# Scatter Chart

Scatter charts are based on basic line charts with the x axis changed to a linear axis. To use a scatter chart, data must be passed as objects containing X and Y properties. The example below creates a scatter chart with 3 points.

    var scatterChart = new Chart(ctx, {
        type: 'scatter',
        data: {
            datasets: [{
                label: 'Scatter Dataset',
                data: [{
                    x: -10,
                    y: 0
                }, {
                    x: 0,
                    y: 10
                }, {
                    x: 10,
                    y: 5
                }]
            }]
        },
        options: {
            scales: {
                xAxes: [{
                    type: 'linear',
                    position: 'bottom'
                }]
            }
        }
    });

## Dataset Properties

The scatter chart supports all of the same properties as the line chart.

## Data Structure

Unlike the line chart where data can be supplied in two different formats, the scatter chart only accepts data in a point format.

    data: [{
            x: 10,
            y: 20
        }, {
            x: 15,
            y: 10
        }]
