Plots Options

In the Pareto Plot platform, the Plots red triangle menu contains options to customize the appearance of the plots.

Pareto

Shows a submenu of options to change the appearance of the Pareto plot.

Show Pareto Bars

Shows or hides the bars that correspond to the value for each cause.

Subcategory Bar Style

(Available only when a subcategory is specified in the launch window.) Sets the style of the Pareto bars to Side by Side, Stacked, Bullet, Nested, Single, Needle, or Float.

Bar Style

(Not available when a subcategory is specified in the launch window.) Sets the style of the Pareto bars to Bar or Float.

Bar Label Format

Opens a window that enables you to edit the format of the bar label.

Show Pareto Line

Shows or hides a line that connects the values for each cause.

Pareto Line Connect Style

(Available only when the Pareto Line is shown in the plot.) Sets the line style of the Pareto line to Line, Curve, or Step.

Show Pareto Markers

Shows or hides markers at the value for each cause.

Show Error Bars

Shows or hides error bars on the Pareto bars.

Pie Chart

Shows the bars as a pie chart.

Cumulative Percent

Shows a submenu of options that affect the appearance of the cumulative percent curve and labels on the Pareto plot.

Show Cum Percent Curve

Shows or hides the cumulative percent curve above the bars.

Cum Line Connect Style

Sets the line style of the cumulative percent curve to Line, Curve, or Step.

Cum Percent Curve Color

Changes the color of the cumulative percent curve.

Show Cum Percent Points

Shows or hides the points on the cumulative percent curve.

Label Cum Percent Points

Shows or hides the labels for the points on the cumulative curve.

Cum Percent Label Format

Shows a window that enables you to edit the format of the cumulative percent label.

Orientation

Sets the orientation of the plot to be vertical or horizontal. The default orientation is vertical.

Note: When the orientation is horizontal, the scale of the X axis is always percent. The Percent Scale option that enables you to toggle between a percent scale and a count scale is disabled.

Legend Position

Changes the position of the legend around the Pareto plot.

Legend Settings

Shows a window with options to edit legend settings such as the color, title position, and font of the legend text.

Show Cum Percent Axis

Shows or hides the cumulative percent axis on the vertical right axis.

Synchronize Y Axes

(Available only when the orientation is vertical.) Locks and unlocks the two Y axes. When this option is selected, zooming and panning of one axis is synchronized with the other axis.

Percent Scale

Sets the scale of the left Y axis to count or percent. A count scale is shown by default.

N Legend

Shows or hides the total sample size in the plot area.

Reorder Horizontal

(Available only when a grouping variable is specified.) Reorders horizontally grouped Pareto plots.

Reorder Vertical

(Available only when a grouping variable is specified.) Reorders vertically grouped Pareto plots.

Swap Group Orientation

(Available only when a grouping variable is specified.) Swaps the horizontal and vertical groups in the Pareto plot. If only one group is specified, the orientation of the plot is changed.

Ungroup Plots

Separates grouped Pareto plots when there are two or more groups.

Selected Causes

Shows a submenu of options to change the bars in the Pareto plot. These options are also available with a right-click anywhere in the plot area.

Move to Last

Moves one or more highlighted bars to the right (last) position.

Markers

Shows the markers palette for assigning a marker to the points on the cumulative percent curve, when the Show Cum Percent Points command is in effect.

Label

Displays the bar value at the top of all highlighted bars.
