View Scatter Plot

Visualize the correlation and interdependency between two properties data. The independent property data is plotted on X-axis while the dependent property data is plotted in Y-axis.

Using Scatter Plot we can understand the correlation between the material properties. The relationship between the properties is positivie when the dots rise upwards, when the dots slope downward then it is negative, or when the dots are plotted everywhere then it is null.
