Options Tab

Use the Options tab to specify additional features that are applied to the visualization when it's created.

Output Label

The output label defines the text that appears in the outline pane of the Output Viewer. A default label is generated based on variable and template selections. If you changed the label and later decide that you want to restore the default label, click Default.

Stylesheet

A visualization stylesheet specifies stylistic properties of the visualization. For example, the stylesheet can define fonts, dashings, and colors, among other options. To a certain extent, stylesheets provide a shortcut for edits that you would have to make later. Note, however, that a stylesheet is limited to style changes. Other changes such as the position or the legend or the scale range are not stored in the stylesheet. Click Select to display the Select Stylesheet dialog box and choose a different stylesheet. For more information about this dialog box, see Select Stylesheet Dialog Box .

User-Missing Values

Break Variables. If there are missing values for the variables used to define categories or subgroups, select Include so that the category or categories of user-missing values (values identified as missing by the user) are included in the chart. These "missing" categories also act as break variables in calculating the statistic. The "missing" category or categories are displayed on the category axis or in the legend, adding, for example, an extra bar or a slice to a pie chart. If there are no missing values, the "missing" categories are not displayed.

If you select this option and want to suppress display after the chart is drawn, open the chart in the Chart Editor and choose Properties from the Edit menu. Use the Categories tab to move the categories that you want to suppress to the Excluded list. Note, however, that the statistics are not recalculated if you hide the "missing" categories. Therefore, something like a percent statistic will still take the "missing" categories into account.

Note: This control does not affect system-missing values. These are always excluded from the chart.

Summary Statistics and Case Values. You can choose one of the following alternatives for exclusion of cases having missing values:

• Exclude listwise to obtain a consistent base for the chart. If any of the variables in the chart has a missing value for a given case, the whole case is excluded from the chart.
• Exclude variable-by-variable to maximize the use of the data. If a selected variable has any missing values, the cases having those missing values are excluded when the variable is analyzed.
