--- title: Scatter Plot Widget description: >- Graph a chosen scope over two different metrics with their respective aggregation breadcrumbs: Docs > Dashboards > Widgets > Scatter Plot Widget --- # Scatter Plot Widget A scatter plot identifies a possible relationship between changes observed in two different sets of variables. It provides a visual and statistical means to test the strength of a relationship between two variables. The scatter plot visualization allows you to graph a chosen scope over two different metrics with their respective aggregations. {% image source="https://datadog-docs.imgix.net/images/dashboards/widgets/scatterplot/scatterplot.288411c3eb21025bd011c9b5acc6e692.png?auto=format" alt="Scatter Plot" /%} ## Setup{% #setup %} ### Configuration{% #configuration %} 1. Select a metric or other data set, and an aggregation for the X and Y axis. 1. Define the scope for each point of the scatter plot, such as `host`, `service`, `app`, or `region`. 1. Optional: enable a color-by tag. 1. Optional: set X and Y axis controls. 1. Choose whether your widget has a custom timeframe or the dashboard's global timeframe. 1. Give your graph a title or leave the box blank for the suggested title. ### Options{% #options %} #### Context links{% #context-links %} [Context links](https://docs.datadoghq.com/dashboards/guide/context-links/) are enabled by default, and can be toggled on or off. Context links bridge dashboard widgets with other pages in Datadog, or third party applications. #### Global time{% #global-time %} Choose whether your widget has a custom timeframe or the dashboard's global timeframe. ## API{% #api %} This widget can be used with the **[Dashboards API](https://docs.datadoghq.com/api/latest/dashboards/)**.
