Description
An UpSet plot visualizes intersections of multiple sets using a matrix-based layout that scales far better than Venn diagrams beyond 3 sets. A horizontal bar chart shows set sizes, a dot-matrix below indicates which sets participate in each intersection, and a vertical bar chart above shows the intersection size. This is the modern standard for set intersection analysis.
Applications
- Comparing gene sets from multiple genomic experiments
- Analyzing feature overlap across machine learning model versions
- Visualizing user segments across multiple marketing criteria
- Showing bug categories that overlap across software modules
Data
element (str) — item identifiersets (list[str]) — which sets this element belongs to- Size: 4–15 sets, 100–10000 elements
Notes
- Intersections sorted by size (descending) or by degree
- Connected dots show which sets form each intersection
- Horizontal bars on left show individual set sizes
- Vertical bars on top show intersection cardinality
- Superior to Venn for >3 sets (existing venn-basic limited to 2–3)
