Usage

edit

This template is used to produce a Dot graph/Dot plot/Scatter plot.

There are two ways of using this template (Usage A is for scatter plots whereas Usage B is for Dot graphs/Dot plots):

  • Usage A (|x...|y...): It takes a x input (0-100) then a y input (0-100) and so on {{Dot graph|x|y|x|y|x|y|x|y|...}}
  • Usage B (|dots=|y...): It takes dots = number of dots per columns {{Dot graph|dots=#|y|y|y|y|y|...}}
  • Example: {{Dot graph|0|10|0|90|33|20|33|80|66|40|66|60}} ≈ {{Dot graph|cols=3|rows=2|10|90|20|80|40|60}}
  • Note: cols + rows should equal the number of values that follow
  • Note: Usage B almost always has more precision then Usage A
  • Note: x inputs are from 0-100 and y inputs are from 0-100

This template also takes a variety of other parameters:

  • |color-#= The template can take a color input for each do that is color-dot number (The default color is red) (overrides color-even and color-odd)
  • |legend-color= This template can take a legend input to add to the legend.
  • |x labels= The labels to show along the x axis separated by commas (,) (label1,label2,label3)
  • |align= The alignment of the chart (default right)
  • |color= The background color (default none/transparent)
  • |border= Whether of not to show the border (default yes)
  • |yx= Take y then x instead of x then y (default no)
  • |color-even= Sets every other dot to a specific color (default red)
  • |color-odd= Sets every odd dot to a specific color (default red)
  • |square= Makes the chart/plot a square (default no)
  • |width= The width of the chart
  • |picture= The picture for the background of the chart, excluding File: or Image: (default Blank.png)
  • |size= The size of the dots (default 8px)
  • |bottom= Text tho show on the bottom of the template
  • |top= The header to show on top of the graph
