This menu is used for entering the data for a trellis plot, which is a
rectangular array of plots each presenting a particular graph for a particular
subset of the data. For each subset of data you can draw histograms, boxplots
or scatter plots. Once the data have been selected you can draw the graph by
clicking on the Finish button or, alternatively, additional options and axis
settings can be set by clicking on the Next button.
Method for Plotting
Specify which form the data are to be plotted by selecting the appropriate method for plotting. You can
select from Scatter Plot, Histogram or
Boxplot.
Select Y-Values
Specifies the y-values of the data 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 Scatter Method (Scatter Method Only)
For a Trellis plot using the scatter plot method you can specify which form the data are to be plotted by
selecting the appropriate scatter method. You can select from Point,
Line or Mean. The selected method will be shown in the
Method list.
X Values (Scatter Method Only)
Allows you to specify the x-values to plot the y-values against for a scatter
plot. Select the name of the identifier containing the x-values from the
available list of variates and factors. Alternatively, you can type the name
of the identifier in the space provided.
Groups for Frames
A factor to specify how the data are to be divided into separate plots. A
separate plot is drawn for each level of the factor.
Groups within Frames
A factor used together with the Groups for Frames factor to specify how the
data are to be divided into separate plots. A separate plot is drawn for each
combination of the factor levels.
