In-Depth Information
This view is much easier to read, and the pattern is now obvious. In addition, another pattern
has become clearer: between 2007 and 2012, strikeouts per game increased, while pitchers
per team did not.
I prefer to format connected scatterplots to look like the view shown in
Figure 9-13
. To do
this, the following steps are required:
1. Drag a second
Pitchers per Team
pill onto the Columns shelf to the right of the
first and make it a dual-axis plot.
2. Right-click in the top x-axis and select
Synchronize Axis
, then uncheck “Show Head-
er.” The top x-axis should disappear.
3. Take
Measure Names
off of the Color shelf of “All” by dragging and dropping it back
into the Measures area.
4. Change Mark type for
Pitchers per Team (2)
from
Line
to
Circle
, and take
SUM(Year)
off of the Labels shelf.
5. In the Marks panel for
Pitchers per Team (2)
, change the Circle color from blue
to white and give each circle a gray border.
6. In the Marks panel for
Pitchers per Team
, change the color of the line to gray and
reduce the size.
