Large size marks cut off in scatter plot

James Vanderhyde Mar 8, 2018 1:44 PM

I am trying to create a scatter plot with marks of various sizes. As you can see in the picture, the shapes are cut off. How can I modify the post region to include the whole shape? I was able to fix the horizontal axis by converting it to a decimal type, edit the axis, and manually fix the range. But I can't make this work for the vertical axis because the values were set from a bin operation, and it does not have a way to edit the axis.

Here is an example:

I am thinking of something to do with your data values, Like take out some percentage from your MAX value like MAX* 0.9 or something, but only for MAX and others to remain same and in Tool tip, you can include actual Data.

When I create the bins from the original dimension, I do not have the option to specify the min and max. They are set to 0 and 1, and greyed out. The only thing I can change is the size of the bins.

I did n't know your data, so just took a wild shot in absence of workbook to help you. As I see, Size is cutting of, that means you need to find appropriate size under your MAX value of 1 in Axis. So You need to do some data manipulation for Maximum value in your data set and force it be below 1. Rest all values can remain same.

I added the TWBX to my original post, so you can see the data. The problem is that the data is in the range 0 to 1, and I cannot change that when I create the bins.

But the real problem is that I can't adjust the axis.

That is what I had to do, but I wanted the shapes to be bigger. Shrink them small enough for the biggest ones to fit in the plot window, and the smallest ones are too small to judge the size. You can tell the size difference in my original screenshot. Thanks for the help. This is not exactly the solution I was hoping for.

Hi James,

I think you want the edit sizes menu - use the drop down caret on the legend, then click Edit Sizes. This should assist with visibility when you change the size of the smallest items.

Changing the size doesn't solve the problem. I am controlling the size using the slider in the Marks card. The problem is I can't get the size big enough without the shapes cutting off at the edge of the plot region.
