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
| Chart | Best for |
|---|---|
| Table | Browsing raw rows and columns |
| Line | Trends over a continuous axis, such as time |
| Bar | Comparing values across categories |
| Area | Trends where the magnitude below the line also matters |
| Pie | Proportions of a whole |
| Scatter | Relationships 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.
