Ideas for user document's Plot

[marysunc]

What pain point is this feature intended to address? Please describe. There isn't specific instructions as a user to find out how to use different kinds of plot. Another is that aligning label names in Vizier and the user doc. I see that for plot, data series is actually dataset in Vizier, which was confusing for me initially when I was looking at the doc to try using vizier. Lastly, the pictures of Vizier is different from the current vizier which is noted to be updated. Basically, parts that a beginner will want to know is not mentioned on the doc.

Describe the solution you'd like

• [x] Consider to be more user friendly by creating different sections in plot to introduce how each plot is used i.e scatter plot, line chart, and simple. Similar to Vega website, we can separate each different type of plot into a section so that each subfunction can be mentioned.
• [x] Introduce tips on how to use certain features. For example, how to use the filter variable, ranges of color user can use, and avoid using the same label or mention that if no label is given, system will default into what label.
• [ ] Mention how to download or interact with the plot.

How about this for the filter and color options:

It is a brilliant idea to have examples in the options, but users might get confused on where does the "state" come from. For example if I had a graph of democratic and republican's votes in different states, would it be party = democratic or government = democratic. Basically is that, people have different ways of saying the same thing. I think maybe something like the "state" is actually the name of the x or y axis can be mentioned in the user doc.
