Parallel coordinates plot

Parallel coordinates is a common way of visualizing high-dimensional geometry and analyzing multivariate data. To show a set of points in an n-dimensional space, a backdrop is drawn consisting of n parallel lines, typically vertical and equally spaced. A point in n-dimensional space is represented as a polyline with vertices on the parallel axes; the position of the vertex on the i-th axis corresponds to the i-th coordinate of the point. This visualization is closely related to time series visualization, except that it is applied to data where the axes do not correspond to points in time, and therefore do not have a natural order. Therefore, different axis arrangements may be of interest.

To change columns, set "Column Names" via the context panel. To rearrange columns, drag column name into the desired location.

Developers: To add the viewer from the console, use: grok.shell.tv.addViewer('PC plot');

Properties

Property	Type	Description
Data
Show Filtered Out Lines	boolean	Whether the filtered out values are shown. See also Filtered Out Line Color
Transformation	string
Filter	string	Formula that filters out rows to show. Examples: ${AGE} > 20 or ${WEIGHT / 2)} > 100, ${SEVERITY} == ''Medium'', ${RACE}.endsWith(''sian'')
Table	string
Value
Column Names	list	Columns to use
Log Columns Column Names	list	Columns where logarithmic axis is used. Should be a subset of Column Names.
Normalize Each Column	boolean	Determines the way a value is mapped to the vertical scale. TRUE: bottom is column minimum, top is column maximum. Use when columns contain values in different units FALSE: uses the same scale. This lets you compare values across columns if units are the same (for instance, use it for tracking change over time).''
