The Points element

shows data values as points.

You can change the following properties:

Turns jitter on or off. Jitter adds random noise to values to reduce over-plotting.

Changes the axis that is associated with the response variable to X (horizontal), Y (vertical), or Auto (the Y axis for Points). The variable on the Response Axis is used to calculate the Summary Statistic.

Summary Statistic

Changes the statistic being plotted. The statistic is calculated using the variable on the Response Axis. None is the default setting, indicating that the data values themselves are plotted.

Adds or removes error bars in the graph. All error bars are available when the Mean is selected as the Summary Statistic. Only Range bars are available for the Median. No error bars are available otherwise.

Shows or hides graph elements for variables, or re-orders the display of variables.

Note: These options do not apply to variables in the Overlay, Group X, Group Y, Wrap, or Page zones.

Check boxes are followed by the zone designation and the name of the variable. Use check boxes to do the following:

–

Show or hide the elements corresponding to a variable in a zone.

–

Add or remove the effect of applying the Color, Size, Shape, or Freq variable to the variable in the zone.

Tip: If you have multiple graphs, you can color or size each graph by different variables. Drag a second variable to the Color or Size zone, and drop it in a corner. In the Variables option, select the specific color or size variable to apply to each graph.

Use arrows to re-order the display if there are multiple variables in a zone. Highlight a variable name and click an arrow to reposition it.
