How to draw a bounding box in a scatter data graph

[wongil shin]

Is there any way to draw a bouding box to see how my data are well-targeted at a glance?

I only know drawing horizontal line and vertical line in scatter data graph.

Thank you for your interest!

Hello,

In the example below you can see two ways (the plots to the right) I tested to create something bounding-box-like. Maybe one of those could work for you.

In the top right example I used a Map Chart and the Draw Bounding Box Data Function for TIBCO Spotfire data function (which can be downloaded from the TIBCO Community Exchange - https://community.spotfire.com/s/exchange/aCv4z000000kPWOCA2/draw-bounding-box-data-function-for-tibco-spotfire).

Pros

The bounding box could e.g. be a filled rectangle (or whatever shape you want to use)

Cons

Using a map chart, you can't show axis values.

-----------------

In the bottom right example, I used Curve Draw (right-click on the plot > Properties > Lines & Curves > Add > Curve Draw) to add two custom curves

Curve 1 expression:

If(x=0,-1,If(x>0 and x<10,10))

Curve 2 expression:

If(x>0 and x<10,-1,If(x>=10 and x<10.01,10))

Pros:

Easier to setup/manage/edit

Cons:

This can just show lines - not a filled image like the map chart/data function example above.
