Hey,  
I have created a transform table in Quiver with some numeric aggregations of time series. I want to plot these two columns against each other, using one as X axis and one as Y axis. They are both numeric. What is the simplest way to do this? Is the only solution a Vega plot?

The simplest way to do this in Quiver would be to:

1. create a “Categorical plot from transform table” card
2. group by the x column
3. create a sum (or other aggregation) of the y-column
4. in the display configuration of the card, set the display type to “Scatter chart”
5. back in the data configuration of the card, sort by value ascending (sorts by x-column ascending)
