function scatter

scatter(
    table: 'wandb.Table',
    x: 'str',
    y: 'str',
    title: 'str' = '',
    split_table: 'bool' = False
) → CustomChart
Constructs a scatter plot from a wandb.Table of data. Args:
  • table: The W&B Table containing the data to visualize.
  • x: The name of the column used for the x-axis.
  • y: The name of the column used for the y-axis.
  • title: The title of the scatter chart.
  • split_table: Whether the table should be split into a separate section in the W&B UI. If True, the table will be displayed in a section named “Custom Chart Tables”. Default is False.
Returns:
  • CustomChart: A custom chart object that can be logged to W&B. To log the chart, pass it to wandb.log().
Example: 
import math
import random
import wandb

# Simulate temperature variations at different altitudes over time
data = [
   [i, random.uniform(-10, 20) - 0.005 * i + 5 * math.sin(i / 50)]
   for i in range(300)
]

# Create W&B table with altitude (m) and temperature (°C) columns
table = wandb.Table(data=data, columns=["altitude (m)", "temperature (°C)"])

# Initialize W&B run and log the scatter plot
with wandb.init(project="temperature-altitude-scatter") as run:
   # Create and log the scatter plot
   scatter_plot = wandb.plot.scatter(
        table=table,
        x="altitude (m)",
        y="temperature (°C)",
        title="Altitude vs Temperature",
   )
   run.log({"altitude-temperature-scatter": scatter_plot})
