Specialty Graphs

Specialty graph include graphs such as box-whisker plots, ternary diagrams, or stiff diagrams. Each graph has its own rules and displays in a completely unique way. As with all graph types in Grapher, you have complete control over all aspects of the graph. 

Box and whisker plots display statistical data. Each column is assigned to a box. The box top-bottom values are defined by the 25th percentile and 75th percentile. The whiskers are the minimum and maximum values, unless outliers are defined. Then, the whiskers can be changed with an outlier definition. Box and whisker plots allow complete control of all line colors and styles, symbol colors and shapes, and fill colors.


Display outliers on a box-whisker plot as symbols or as whisker lines. 
Compare multiple sets and change the properties of each.

Bubble plots display three variables on two axes. The third variable is shown in the size of the bubble. All aspects of the plot can be changed, including the bubble symbol, line properties, and whether labels are shown.


Bubble plots display variable symbol sizes, based on data in a column. 
Axes display with multiple options such as dates or reverse direction. 

Hi-Low-Close plots display a range of Y values at each X value. These plots are commonly used to display the high, low, opening and closing of stock values, though Hi-Low-Close plots are also used for many other purposes. Hi-low-close graphs can be displayed with the standard line or with bars, the "candlestick" graph. 


Display multiple axes and multiple graphs on each page. 
Add a graph magnifier to highlight a subset of your data.

Pie Charts show data as proportional slices of a circle. Each data value is divided by the sum of the data to determine the size of the slice. Explode slices to emphasis a particular item! Change the property of each slice individually.


Pie charts can show multiple slices, with full customization of each slice,
including labels, fill color, and explosion factor.

Stiff diagrams can be used to display water quality. Stiff diagrams show relative concentrations of multiple cations and anions. 


Stiff plots can be color filled to aid in the interpretation of the graph.

Ternary diagrams show the relative proportions of three variables on three axes. Choose to show the relative proportions as percentages or as fractions. Add lines to connect the points on the ternary diagram! Display any column for the labels or show relative proportions for labels! Zoom in on an area of interest!


Zoom in on a section of a ternary diagram to reveal more detail!

Vector plots are used to show the starting and ending point of a variable, such as wind or current. Grapher allows you to set the starting XY position. The ending position can be specified with angle and magnitude or ending XY position. 


Add line/scatter base maps to add locations to your vector maps!
