Scatter Charts Too Slow And Showing Error Popup In Ie

[sanjaysutar]

Hi,

 

I am using Scatter.swf to show scatter charts for around 8000 * 8 data points.

 

So in all I have 8 DataSeries to plot, each containing 8000+ data points.

 

When i run the page, I get IE error saying that the script in the movie is running too slow.

 

 

I have added the screenshot for reference.

Hi,

 

Scatter chart has maximum limit of 3000 data plot. So, chart will not be able to take load of 8000 data-plots.

Thanks for the reply.

 

Please suggest any chart type which can support such large data points.

 

Zoomline chart supports such large datasets, but I want to show PointChart, showing points and not lines along with points (what zoomline chart does)

Hey,

 

To have a similar effect to Scatter chart, can be obtained using Zoomline chart with alpha attribute set to 0 for data-set elements.

 

So, only the anchor points are visible.

Few more queries around Zoomline chart :

 

• Zoom in /out feature
• Visual selection of data as shown here http://www.fusioncharts.com/demos/features/#visual-selection-of-data
• 3D rotation as shown here http://www.fusioncharts.com/demos/features/#true-3d-capabilities

I'm using the Zoomline chart instead ofthe Scatter chart and the chart in Zoomline does not look good enough. We are not able to see the peaks and the outliers properly, the zoomline chart shows random values that doesn't make much sense to buisness users.
 

The scatter chart gives proper idea of where the population is concentrated where as the zoomline chart doesnot give any idea how the data points are distributed in the chart.

I saw similar issue faced by users in topic: http://forum.fusioncharts.com/topic/9702-zoom-line-chart-macroscopic-view/?hl=zoomline#entry54147

Attaching the screen-shot of the issue we are facing with Zoomline chart, the zoomline chart does not give an idea of how the population is distributed. Scatter chart is better but we cannot have more than 3000 point. The attched charts are for 684 data points and Zoomline is not showing proper chart.

Hi Abhishek,

 

Please note, Scatter charts are used when there are two interdependent parameters to be shown on a charts. 

For example, to understand the variation of rainfall with temperature.

Scatter chart plots data according to the x and y co-ordinates.

Whereas, ZoomLine chart is nothing but a Line chart used to plot tens of thousands of data points all at once. 

Starting with the macroscopic view, you can use its zoom and scroll feature to have a microscopic view of the data. It also helps in comparison of non-adjacent data sets using the pin functionality. For example, if you had to plot the daily stock price of a company over a decade, the zoom line chart is the best fit.

So, plotting data in ZoomLine charts with concentration (like Scatter charts) will not give you proper results.
