The Dot Plot is an effective alternative to the Bar Graph data visualization in cases where the data contains groupings with similar values. Dot Plots do not use a zero baseline and are less cluttered than Bar Graphs, making them easier to interpret in many cases.

Dot Plots are one of the simplest statistical data visualizations you can use and are good choices for small to moderately sized data sets. They are particularly useful for highlighting clusters and gaps, as well as outliers. The other major advantage of Dot Plots over Bar Graph or other visualizations is the conservation of numerical information.

Dot Plots are available in all of our products, including Panopticon EX and the Developer SDK.

This tutorial uses Panopticon EX to explain the Dot Plot but the same principles apply to our Developer SDK.
