Introduction to Graph visualizations

You can quickly explore your data in a polished graphical display with a graph visualization. The graph visualization is a powerful, interactive visualization that allows you to display your data using a variety of graph styles, then customize it to suit your needs. You can choose from a variety of graph styles to use to display the data.

• How to Create Area, Bar, or Line Graphs
• How to Create a Bubble or Scatter Graph
• How to Create a Graph That Displays Graph Markers in a Grid Layout
• How to Create a Graph with Pies or Rings
• How to Create a Combination Graph
• How to Create a Dual-Axis Graph

You can perform the following tasks using a graph visualization:

• Organize graph data based on a specific attribute.

  A bar graph contains unit sales data for several regions. You can choose to display a different bar for each individual store within each region.

• Color graph elements (that is, bubbles, lines, or bar risers) by an attribute or a metric. You can choose to display a different color for each element in an attribute. You can also choose to have graph elements automatically colored based on the value of a metric, with the darkest colors being displayed for the largest metric values.
• Automatically size graph elements based on the value of a metric, with the largest elements appearing for the largest metric values.

• Slice your data, by displaying a graph for each combination of attribute elements in the rows and columns of the graph visualization.

  You can display the revenue data for each Region as a separate line graph, or display a bar graph containing store sales for each year.
