# Scattered Plot chart

A Scatter plot is a two-dimensional data visualization that uses dots to represent the values obtained for two different variables - one plotted along the x-axis and the other plotted along the y-axis.

* **Best Situation to use Scatter Plot Chart:** Scatter plots display a correlation between two variables (x and y-axis) to compare large numbers of data points without regard to time.
* **Variations of this Chart**: Bubble Plot chart (3D), Density Plot (2D)
