Overview
This section provides an overview of a Scatter Chart. The Scatter Chart is a type of data visualization that uses Cartesian coordinates to display values for two variables. Each data point represents an individual observation, plotted as a dot in the chart. Scatter Charts are ideal for identifying patterns, trends, and relationships between two numerical variables.
