Distribution

This is the N4V FOR WEBI Wiki page for the Distribution widget.

Since Need4Viz 2024.3.0

• Statistical chart made of 1 or 2 combined chart : a first one for a scatter chart (every single points in entry), the second for the distribution of the points (on a histogram, a Gaussian curve or a custom categories chart).
• 1 dimension and 1 indicator is needed. The measure must not be an aggregated measure.
• Histogram chart : count for each bin (column with a periodic range) the number of input values in this range
• Gauss curve : generate a bell curve (reduced normal distribution) with the input values
• Custom categories : define your own categories to distribute each input values inside these categories
• Boxplot : display for each category value, a boxplot and the relative scatter chart

• Dimensions 1 : reference of the value (category)

• Measure : discrete or continuous numeric value. Must not be an aggregated measure (if necessary, enable the “Avoid duplicate row aggregation” in the Global/General Webi settings of the chart)

• move the mouse over the graph to bring up the tooltip.

Webi native element link function cannot be used on this chart.

For the distribution chart, the available parameters are :

Global

• Palette et Style
  • General: You can use the palette tool to define the colors used to build the graph.

Extended Parameters

• Global → See the user guide for the “Global” section here

• Menu → See the user guide for the “Menu” section here

• X_Axis & Y_Axis → See the user guide for the “Axes” section here
  • X_Axis1 & Y_Axis1 : Settings for the scatter chart axes
  • X_Axis2 & Y_Axis2 : Settings for the distribution chart axes

• Options
  • Chart : These settings allow you to choose wich chart(s) you want to display, the kind of distribution wanted and the orientation of the chart.
  • Colors : This setting allows you to set a gradient effect on the charts.
  • Columns border : This setting allows you to make rounded corners for the columns (all corners or only top corners).
  • Shadow : This setting allows you to draw a colored shadow around the columns.

• Tooltip → See the user guide for the “Tooltip” section here

• Legend → See the user guide for the “Legend” section here

• Measures
  • Measure input : These settings allow you to specify the name of the measure in the labels (replaces the Webi object name, %SECTION% N4V variable can be used in the label), the unit to add as a measurement prefix or suffix as well as the maximum number of decimal places for the input measure value.
  • Calculated value : These settings allow you to specify the unit to add as a measurement prefix or suffix as well as the maximum number of decimal places for the calculated values (number of points in the ranges…).

• Scatter
  • Tooltip : This setting allows you to specify the header label of the scatter chart tooltip.
  • Markers : This setting allows you to define the radius of the markers for the scatter chart.

• Distribution
  • Values : This setting allows you to specify the font of the labels for the distribution chart (Histogram, Gauss or Custom categories).

• Histogram
  • Bins : These settings allow you to specify the bins for an histogram distribution chart. You can specify the bin width or the number of bins to use. If number of bins value is set, bin width specified is ignored. If no values are set, bin width is automatically calculated. You can also specify the “bin divisible by” value and the starting and/or the ending bins value. By default, these values are automatically calculated by the system.
  • Options : These settings allow you to display or not the labels on the histogram chart. You can also choose to display the mean and the standard deviation bands on the chart.

• Gauss
  • Options : These settings allow you to specify the number of intervals and the number of points to include in each interval on a Gauss curve chart. You can also choose to display the mean and the standard deviation bands on the chart.

• Categories
  • Options : These settings allow you to display or not the labels on the custom categories chart. You can set to use or not the colors define for each categories. You can set the size of the icon if you use it for each categories. You can also hide the range values in the tooltip.
  • Category for NULL values : You can set a specific category (or not) for null input values. You can also set for this specific category, a color, a label and an icon (placed on the X-Axis instead of the label). The icon can be a URL (use a standard url syntax → http://public.or.private.dns/picture.png) or an image stored in the Need4Viz WebApplication folder (Ex. tomcat\N4VCustomElements\res\images) of the server. By default, smiley-mute.svg, smiley-sade.svg, smiley-soso.svg and smiley-happy.svg are provided with Need4Viz, you can use them for instance.
  • Category 1,.. 10 : For each category, you can set the min value (max value will correspond to the min value of the next category or infinite for the last used category). You can also set for this category, a color, a label and an icon (placed on the X-Axis instead of the label). The icon can be a URL (for instance http://my.pictures.com/pict1.png) or an image stored in the Need4Viz WebApplication (Ex. tomcat\N4VCustomElements\res\images) of the server. By default, smiley-mute.svg, smiley-sade.svg, smiley-soso.svg and smiley-happy.svg are provided with Need4Viz, you can use them for instance.

• Boxplot
  • Global mean : Add and set a line for global mean crossing all the boxplots
  • Tooltip : Change the labels of the tooltip
  • Box style : Set the style of the box lines
  • Median style : Set the style of the median lines
  • Min/Max style : Set the style of the min/max lines
  • Link style : Set the style of the links between boxes and min/max lines
