Structure

The large-scale structure of a visual is controlled by Subplots, Facets and Secondary Axes

Subplots

• Count supports up to 64 (8 x 8) subplots in a visual

Butterfly chart

In the following example of a butterfly chart, we use two x-axes to show two different metrics. These x-axes share the same y-axis.
