Histogram Charts (numeric attributes)
Line Charts (timestamp attributes)
Special Features
- The bin width setting is used as a guide.
- Thus, changing the bin width may not have an effect in binning in some cases.
- The resulting binning also depends on:
- Data range (limits),
- If the chart is used for filtering, and zoomed-in, the filter range is used as data range.
- Chart width, and
- Bin scale type (for numeric data).
- Data range (limits),
- The bins are further automatically optimized for readability depending on the data type and distribution:
- For histograms (numeric attributes), bins are selected as multiples of 2, 5, or 10.
- For line charts (time-stamp attributes), binds are selected by year, month, weeks, days, and so on.
