| Visual Roles | |
|
The
category visual role is a plot-level visual role that
represents a generic
logical grouping of the data points.
|
|
|
The
color visual role is a plot-level visual role that
is visually encoded by the color of visual elements.
|
|
|
The
lowerQuartil visual role is a plot-level visual role that
is visually encoded by the bottom position of the box visual element,
along the orthogonal axis.
|
|
|
The
maximum visual role is a plot-level visual role that
is visually encoded by the position of the rule that crosses
the bottom whisker of the box visual element,
along the orthogonal axis.
|
|
|
The
median visual role is a plot-level visual role that
is visually encoded by the position of the middle rule of the box visual element,
along the orthogonal axis.
|
|
|
The
minimum visual role is a plot-level visual role that
is visually encoded by the position of the rule that crosses
the top whisker of the box visual element,
along the orthogonal axis.
|
|
|
The
series visual role is a plot-level visual role that represents a
series of connected data points.
|
|
|
The
upperQuartil visual role is a plot-level visual role that
is visually encoded by the top position of the box visual element,
along the orthogonal axis.

Category data may be discrete or continuous. The relevant characteristic is that data with equal category values is grouped and summarized in some way.
So, if more that one data point exists for a given series and category values combination, nevertheless, only one visual element is generated for the whole group.
Some chart types support showing continuous category types, in a continuous scale. Others, turn continuous dimension types bound to the category visual role into discrete dimension types, and then show the continuous categories in a discrete scale.
The category visual role automatically binds to every dimension whose name has the category prefix.
The visual role itself is optional, yet, when unbound, a dimension with a "category" prefix is automatically created for it, and all datums will have the value null in that dimension.
See pvc.options.VisualRole for more information on supported data types.

The color visual role automatically binds to every dimension whose name has the color prefix or, if none exists, the dimensions of the "series" visual role.
The color visual role is discrete.

- CartesianPlotVisualRoles
The lowerQuartil visual role automatically binds to a single numeric dimension whose name has the lowerQuartil prefix.
The lowerQuartil visual role is optional.
See pvc.options.VisualRole for more information on supported data types.
The maximum visual role automatically binds to a single numeric dimension whose name has the maximum prefix.
The maximum visual role is optional.
See pvc.options.VisualRole for more information on supported data types.
The median visual role automatically binds to a single numeric dimension whose name has the median prefix.
The median visual role is required.
See pvc.options.VisualRole for more information on supported data types.
The minimum visual role automatically binds to a single numeric dimension whose name has the minimum prefix.
The minimum visual role is optional.
See pvc.options.VisualRole for more information on supported data types.
Most cartesian charts represent graphically the connectedness of data points of a given series in some way, by connecting points with a line, by giving them all the same color, or, simply, by the order in which they are drawn, and when overlapped, some stay on top of others.
The series visual role automatically binds to every dimension whose name has the series prefix.
The visual role itself is optional, yet, when unbound, a dimension with a "series" prefix is automatically created for it, and all datums will have the value null in that dimension.
See pvc.options.VisualRole for more information on supported data types.

The upperQuartil visual role automatically binds to a single numeric dimension whose name has the upperQuartil prefix.
The upperQuartil visual role is optional.
