Introducing seven new tutorial videos that will help you get the most out of your implementation of Altair® Panopticon™ for stream processing and visualization for real-time and time series data. 

Find the videos in the Panopticon Knowledgebase.

Visualize Abstract Datasets and Objects with 3D Scatterplots: The 3D scatterplot visualization in Panopticon enables analysts to explore datasets in three dimensions. The data can be abstract; for example, you can make a 3D plot of securities based on price movements or other properties. The data can also correlate to physical objects, including geophysical coordinates.

Five New Text Color Palettes: Panopticon 2021.1 introduces five new text color palettes that give dashboard designers more styling choices. Designers can also create custom palettes and save those as part of a theme for later reuse. 

Add Path Lines to Maps: Panopticon 2021.1 supports the ability to draw two types of path lines on map plots: Great circle arcs are curved lines that follow the surface of the Earth. Rhumb lines are straight and connect map positions based on a Mercator projection. Analysts can filter the number of map points displayed on a map plot and the map will expand or contract automatically to accommodate the number of map points displayed based on the filter settings.

Control Tick Mark Labels on Time Axes: Panopticon 2021.1 introduces new ways to control tick mark labels on time axes. End Points and Tick Points menus provide a wide range of formats to choose from and dashboard designers can also specify custom formats. The Minimum Time Axis Range and the associated Increment Step menus provide new levels of control when displaying real-time data streams.

Numeric Combination and Text Combination Visualizations: Panopticon 2021.1 supports two new types of combination visualizations: Numeric combination visualizations and text combination visualizations. These amplify the capabilities of the existing time combination visualization. 

Set Alignment of Axis Tick Mark Labels: Panopticon provides several options for configuring the alignment of axis tick mark labels. Dashboard designers can set the labels at any angle, positive or negative. In a live dashboard, Panopticon will automatically adjust and display fewer labels If there is not enough space to accommodate labels for every tick point.

Control Axis Margin Widths: Panopticon allows dashboard designers to set axis margin widths in several places through menus as well as with mouse gestures. Analysts using Panopticon dashboards in presentation mode can also use the mouse to adjust axis margin widths as needed to ensure that any unexpectedly long labels remain visible.
