    Categoric custom color scheme import needs improvement - I need to choose the colors. And More.

    I have needed this feature for the last 10 years. When I import a set of colors that I have saved to library, there is no way to choose how the colors are mapped onto categoric values. Spotfire just takes them in order and it's always the same. Th...

    Improved/Intuitive Color Properties

    There is an issue with the color by: option within visualizations in Spotfire. Currently I have created a 10 step color scheme starting with Purple ending with Yellow (see: Color Scheme pic). When I establish this color scheme in Properties > C...

    An idea to improve CustomVisualization loading performance

    So far, at least in WebPlayer, each time, when user switch back to our visualization from another page, all the HTTP content (js, css...) of the custom visual will be reloaded through GetResourceCore() API. The browser can't cache them as a normal...

    custom y-axis label when using multiple columns

    I want my y-axis to say what it represents, such as "Error %" instead of "(6 columns)". I can list the visible columns using the legend, so I don't really care how many columns are plotted on the y-axis.

    Improve categorical coloring rules based on counts

    I don't think that Spotfire does this, and it does not look like it from my eyeballing. When determining the color mapping for a categorical column, Spotfire should first perform a count of all column values, then apply its "best" categorical colo...

    Move points on map with a click and drag

    Say you have a number of points on a map, in this case representing a hypothetical wellbore as an example. It would be amazing if you could click a point and move it in space. We’ve built a well planning app in spotfire and need the ability to mov...

    Allow "Draw as Step Lines" to be multiaxis specific

    I have several data sets that show actual data vs a model as line charts. The actual data is best represented as a continuous line while the model would be best shown as a "step line.

    Combo Chart Enhancement

    Option to set axis font color instead of defaulting to "series by" color. I can't use yellow or light colors for bars or lines because the axis will be unreadable. Option to have multiple scales when using stacked bars with lines. Majorly limits v...
