I started working with KNIME a few days ago and at this point I am really fascinated what a fantastic tool it is. However, there are a lot of details where I could need some help from you guys!
The first problem that I can’t solve on my own is changing the scaling of my Boxplots. I found this ca be done with the CSS-Editor node where a flow variable can be defined. Although I have read the Guide (https://docs.knime.com/latest/analytics_platform_css_guide/index.html) , I need some advice.
Can someone tell me how to use the “knime-axis-max-min” exactly in order to change the scaling?
Or is this approach wrong at all ? Maybe there are easier ways to change axis scaling?
Hi,
welcome to the KNIME Forum. I am glad you like KNIME!
The x-Axis of a boxplot usually displays no numeric values, but only categories. Do you mean the y-Axis? I don’t think this is possible via CSS, as the node automatically computes the scale of the y-Axis based on the minimum and maximum values in the data. It also adjusts the axis when you select another column in the menu, so a fixed value wouldn’t work well. Can you post a screenshot of what you are trying to achieve?
Kind regards
Alexander
thanks for your fast reply. You are right, the x-Axis displays the category or name of the dataset.
I want to change the y-Axis. As you can see in my Boxplot, the zero value is not centered due to the automatically computed maximum and minimum value. For a better visibility I would like to have the y=0 in the middle of the axis by setting max = 1 and min = -1.
this is no problem at all, it helps a lot to know that it can’t be done this way! I will have a look at the node you posted, thanks again for your help!
