Investigation through Filtering, Drilling, and Zooming

Three approaches can be used to focus attention on particular areas:

• Filtering

• Zooming

• Drilling

Zooming into the Scatter Plot by rotating the mouse wheel allows the small multiple under the mouse pointer to be expanded.

Hold down the Ctrl key while dragging your mouse to pan around within the zoomed area, to focus on other of the small multiple scatter plots.
