# Scatter

Initially, the scatter plot will be empty.&#x20;

Drag and drop or double-click signals from the signal list to the x/y or color signal fields to add them to the plot. This is basically the same as you would do with a time series plot (see: [Signal List](/docs/marple-insight/user-manuals/analysis/signal-list.md#add-signals)) .

After adding some signals to the scatter plot, the plot should look something like this:

## Settings

When you click on the settings wheel, there are ample options to further configure the scatter plot.

### **Resample input signals**

You can turn on and off the resampling of the input signals and change the frequency of the resampling. See [Resampling](/docs/marple-insight/user-manuals/analysis/resampling.md) for more details.

### Change the bullet size

You can change the bullet size of the data points that are drawn on the plot to any desirable size.

### Change axes

You can exchange the X and Y-axes by clicking on the button **cycle through the signals.**

### Alter the limits of the X and Y-axes

Set the **limits** of the X and Y-axes

### Show subsampling grid

You can turn on the display of a **subsampling grid.** This is useful for large datasets, as these are aggregated along a grid.

### Trend line

You can apply a trend line, and choose whether you want the trend line to be linear, quadratic or cubic.

### **Filter outliers**

To filter out outliers, you will have to add another signal from the signal list, and set a unit beyond which data points will not be considered. You can add multiple filtering signals.

### Add colour signal

Add a colour dimension to the plot by adding a new signal and configuring lower and upper bound colors
