Scatter Plots : General parameters in scatter plots

# dataLabelBackgroundBorderColor
Color for the border in data labels background

# dataLabelBackgroundBorderLineType
Type of line for the border in data labels background
Type: string
Default: solid
Options: rect, solid, spline, dotted, dashed, dotdash, longdash, twodash
Used in: Contour, Density, Histogram, SPLOM, Scatter2D, Scatter3D, ScatterBubble2D, Streamgraph

# dataLabelBackgroundBorderSize
Size for the border line in data labels background
Type: float
Default: 0.5
Used in: Contour, Density, Histogram, SPLOM, Scatter2D, Scatter3D, ScatterBubble2D, Streamgraph

# dataLabelBackgroundColor
Color for the data labels background
Type: color
Default: rgb(255,255,255)
Used in: Contour, Density, Histogram, SPLOM, Scatter2D, Scatter3D, ScatterBubble2D, Streamgraph

# functionColor
Color for the function plots
Type: color
Default: rgb(0,0,0)
Used in: Contour, Density, Histogram, SPLOM, Scatter2D, Scatter3D, ScatterBubble2D, Streamgraph

# groupingFactorWindow
The width for the data when grouping in Scatter2D plots. This is the analogous parameter to cut_width in R. It defaults to a fifth of the data range. The scatterType must be boxplot to take this parameter into effect
Type: float
Default:
Used in: Contour, Density, Histogram, SPLOM, Scatter2D, Scatter3D, ScatterBubble2D, Streamgraph

# isBumpPlot
Flag to create a Bump plot
Type: boolean
Default: false
Used in: Contour, Density, Histogram, SPLOM, Scatter2D, Scatter3D, ScatterBubble2D, Streamgraph

# isDataLabels
Flag to put a background in data labels
Type: boolean
Default: false
Used in: Contour, Density, Histogram, SPLOM, Scatter2D, Scatter3D, ScatterBubble2D, Streamgraph

# isDataLabelsBackgroundColor
Flag to use the color in the colorDataLabels as a background in data labels
Type: boolean
Default: false
Used in: Contour, Density, Histogram, SPLOM, Scatter2D, Scatter3D, ScatterBubble2D, Streamgraph

# scatterAxesEqual
Flag to keep same range in both axes
Type: boolean
Default: false
Used in: Contour, Density, Histogram, SPLOM, Scatter2D, Scatter3D, ScatterBubble2D, Streamgraph

# scatterDataPointsColor
Color for the data points in scatter plots
Type: color
Default: rgb(0,0,0)
Used in: Contour, Density, Histogram, SPLOM, Scatter2D, Scatter3D, ScatterBubble2D, Streamgraph

# scatterLineAlpha
Transparency applied to lines in scatter plots
Type: float
Default: 1
Used in: Contour, Density, Histogram, SPLOM, Scatter2D, Scatter3D, ScatterBubble2D, Streamgraph

# scatterOutlineThreshold
Maximum number of data points before skipping plotting their outline but only the fill color
Type: integer
Default: 50000
Used in: Contour, Density, Histogram, SPLOM, Scatter2D, Scatter3D, ScatterBubble2D, Streamgraph

# scatterPointAlpha
Thickness applied to data points in scatter plots
Type: float
Default: 1
Used in: Contour, Density, Histogram, SPLOM, Scatter2D, Scatter3D, ScatterBubble2D, Streamgraph

# scatterType
Type of scatter plot. On a Scatter3D, density builds a kernel-density (kde2d) surface from 2D scattered points and renders it as a rotatable surface.
Type: string
Default:
Options: False, line, bar, dot, area, image, lineImage, lineStep, boxplot, visium, manhattan, manhattanCNV, bin2d, clustree, polygon, stream, density
Used in: Contour, Density, Histogram, SPLOM, Scatter2D, Scatter3D, ScatterBubble2D, Streamgraph

# showDataLabels
Flag to show/hide the data labels in scatter plots
Type: boolean
Default: false
Used in: Contour, Density, Histogram, SPLOM, Scatter2D, Scatter3D, ScatterBubble2D, Streamgraph

# showScatterLineOriginalData
Flag to show/hide the observed data points in scatter plots with scatter type line
Type: boolean
Default: false
Used in: Contour, Density, Histogram, SPLOM, Scatter2D, Scatter3D, ScatterBubble2D, Streamgraph
