It is a feature which enables the creation of a report containing a Trends, a histogram and scatter plots. The variable defined in Var. is the main variable and is compared to those defined in Comp. The time variable is defined in Time. If required, a conditional variable for the histogram and scatter plots, can be defined in Cond.    

Create a Multiplot

To launch the Multiplot editor, select Visualize > Multiplot from the menu. Alternatively, click the icon (Image Modified) in the sidebar and then add New.

The parameters for a Multiplot are defined on two tabs at the top of the page: Properties and Advanced.

On the Properties tab: 

1. Enter a Title. 

2. Select an Record set from the list, if required

3. Select from the Variable list to set variables for the main Variable (Var.) , for the variables to be compared with, in Comp., for Time variable (selected automatically) and one for condition (Cond.), if required.

4. Click Save to visualize the standard report. 

On the Advanced tab:

Trends: one curve is displayed for the variable presented in Var. 

1. Enter a Title, if required. 

2. Check Fill curves, if required. 

3. Select Temporal unit, options: None,Excel time, Mac excel time, Unix time (ms), Unix time (s). All files uploaded since DATAmaestro 4.0 will have dates converted to Unix time (ms).

Histogram: one histogram is displayed for the variable presented in Var. using a condition, in Cond., if required . 

1. Enter Title, if required. 

2. Enter Cond. class count, if required, use the arrow buttons, default 3. For more information, see Condition class count. 

3. Select Plot type, options: Histogram, Pareto and Cumulative Plot. For more information, see Histogram. 

4. Check Use relative frequencies. For more information, see Histogram. 

Scatter plots: different scatter plots are displayed each one with the variable Var. in axis X and the compared variable in axis Y, using a condition, in Cond., is required. 

1. Enter Title, if required. 

2. Enter Class Count, if required, use the arrow buttons, default 3. 

3. Select a Plot type from the drop down list (Values versus Density plot). For more information, see Scatter Plot. 

4. Enter a Generalization level. For more information, see Generalization level. 

5. Select the X Temporal units to display a numerical date value as a date on the X axis select the relevant date format, if required.
