SDM Smart Graph Visuals
The SDM Smart Graph Visuals suite provides six professional-grade chart visuals for Power BI:
- Smart Column Chart — Grouped and stacked column/bar charts
- Smart Line Chart — Multi-series line charts with end-of-line labels
- Smart Scatter Plot — XY scatter plots with size encoding and zoom insets
- Gradient Heatmap — Continuous heat surfaces interpolated from scattered sample points
- Smart Radar — Spider webs over n axes, each carrying its own scale
- Smart Pie Chart — Pies, donuts and half-circle gauges, as small multiples or concentric rings
Key Features
All six visuals share a common foundation — the About dialog, the Global Threshold panel, the licensing card, native tooltips and cross-filtering. Beyond that, each visual carries the features that make sense for its own shape:

The heatmap labels its sample points with the category name rather than with a value, which is why it carries no data-label card of its own — see Category Labels.
