scatter

Two measurements from the same case become one dot on two axes. Nothing is aggregated, so every case stays visible and the pattern is whatever the cloud does: a slope, a curve, a clump, a few dots far from the rest. It is the only renderer here that shows a relationship between two quantities, and it still shows association rather than direction.

Example

Best when each case carries two numbers and you want to know whether they move together.
