XY charts
The XY charts give a graphical representation of elements that have been prioritized according to certain criteria. The data points in XY charts are represented by customizable bubbles.
XY chart options
You can use the XY charts to:
select multiple elements at a time, and edit the attributes for all of the non-selected elements
display the XY chart bubbles with colors that are specified through a choice or an indicator attribute
resize the bubbles, and change the bubble style
display all bubbles in one size
toggle the selection of elements graphically
copy the chart to the clipboard without setting a login URL
select or clear elements according to a certain criteria. The priority scores of the selected elements are calculated and displayed in the chart. A blue circle around an element marker indicates that the element is the one that is selected
save, print, and open the chart in a new window
generate reports in PDF and rich text format
zoom in and zoom out to examine the elements and to identify the elements that overlap
hide or show the elements
get detailed information about an element by moving the mouse over the element
plot titles, prefix, and icons on the chart.
Note Focal Point 6.6 and later uses a new algorithm to render the bubble size. To use the old algorithm while viewing the XY charts saved from previous releases, select Advanced > SQL and execute this query:
update projectsetting set value='false' where name='visualize.xy.new.bubble.algo'
