Parallel Coordinate Chart with Category/Datetime axes

Example of two distinct use cases within Parallel coordinate charts:

  1. Category Axes
  2. Date-Time Axes

In the application, there are two Category Axes, "Short or long" and "Time period".
Category axes can be displayed by disabling the tick strategy, placing desired ticks manually (addCustomTick) and specifying the formatting (e.g. 0 -> "< 5 miles", 1 -> "> 5 miles")

Date-Time axes work just like in other chart types, data points can be inputted as UTC timestamps, and the built-in Date-Time axis tick strategy works wonderfully.

The example context is analysis of different shoe brands against several variables such as:

  • Time (2018 - 2022)
  • Training duration (hours)
  • Running distance (miles)
