- po 11y agohmm... I would describe it as something like a '2D histogram square-bin plot' a 'categorical plot' or perhaps a variant of a 'mosaic plot' using color density instead of area. http://www.math.yorku.ca/SCS/sugi/sugi17-paper.html http://www.math.yorku.ca/SCS/sugi/sugi17-paper.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosaic_plot http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosaic_plot
- has2k1 11y agoThanks, that is a lot more than I hoped for yet very appropriate considering what I plan to do with it.
- peatmoss 11y agoIn all honesty, I'd call it a table. This plot stood out for me as being unnecessarily a plot. It's tabular data, plain and simple. The x and y axes are simply used to order the margins of the table. They've added colors, which I guess are a little plotty, though I'm not sure the color adds or detracts here.
