Template:Dot chart
 | This template uses Lua: |
Usage
[change source]This template is used to produce a Dot graph/Dot plot/Scatter plot.
There are two ways of using this template (Usage A is for scatter plots whereas Usage B is for Dot graphs/Dot plots):
- Usage A (
|x...|y...): It takes a x input (0-100) then a y input (0-100) and so on{{Dot graph|x|y|x|y|x|y|x|y|...}} - Usage B (
|dots=|y...): It takes dots = number of dots per columns{{Dot graph|dots=#|y|y|y|y|y|...}}
- Example:
{{Dot graph|0|10|0|90|33|20|33|80|66|40|66|60}}≈{{Dot graph|cols=3|rows=2|10|90|20|80|40|60}} - Note: cols + rows should equal the number of values that follow
- Note: Usage B almost always has more precision then Usage A
- Note: x inputs are from 0-100 and y inputs are from 0-100
- Example:
This template also takes a variety of other parameters:
|color-#=The template can take a color input for each do that is color-dot number (The default color is red) (overrides color-even and color-odd)|legend-color=This template can take a legend input to add to the legend.|x labels=The labels to show along the x axis separated by commas (,) (label1,label2,label3)|align=The alignment of the chart (default right)|color=The background color (default none/transparent)|border=Whether of not to show the border (default yes)|yx=Take y then x instead of x then y (default no)|color-even=Sets every other dot to a specific color (default red)|color-odd=Sets every odd dot to a specific color (default red)|square=Makes the chart/plot a square (default no)|width=The width of the chart|picture=The picture for the background of the chart, excluding File: or Image: (default Blank.png)|size=The size of the dots (default 8px)|bottom=Text tho show on the bottom of the template|top=The header to show on top of the graph
