Dividing a visualization across a trellis grid
Trellising, whereby you divide a series of visualizations into individual panels, is a useful technique when you want to subdivide your analysis. In the example we've been working with, we might, for instance, want to split the visualization by league.
Open the visualization properties for the home runs distribution bar chart colored by salary and select the Trellis property.
Go to Panels and split by League (use the dropdown column selector).
Note
Spotfire allows you to build layers of information with even basic visualizations such as the bar chart. In one chart, we see the home run distribution by team, salary distribution by team, and breakdown by league.
