Scatter


A scatter plot is a type of mathematical diagram using Cartesian coordinate to display values for two variables for a set of  data. The data is displayed as a collection of points, each having the value of one variable determining the position on the horizontal axis and the value of the other variable determining the position on the vertical axis.
