Benchmark visualization made simple

Axis Swapping

When your benchmark data has multiple dimensions (2D or 3D), the UI lets you swap which dimension maps to which axis. This changes the perspective without regenerating the file.

How It Works

Section titled “How It Works”

Vizb extracts three dimensions from benchmark names:

  • Name — groups benchmarks into separate charts
  • XAxis — categories on the X-axis
  • YAxis — test case variants

In the UI, use the axis dropdown to rearrange these. For example, swap Name and YAxis to see all variants grouped differently.

When to Swap

Section titled “When to Swap”
  • Compare different perspectives of the same 3D data
  • Group by variant instead of by benchmark family
  • Switch which dimension appears on the X-axis for better comparison

Setting Defaults

Section titled “Setting Defaults”

The initial axis assignment comes from your --group-pattern or --group-regex flags:

Terminal window
# Default: Name=XAxis=YAxis assignment from pattern
