Enabling Independent Axis Scale

Arcadia Enterprise lets you apply independent axis to trellised visuals.

Trellis charts are very powerful visualization tools. However, they do not work well when one trellis partition contains values that are several orders of magnitude larger than in other trellis partitions. The charts that represent segments with smaller values are very difficult to interpret. You can mitigate this problem by enabling independent axis.

Depending on the type of visual, this option may appear as one of:

Independent Dimension Scale

For Bar, Lines, Areas, Grouped Bars, and Box Plot visuals, to make dimension scale independent, navigate to the Trellis menu, and select Independent Dimension Scale.
