Custom Graph Reference

A complete list of Geometries and Statistics available in Custom Graph. Click the help button (?) in the layer settings for details on each item.

Geometry

GeometryDescription
Point (Scatter)Displays data as individual points.
LineConnects data points with lines.
BarVertical bars for categorical data. Use Fill (not Color) to change bar color.
AreaFilled area under line.
Tile (Heatmap)Grid of colored cells. Use Fill to set cell colors.
Step (Kaplan-Meier)Stair-step line pattern. Used for Kaplan-Meier curves and ECDF.
Ribbon (Confidence Band)Shaded area between ymin and ymax (confidence bands).
Error BarError bars showing ymin to ymax range with caps.
Vertical Line (Reference)Fixed vertical reference line. Configure style in the layer settings.
Horizontal Line (Reference)Fixed horizontal reference line. Configure style in the layer settings.
ContourDraws a curve from a series of points. Used for Cook's distance contours in regression diagnostics.
Density 2D2D kernel density estimation as contour lines. For 1D density curves, use the Density (KDE) statistic.

Statistics

StatisticsDescription
Identity (No transformation)Passes data through without transformation.
Bin (Histogram)Groups numeric data into bins and counts occurrences.
Time Bin (Datetime Histogram)Groups datetime data into time intervals.
Smooth (Regression)Fits a smoothing curve (linear regression or LOESS).
Count (Aggregation)Counts occurrences for each X value.
Density (KDE)Estimates probability density using kernel density estimation.
Summary (Aggregation)Aggregates Y values by X using mean, sum, median, min, max, standard deviation, or variance.
Survival (Kaplan-Meier)Computes Kaplan-Meier survival estimates.
X MeanCalculates the mean of X values. Use with vline geom to draw a vertical reference line.
X MedianCalculates the median of X values. Use with vline geom to draw a vertical reference line.
Y MeanCalculates the mean of Y values. Use with hline geom to draw a horizontal reference line.
Cumulative Sum (Pareto)Computes cumulative sum of Y values. Combine with Sort and Bar + Line to create Pareto charts.
Sort (Pareto)Sorts data by Y values in descending order. Combine with Cumulative Sum to create Pareto charts.
ECDF (Empirical CDF)Computes empirical cumulative distribution function.
QQ (Normal Q-Q Plot)Computes quantiles for normal Q-Q plot.
Transform (Linear)Applies linear transformation (multiply and add) to Y values.
