A little context
When to use a scatter plot.
Explore relationships, clusters, and unusual observations. Each point represents one record.
A design thought
Lower the opacity when points overlap. Color can identify groups while the axes show the numeric relationship.
Good question
What does each point represent?
Each point is one observation positioned using its values on the two numeric axes. In this example, colors identify work arrangements.
