Data Element Types (XGRAPH command)

The data element type is a basic description of how the data are represented on the chart.

BAR. Draws a bar data element. Bars show the results of a summary function. Used for 3-D bar charts and population pyramids that show the distribution of a categorical variable.

HISTOBAR. Draws a histogram data element. Histogram data elements show the counts in a range of cases. A range of cases is called a bin. Used for population pyramids.

POINT. Draws a point marker. A point marker shows a case with a specific x-axis value. Used for dot plots.
