Vis Graph2D Streaming Points
Scatter / point-style Graph2d showing one dot per data event over time, with point size encoding magnitude. Achieved with `style:'points'` and per-item `size`. Perfect for irregular event streams (deploys, sales, signups) plotted on a real time axis where bars or lines would misl

When to use this template
This visualization makes the timing and intensity of individual, discrete events immediately obvious over a continuous time axis. Analysts reach for it to identify patterns in event frequency, detect anomalies, or correlate event magnitudes with specific time periods, especially when events are irregular and not suited for aggregated bars or connected lines.
- Time-series data where each record represents a distinct, instantaneous event.
- Datasets with an event timestamp and a single quantitative metric per event.
- Irregularly spaced events where gaps in time are meaningful.
- High-frequency event streams where individual occurrences are important.
- Data where event magnitude is a primary focus, not just presence.
- Observing event density and clustering over a continuous timeline.
