C.4.3.11. Dot Plot Properties

The Dot Plot is currently only available in the Single Map (Flash Edition)

Template. However, it is not visible by default – you must insert it using

the ‘Insert’ menu (see section ‘C.3.1.4. Insert’).

The Dot Plot shows the spread of the indicator data around the mean or

median. Each dot represents the indicator value of one map feature. The

dot representing the minimum indicator value is always displayed to the

very left of the chart. The dot for the maximum indicator value is displayed

to the very right of the chart. The dots are superimposed over a grey

shaded box with whiskers (Figure 86). The meaning of the vertical box

borders and the length of the whiskers depends on the ‘Chart Type’

settings you choose in the config.xml file.

Chart Type ‘distribution’

The default ‘Chart Type’ setting is ‘distribution’. Using this option, the

vertical box borders and whiskers mean the following:

Left whisker: -1 standard deviation

Left border of the box: -0.5 standard deviation

Vertical line in the box: The mean of the indicator values

Right border of the box: +0.5 standard deviation

Right whisker: +1 standard deviation

The text for the tool tip which appears when hovering over the grey shaded

box is by default ‘min | -1sd | -0.5sd | mean | 0.5sd | 1sd | max’ but you can

change this using the property ‘Tip’ in the config.xml file.

Chart Type ‘interquartile’

When using the chart type ‘interquartile’, the grey shaded box represents

the interquartile range. The vertical box borders and whiskers mean the

following:

The HTML templates do not currently include the Dot Plot

component.

In the Population Pyramid (HTML Edition) template it is possible to

show data from up to 3 associate columns as lines in the chart. For

each you can define the ‘Value’ (which is the data source and should

contain the name of the associate column), the ‘Colour’ of the line

and the ‘Label’ which appears in the Pyramid Legend.

In the Population Pyramid (HTML Edition) template this setting is

called ‘Always show Comparison Data’.
