CSV to Scatter Chart

Paste a CSV with numeric X/Y data and Plotiq plots it as an interactive scatter chart. Hover any point to read its exact values; toggle the best-fit line for a quick summary.

Made for researchers, analysts, and data-savvy students.

1. Drop or paste a CSV

Upload a CSV with at least two numeric columns. Parsing happens live as you paste.

2. Pick numeric X and Y pairs

Select the X column and one or more Y columns — each Y becomes its own color-coded series.

3. Inspect and export

Hover points for exact values, toggle the regression overlay, then export as PNG or SVG.

Is "scatter chart" the same as "scatter plot"?

Yes. The terms are interchangeable. A scatter chart (or scatter plot) uses X/Y coordinates to display data points.

How do I interpret the regression line on a scatter chart?

The slope describes the average change in Y per unit of X; points far from the line are residuals. If the line doesn't fit well, the relationship probably isn't linear.

Can I chart multiple scatter series at once?

Yes — pick more than one Y column. Each becomes a separate color-coded series on the same X axis.

Does the scatter chart support dates on the X axis?

Yes — dates on X let you build a time-indexed scatter chart while preserving every observation (no aggregation).
