|---|---|---|
| Bar | Comparing categories | One categorical column + one numeric column |
| Line | Trends over time | One ordered column (date/numeric) + one or more numeric columns |
| Scatter | Correlation between two variables | Two numeric columns |
| Histogram | Distribution of a single variable | One numeric column |
| Pie | Proportions of a whole | One categorical + one numeric column |
| Box Plot | Distribution summary (quartiles, outliers) | One categorical (optional) + one numeric column |
| Heatmap | Matrix-style intensity | Two categorical columns + one numeric column |
| Area | Cumulative trends | Same as line chart |
| Table View | Raw data inspection | Any columns — sortable, paginated table |
All charts are rendered in the browser using a JavaScript charting library. They update live as you modify the underlying recipe. Features include: zoom and pan, hover tooltips, click-to-filter, legend toggling, and chart export as PNG or SVG.
Charts can be exported as PNG images or SVG vector graphics. The export is a one-click operation from the chart toolbar. Exported charts include the title, axis labels, and legend exactly as configured in the Workbench.
The Charts tab works alongside the Statistics tab on every recipe. Run a statistical analysis (mean, median, standard deviation, correlation matrix), then switch to Charts to visualise the results. The chart picker suggests appropriate chart types based on the selected columns.
