This menu is used for specifying data for a 3D Scatter plot. Once the data
have been selected you can draw the graph by clicking on the Finish button,
alternatively, additional options and axis settings can be set by clicking on
the Next button.
Type of plot
You can specify how your data is formatted by selecting the appropriate type
of plot. You can select from:
Single XYZ
Multiple X & Single YZ
Multiple Y & Single XZ
Multiple Z & Single XY
Paired XY & Single Z
Paired XZ & Single Y
Paired YZ & Single X
Triplet XYZ
Select X
Specifies the x-coordinates of the points to be plotted. Select the name of the
identifier for the coordinates from the list of available variates and factors.
When an identifier is selected the name will then be entered into the X Data
list in the Data Currently Selected for Plotting section. Alternatively,
type the name of the identifier in directly and press return to enter it in the
list.
Select Y
Specifies the y-coordinates of the points to be plotted. Select the name of the
identifier for the coordinates from the list of available variates and factors.
When an identifier is selected the name will then be entered into the Y Data
list in the Data Currently Selected for Plotting section. Alternatively,
type the name of the identifier in directly and press return to enter it in
the list.
Select Z
Specifies the z-coordinates of the points to be plotted. Select the name of the
identifier for the coordinates from the list of available variates and factors.
When an identifier is selected the name will then be entered into the Z Data
list in the Data Currently Selected for Plotting section. Alternatively,
type the name of the identifier in directly and press return to enter it in the
list.
Select Grouping Factor
This can be used to specify a factor indicating that the points are
partitioned into different groups. The groups will then be identified on the
plot by using different GenStat pens (where the pen number is given by the
corresponding level of the factor). As a result, different colours will be
used for units belonging to different groups.
