Visualizations in analyses<br />
A visualization is a visual representation of the data in a Visual Insight<br />
analysis, such as a grid or graph. Visualizations provide multiple ways to<br />
display and interact with the data from the analysis's dataset. Each<br />
visualization is displayed on a separate tab in the analysis. You can click the<br />
tab of a visualization to display it.<br />
The different types of visualizations available for analyses are:<br />
• Grid visualization: You can display data in an interactive grid, allowing<br />
users to pivot, sort, move, drill, filter, and perform additional<br />
manipulations on data displayed in the grid. (See Analyzing data in a<br />
Grid visualization, page 145 for an example.)<br />
• Graph visualization: You can display the data in a graphical format and<br />
choose between a variety of different graphs, such as an area graph, line<br />
graph, or pie chart. (See Analyzing data in a Graph visualization,<br />
page 146 for an example.)<br />
• Graph Matrix visualization: You can display the data in a chart<br />
containing one graph for every combination of the data that you specify,<br />
allowing users to examine the data for each combination individually.<br />
(See Analyzing data in a Graph Matrix visualization, page 146 for an<br />
example.)<br />
• Google Map visualization: You can display the data as geographical<br />
locations on a map, then change the color, size, and display of markers<br />
based on the value of a metric, to allow users to quickly grasp<br />
relationships between different locations. (See Analyzing data in a<br />
Google Map visualization, page 149 for an example.)<br />
• Heat Map visualization: You can display the data as a combination of<br />
colored rectangles. Each rectangle represents an attribute element, and is<br />
colored and sized according to the value of metrics in the visualization,<br />
allowing users to quickly grasp the state and impact of a large number of<br />
