Scatterplots

Scatterplots are one of the oldest and most commonly used methods to project high-dimensional data to 2-dimensions. In this method, an grid of parallel projections of the data are generated. Each of these is a simple plot for the two dimensions it represents. The horizontal dimension of a scatterplot is controlled by the column it resides in, and likewise the vertical dimension is controlled by the row. At the top of each column and at the left of each row is a label that shows what dimensions that row / column represents.
