Decided to do this now:

I think this does the job -attached.

TIME is the problem field in a plot - (y-axis in previous picture).

Hi Lukas,

Thanks for the quick reply.

Yes I did in XQuery a subtract of 0 and made a new XML DB to work around this.

The document has some sensitivity - I can create a new DB on only the field that we are interested in here if you want?

Bear with me and I'll send it later today if so.

 

Best Regards

Greg

Hi Greg,

 

the scatter plot takes its information whether an attribute is numerical/categorical from

some DB statistics. The checkbox for the log scale in your provided screenshot is

deactivated - most likely because BaseX assumes that the TIME attribute is categorical.

This explains the lexicographic order and the different casing (e-01 / E-01).

 

A quick fix could be to convert the exponential to decimal representation (if you need the

plot at the moment). For now I'm filing an [issue] on GitHub.

 

Is it possible that you supply us with a part of the document that reproduces the issue?

 

 

Regards,

Lukas

Hi

I find BaseX a very powerful tool.

One thing I noticed however is that it misunderstands numbers in scientific notation in the scatter plot display.

Please see the attached plot.

The samples should form a rough diagonal line.

However, look at the scale on the left and you can see the exponent field is 'dis-continuous'.

It looks like the chart formatter treats it as a non-scientific number or possibly even lexicographic order.

 

 

Best Regards

Greg
