Scatter Plot Maker
Paste X,Y data pairs to build a scatter plot and see how two variables relate. Each row is one point, with the x value in the first column and the y value in the second.
How it works
A scatter plot places one point for every pair of values, with the first number on the horizontal axis and the second on the vertical axis. It is the standard way to reveal a relationship between two continuous variables — a rising cloud of points suggests a positive correlation, a falling cloud a negative one, and a shapeless cloud little relationship. Paste one X,Y pair per row; an optional header row names the axes.
The chart uses value axes that scale to your data and re-colours for light and dark themes. Data can be comma-, tab- or space-separated so you can paste directly from a spreadsheet, then screenshot the plot for a report.
Examples
- 1,2 / 2,4 / 3,3 draws three points in the plane.
- A rising cloud of points indicates a positive correlation.
- A header row like x,y names the axes.
Frequently asked questions
- What data does a scatter plot need?
- Pairs of numbers: the first column is the x-coordinate and the second is the y-coordinate. Each row becomes one point.
- How do I read a scatter plot?
- Look at the overall pattern of points. An upward trend means the two variables increase together; a downward trend means one falls as the other rises; a random spread means little or no relationship.
- What input formats are accepted?
- Comma-, tab- or space-separated X,Y rows, with an optional all-text header row to name the axes.
- Is my data private?
- Yes. The plot is built in your browser and your data never leaves your device.
