Enabling a continuous axis on dimensions
You can customize your visuals according to their data type. To look at trends and the rate of change, use a continuous axis on numerical dimension, which shows data at equal intervals. Compare visuals that use a continues dimensional axis to results with a categorical axis, which only plots dataset values.
To use regular intervals, navigate to the Axes menu, and select the Make Dimension Axis Continuous option.
The image on the left shows a categorical X axis where each label represents a value in the
dataset, from 50
to 160
. The image on the right shows a
continuous X axis where labels are auto-generated, in equal intervals starting from
0
to 160
. Notice how enabling this feature gives a clearer
visual representation of where the calorie levels fall within a range of values.
