Features

  • It's easy to identify categorical attributes using the attribute panel. This panel allow you to search by attribute name, or to select the attribute type (e.g. categorical) you want to visualize.
  • Inserting with a double-click first tries to place the categorical chart on the left panel. If the left side of the dashboard is full, the chart is added to the middle panel.
