Is it Possible to Create a Scatter Plot with Pairs of Points Connected in GraphBuilder?

sornasst

Hi,

 

I would like to create a large number (~100) of partially connected scatter plots similar to the mock example below:

Mock Connected Scatter Plot

Each connecting line connects the Baseline (BL) point to the Week 24 (W24) point for a patient.

 

The data would be in the folling format

Let me know if you have any ideas: I certainly don't want to draw each connecting line by hand like I did on the mock satter plot above.

Thank you for your help.

Here is an attempt at what you want.  It is pretty close to what you are requesting. I added a column to your data table which is being used as a Page separator, which I am imagining will be your 1-100 graphs.  Here is the output, followed by the script that generates the sample data table and the graphic output:

Names Default to here(1);
dt = New Table( "Sample",
	Add Rows( 24 ),
	New Column( "Patient_ID",
		Character,
		"Nominal",
		Set Values(
			{"PAT1", "PAT2", "PAT3", "PAT4", "PAT5", "PAT6", "PAT1", "PAT2", "PAT3",
			"PAT4", "PAT5", "PAT6", "PAT1", "PAT2", "PAT3", "PAT4", "PAT5", "PAT6",
			"PAT1", "PAT2", "PAT3", "PAT4", "PAT5", "PAT6"}
		)
	),
	New Column( "Time_point",
		Character,
		"Nominal",
		Set Selected,
		Set Values(
			{"BL", "BL", "BL", "BL", "BL", "BL", "W24", "W24", "W24", "W24", "W24",
			"W24", "BL", "BL", "BL", "BL", "BL", "BL", "W24", "W24", "W24", "W24",
			"W24", "W24"}
		)
	),
	New Column( "Variable_A",
		Numeric,
		"Continuous",
		Format( "Best", 12 ),
		Set Values(
			[19, 36, 24, 25, 19, 32, 15, 25, 12, 21, 14, 42, 19, 36, 24, 25, 19, 32,
			15, 25, 12, 21, 14, 42]
		)
	),
	New Column( "Variable B",
		Numeric,
		"Continuous",
		Format( "Best", 12 ),
		Set Values(
			[-1.3287, -1.9208, -1.436, -1.577, -0.1477, -1.849, -0.65601, -0.64708,
			-0.17958, -1.06807, 0.06291, -1.328, -1.3287, -1.9208, -1.436, -1.577,
			-0.1477, -1.849, -0.65601, -0.64708, -0.17958, -1.06807, 0.06291, -1.328
			]
		)
	),
	New Column( "Page_Var",
		Character,
		"Nominal",
		Set Values(
			{"Page1", "Page1", "Page1", "Page1", "Page1", "Page1", "Page1", "Page1",
			"Page1", "Page1", "Page1", "Page1", "Page2", "Page2", "Page2", "Page2",
			"Page2", "Page2", "Page2", "Page2", "Page2", "Page2", "Page2", "Page2"}
		)
	)
);
