Overview

The Small Multiples Widget provides a way to plot a high density of information in the form of stacked area charts in order to perform visual correlation between time-series information that share the same time period. In conjunction with performance improvements with Data Collection processing in AppBoard 2.6, this high-performance component can display 100,000s of data points split across the multiple data series.

Mouse interaction with the widget highlights the series under the mouse and adds a vertical indicator for the nearest valid data point, as well as highlighting the same data point for all other series that have a data point for the same timestamp.

Due to the dependency on D3.js this widget requires modern Chrome, Firefox, or Internet Explorer 9.0 or later.

Configuration

To access the widget configuration you must be logged in with the portalAdministration role and in the Builder. Click on the wrench icon in the top-left of the widget.

This widget expects a data collection where one column represents the X-Axis identifier, another columns represents the Y-Axis identifier, and another column has the actual values used to determine the intensity.

The configuration reflects the above and also allows the width of the Y-Axis labels to be set.

Actions are also supported by this widget by configuring normal AppBoard actions.
