💡 Favor SignalPlot over ScatterPlot
Scatter and signal plots are the most commonly used plot types, so ensure you understand the pros and cons of each:
-
Scatter plots have paired X/Y data points. Scatter plots are designed to display hundreds of points, but performance rapidly drops as the number of points increases, so scatter plots are not appropriate for large datasets.
-
Signal plots have Y data and a sample rate. Signal plots are optimized for performance and can render datasets with millions of points at a high framerate.
-
SignalConst plots uses an algorithm optimized for constant data values, allowing interactive rendering of hundreds of millions of data points at a high framerate.
