Cerate a parallel plot with NIR data

With gaph builder I would like to create a parallel plot with NIR data. I have tried but I get a very messy graph as shown in attached file, how can I make this plot like the one in the functional data explorer?

Re: Cerate a parallel plot with NIR data

Hi @frankderuyck,

 

You will need your data in a stacked format to realize a similar plot with Graph Builder.

Here are the steps to have the graph you want :

  1. Stack your datatable (all the wavelengths columns), change the names Label and Data as "Wavelength" and "Intensity" for example :
    Victor_G_0-1724239454954.png

    Script for this operation : 

    // Stack data table
    // → Data Table( "Stacked_table_NIR" )
    Data Table( "PARALLEL PLOT NIR" ) << Stack(
    	columns(

  2. Change the data type and modeling type of "Wavelength" as Numeric and Continuous.
  3. Use Graph Builder, set "Wavelength" as X, "Intensity" as Y, and you'll get the Graph :
    Victor_G_1-1724239594618.png

     

This graph is not a paralell plot, as a paralell plot has "independant" scales for each variable to allow for better pattern detection/recognition. More infos here : https://www.data-to-viz.com/graph/parallel.html. 

You can find attached your datatable, with the scripts added for the stacked table and the Graph Builder (script in the stacked table).

I hope this answer will help you,

Re: Cerate a parallel plot with NIR data

Which plot are you looking for? I don't see parallel plot in your functional data explorer script

jthi_2-1724239307431.png

 

Are you looking for something like this?

jthi_0-1724239184959.png

or this?

jthi_1-1724239226529.png

(these have been created by first stacking the data)

Re: Cerate a parallel plot with NIR data

Thanks Victor, not possible to get one scale for parallel plots? There's not a lot difference among the NIR intensities.
