Creating this page to get a rough idea what it might look like to have a hub specifically for graphs. Personally speaking, I think graphs may benefit different from a conventional search in that it shouldn't contain every single permutation of graphs separately BUT it should contain semi-comprehensive, step-by-step examples that take the fear out of working with graphs. Additionally, on this page you would be able to visibly see the graphs so if you don't know the exact terminology of what you're looking for, you're brought to a fairly succinct page that you can quickly sift through and find a graph close to what you want to accomplish. Part of how we solve the discoverability issue is by placing it i=under the Analytica 'Help' tab near the other wiki mentions. I think graphing is important enough & a large enough struggle to warrant placement of the page in the software. It might be placed somewhere like here:

Example of what each item might look like:

Fan Chart

Fan Chart.png

Download: Example_Download_Page.ana


Heat Map

Heat Map Chart.png

Download: Example_Download_Page.ana


etc. etc.

This doesn't follow the same format but another thing that may belong on here is a concise section on helper graph functions (like the better debug function demoed by Lonnie):

Helper Functions

Currently includes:

  • Graph_Debug_Info(): Better debug output function
