You can specify multiple properties, one for the x axis, one for the y axis, one for coloring the points by, one to set the size of the points. Color by and Size by are optional, and can be shown or hidden by right-clicking on their buttons, or using the + Attribute link at the top of the Properties section.

Specify the properties to be included in the chart. You can specify multiple properties. Click the paintbrush to choose the color for the data.

Best fit option and text box: Plot the line of best fit. The equation of the line is shown in the text box along with the R² value.
Diagonal with slope option and menu: Display the line passing through the origin with the slope chosen from the menu (+1 or −1), showing perfect correlation or anticorrelation. This option is likely only useful if the data are sufficiently highly correlated.

Chart area

This area displays the chart. The button to the top right expands the chart area to the full size of the panel and hides the rest of the controls, or collapses it again to display the controls.

Hovering on a point displays a popup with the entry title, the 2d structure for the entry, and the x and y properties and values for the point.

Right-clicking on a point selects it if it is not selected, and displays a menu with actions that can be performed on the point. If it is one of multiple selected points, the menu items apply to the selected points.

Selected point context menu

The context menu for the selected points has the following items:

Select in Project Table—select the entries in the Project Table/Entry List for the selected points, and deselect all others. This item is unavailable if the Project Table selection is the same as the entries for the selected points in the chart.
Include in Workspace—replace the contents of the Workspace with the entries for the selected points. This item is unavailable if the entries in the Workspace are the same as the entries for the selected points in the chart.
Label with Property Values—label the selected points with their property values. The submenu allows you to choose the x or the y property value, or both, or remove the labels.
Expand to Other Datasets—expand the selection entries from the current dataset to all the other datasets in the chart, so that the selected entries are the same for all datasets. This replaces any previous selection of entries by selection of points.
Zoom to Region—Zoom the chart in to the region occupied by the selected points.
Remove Entry from Chart—remove the entries for the selected points from the chart. This allows you to change the entries whose data are plotted.

Export button menu

Export the chart as an image (PNG or TIFF) or save the chart data to a CSV file. Opens a file selector so you can browse to a location and name the file.
