There are many exciting new features in Grapher Preview! Our focus remains on increasing usability, improving workflows to increase time savings, and including the most commonly requested new features. The top new features are listed below.

1.  Create bubble plot legends with variable symbol sizing

Create legends with proportional symbol sizing for Bubble plots! Now you can easily show the data values controlling the Size variable for your Bubble plot. Use the default labeling system supplied from your input data file, or manually edit each entry to set your own label text. The symbol shape and bubble color properties will update in the Legend when changed in the bubble plot itself.

The following plot types are now able to create the new Bubble Plot Legend:

• Bubble Plot
• XYZ Bubble Plot
• Ternary Bubble Plot

Add a bubble plot legend with proportional bubbles with just the click of your mouse

2. Box Plot Improvements

• Set adjustable or variable Box widths in Grapher Preview

Control the width of Box Plots in Grapher Preview! Change the width of all box plots together, or use a variable width for each Box Plot. The Variable setting will vary the size based on the number of sample entries in each set of data. Using this setting is a good way to quickly compare the data populations for each box, which can be an indicator of statistical significance.

• Filter input data for Box Plots using the Criteria Filter

Use Clipping and/or Criteria Filter with Box Plots in Grapher Preview! The Criteria Filter allows you to plot your data and exclude or include data values based on your chosen criteria, without manually removing these data from your file. Remove outlier values, negatives values, or erroneous records with ease. 

Use Criteria Filter to include/exclude specific data from your plot

4. Ternary Plots: Use Clipping and Criteria Filter in Grapher Preview

Clip a value or range of values using Clipping, or include/exclude specific column criteria using Criteria Filter on a Ternary Plot. This is a great way to filter your data by well ID or remove null values.
