Abstract
A process displays a data visualization user interface on a computing device. Using the user interface, a user selects a data set and a set of configuration parameters. The parameters selected include (i) a first data field from the data set to define a first axis of a two-dimensional data visualization and (ii) a second data field to define a second axis of the data visualization. When the user selects the first axis, the interface displays an axis configuration window. The user selects the symmetric log axis scaling option for the first axis. The device retrieves the data set from a database according to the configuration parameters. The device then generates and displays the data visualization according to the configuration parameters, including scaling the first axis of the data visualization using a symmetric log transformation function and displaying axis tick marks on the first axis according to the scaling.
