With gaph builder I would like to create a parallel plot with NIR data. I have tried but I get a very messy graph as shown in attached file, how can I make this plot like the one in the functional data explorer?
Hi @frankderuyck,
You will need your data in a stacked format to realize a similar plot with Graph Builder.
Here are the steps to have the graph you want :
Script for this operation :
// Stack data table // → Data Table( "Stacked_table_NIR" ) Data Table( "PARALLEL PLOT NIR" ) << Stack( columns( :"5643"n, :"5650"n, :"5656"n, :"5663"n, :"5669"n, :"5675"n, :"5682"n, :"5688"n, :"5695"n, :"5701"n, :"5708"n, :"5714"n, :"5721"n, :"5727"n, :"5734"n, :"5741"n, :"5747"n, :"5754"n, :"5760"n, :"5767"n, :"5774"n, :"5780"n, :"5787"n, :"5794"n, :"5800"n, :"5807"n, :"5814"n, :"5821"n, :"5828"n, :"5834"n, :"5841"n, :"5848"n, :"5855"n, :"5862"n, :"5869"n, :"5875"n, :"5882"n, :"5889"n, :"5896"n, :"5903"n, :"5910"n, :"5917"n, :"5924"n, :"5931"n, :"5938"n, :"5945"n, :"5952"n, :"5959"n, :"5967"n, :"5974"n, :"5981"n, :"5988"n, :"5995"n, :"6002"n, :"6010"n, :"6017"n, :"6024"n, :"6031"n, :"6039"n, :"6046"n, :"6053"n, :"6061"n, :"6068"n, :"6075"n, :"6083"n, :"6090"n, :"6098"n, :"6105"n, :"6112"n, :"6120"n, :"6127"n, :"6135"n, :"6143"n, :"6150"n, :"6158"n, :"6165"n, :"6173"n, :"6180"n, :"6188"n, :"6196"n, :"6203"n, :"6211"n, :"6219"n, :"6227"n, :"6234"n, :"6242"n, :"6250"n, :"6258"n, :"6266"n, :"6274"n, :"6281"n, :"6289"n, :"6297"n, :"6305"n, :"6313"n, :"6321"n, :"6329"n, :"6337"n, :"6345"n, :"6353"n, :"6361"n, :"6369"n, :"6378"n, :"6386"n, :"6394"n, :"6402"n, :"6410"n, :"6418"n, :"6427"n, :"6435"n, :"6443"n, :"6452"n, :"6460"n, :"6468"n, :"6477"n, :"6485"n, :"6494"n, :"6502"n, :"6510"n, :"6519"n, :"6527"n, :"6536"n, :"6545"n, :"6553"n, :"6562"n, :"6570"n, :"6579"n, :"6588"n, :"6596"n, :"6605"n, :"6614"n, :"6623"n, :"6631"n, :"6640"n, :"6649"n, :"6658"n, :"6667"n, :"6676"n, :"6684"n, :"6693"n, :"6702"n, :"6711"n, :"6720"n, :"6729"n, :"6739"n, :"6748"n, :"6757"n, :"6766"n, :"6775"n, :"6784"n, :"6793"n, :"6803"n, :"6812"n, :"6821"n, :"6831"n, :"6840"n, :"6849"n, :"6859"n, :"6868"n, :"6878"n, :"6887"n, :"6897"n, :"6906"n, :"6916"n, :"6925"n, :"6935"n, :"6944"n, :"6954"n, :"6964"n, :"6974"n, :"6983"n, :"6993"n, :"7003"n, :"7013"n, :"7022"n, :"7032"n, :"7042"n, :"7052"n, :"7062"n, :"7072"n, :"7082"n, :"7092"n, :"7102"n, :"7112"n, :"7123"n, :"7133"n, :"7143"n, :"7153"n, :"7163"n, :"7174"n, :"7184"n, :"7194"n, :"7205"n, :"7215"n, :"7225"n, :"7236"n, :"7246"n, :"7257"n, :"7267"n, :"7278"n, :"7289"n, :"7299"n, :"7310"n, :"7321"n, :"7331"n, :"7342"n, :"7353"n, :"7364"n, :"7375"n, :"7386"n, :"7396"n, :"7407"n, :"7418"n, :"7429"n, :"7440"n, :"7452"n, :"7463"n, :"7474"n, :"7485"n, :"7496"n, :"7508"n, :"7519"n, :"7530"n, :"7541"n, :"7553"n, :"7564"n, :"7576"n, :"7587"n, :"7599"n, :"7610"n, :"7622"n, :"7634"n, :"7645"n, :"7657"n, :"7669"n, :"7680"n, :"7692"n, :"7704"n, :"7716"n, :"7728"n, :"7740"n, :"7752"n, :"7764"n, :"7776"n, :"7788"n, :"7800"n, :"7813"n, :"7825"n, :"7837"n, :"7849"n, :"7862"n, :"7874"n, :"7886"n, :"7899"n, :"7911"n, :"7924"n, :"7937"n, :"7949"n, :"7962"n, :"7974"n, :"7987"n, :"8000"n, :"8013"n, :"8026"n, :"8039"n, :"8052"n, :"8065"n, :"8078"n, :"8091"n, :"8104"n, :"8117"n, :"8130"n, :"8143"n, :"8157"n, :"8170"n, :"8183"n, :"8197"n, :"8210"n, :"8224"n, :"8237"n, :"8251"n, :"8264"n, :"8278"n, :"8292"n, :"8306"n, :"8319"n ), Source Label Column( "Wavelength" ), Stacked Data Column( "Intensity" ), Output Table( "Stacked_table_NIR" ) );
This graph is not a paralell plot, as a paralell plot has "independant" scales for each variable to allow for better pattern detection/recognition. More infos here : https://www.data-to-viz.com/graph/parallel.html.
You can find attached your datatable, with the scripts added for the stacked table and the Graph Builder (script in the stacked table).
I hope this answer will help you,
Which plot are you looking for? I don't see parallel plot in your functional data explorer script
Are you looking for something like this?
or this?
(these have been created by first stacking the data)
Thanks Victor, not possible to get one scale for parallel plots? There's not a lot difference among the NIR intensities.
