Orbit Chart Node

The Orbit Chart Node, invented by Datastripes, is designed for multidimensional (3+ dimensions) analysis. Each data point is represented as a scatter3d point, with additional dimensions visualized as colored orbits around that point. This transforms each data point into a solar-system-like representation.

Overview​

This node requires the user to select three primary dimensions (X, Y, Z axes) and additional dimensions for orbit representation. Each orbit's size and color correspond to the values of the additional dimensions.

Key Features​

  • Multidimensional analysis: Visualize data with 3+ dimensions.
  • Solar-system representation: Each data point becomes a solar-system with orbits.
  • Customizable orbits: Configure orbit size and color based on dimension values.
  • Interactive exploration: Integrates with dashboards for dynamic analysis.

Required Data​

  • xColumn: The X-axis dimension.
  • yColumn: The Y-axis dimension.
  • zColumn: The Z-axis dimension.
  • orbitDimensions: Array of additional dimensions for orbit representation.
  • orbitSize, orbitColor, log, polar, movingAvg: Additional display options.

How it works​

  1. Add the Orbit Chart Node to your workflow.
  2. Connect your dataset.
  3. Select the X, Y, Z dimensions and additional orbit dimensions.
  4. Configure orbit size and color options as needed.
  5. The node renders a multidimensional orbit chart.

Use Cases​

  • Scientific data visualization: Analyze complex datasets with multiple dimensions.
  • Customer segmentation: Visualize customer attributes across multiple metrics.
  • Performance analysis: Track multidimensional KPIs in a single view.

Benefits​

  • Enhanced multidimensional visualization for complex datasets.
  • Intuitive solar-system representation for easier interpretation.
  • Flexible configuration for orbit size and color.
