# Scatter

A scatter plot is a graphical representation of data using Cartesian coordinates to display values.

#### Configuration Options

| Option        | Description                                                                                                                                                                                         |
| ------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Select Series | The column from the input table to be represented in the scatter plot                                                                                                                               |
| Size          | This is found in the `Advanced Options` portion of the tool but is only displayed for Scatter plots. This dictates which column from the input table will be responsible for sizing the data points |
| Trendline     | This is found in the `Advanced Options` portion of the tool but is only displayed for Scatter plots. This is a boolean toggle determining if a trendline will be shown amongst the data points      |

### Scatter Plot Example

Note: The color and size of the data points have been set to the `SUM(SO)` column of the data set. In this case, that is short for the sum of the number of strikeouts, per year.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.cascade.io/cascade/tools/visualize/chart/scatter.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
