Description |

Combination Visualizations (Legacy) |
Combination Graphs allow combining multiple variables as layers in a series graph sharing a common x-axis. Unlike other visualizations, the Text, Numeric and Time Combination Graphs allow combination of many variables, based on different columns of a data table, each rendered independently, using a selected visualization. |
|
Snapshot Visualizations |
Some of the most common use cases for data visualization software require the system to display information about a data set as it exists at a particular point in time. These snapshot visualizations are extremely useful for understanding relative quantitative and qualitative measures and enable users to gain a comprehensive understanding of complex data sets very quickly. You must populate visualizations with data columns for them to function. |
|
Time series Visualizations |
The ability to handle very large quantities of multivariate time series data is an essential element in a complete visual analysis system. Altair Panopticon offers a range of specialized data visualizations, including Horizon Graphs, Stack Graphs, and Line Graphs, designed specifically to make analyzing historical data easier and more efficient. The software's ability to connect to traditional row-oriented relational databases or column-oriented databases is key to supporting fast, responsive multi-dimensional analysis of large data sets. Our time series capabilities are especially important for users in global investment banks, hedge funds, proprietary trading firms, and exchanges. |
|
IMPORTANT |
The new Axis Graphs (X-Axis Graph and Y-Axis Graph) are different from the legacy visualizations in many aspects. See Axis Graphs for more information. |
|
NOTE |
When adding a visualization part, the shelves are turned off by default. To display the shelves, right-click on the visualization and select Show Shelves on the context menu. The corresponding shelves of the visualization are displayed (e.g., Columns, Rows, Breakdown). |

Description |
|
Link legends to visualizations using drag and drop commands. Four types of legend are supported:Series, Color, Icon, and Shape. |

Filter data in order to highlight outliers, patterns and trends. Filters must be populated with data columns for them to function. |
|
|
Allow actions to be executed against pre-defined selections and can be used to provide inputs to filtered data sets. |
