation analysis, regression visualisation, financial return comparisons, scientific measurements, and quality-control charting.

Correlations

See positive, negative, or no relationship between variables at a glance.

Outlier Detection

Spots anomalous data points instantly, no statistical tests required.

Multi-Series

Plot multiple data groups on the same chart with distinct colours.
