Visualizing results

Whenever a paragraph produces tabular output, Skeyenote shows a chart-type switcher above the result so you can move between a raw table and several chart types without changing your code.

Built-in chart types

ChartBest for
TableBrowsing raw rows and columns
LineTrends over a continuous axis, such as time
BarComparing values across categories
AreaTrends where the magnitude below the line also matters
PieProportions of a whole
ScatterRelationships between two numeric fields

Configuring a chart

Each chart type has a settings panel where you drag the columns of your result into roles such as:

  • Keys — the field(s) used to group rows along the axis (for example a date or a category)
  • Groups — an optional field used to split the chart into series
  • Values — the numeric field(s) to plot, each with an aggregation (sum, average, count, min, or max)

Changing these settings re-renders the chart immediately, without re-running the paragraph.

Combining charts with narrative

Because paragraphs run independently and can be reordered freely, a notebook can mix %md narrative paragraphs with code paragraphs and their charts to double as a lightweight, shareable report.
