XY Plot

What is a {{template-name}}, and when should you use one?

Also called a scatter plot, XY graph or a scatter graph, an XY plot displays values for variables using dots on a grid. An XY graph template in your presentation can show a pattern or a relationship across a set of multiple data points. They are often used to discuss data in business presentations, such as revenue, sales, profit and losses, and so on.

Use the XY plot template to:

  • Predict future trends
  • Spot patterns in customer or audience behavior
  • Display changes over time

Pro Tips for using an XY Plot Template

Here are a few things to consider when using an XY graph template.

Since each data point only takes up one small dot on the grid, XY plots are perfect for plotting a high number of data points.

While an XY graph is great for displaying trends and patterns, it’s not as accurate when showing increases and decreases from one data point to another.

If your data has a clear positive or negative relationship, add a trend line to your data to make it more visible.

Play around with the colors of your data point dots, your grid, trend line, or labels. The more visually compelling you can make it, the better your audience will be able to interpret it.
