Dot Plot Examples (XGRAPH command)

A dot plot shows the value in one dimension (the x-axis) of each selected case. The variable on the x-axis can be scale or categorical.

XGRAPH CHART=([POINT]) BY jobcat[c].

• The chart shows cases represented as points.
• Cases are stacked at each jobcat value. So, if there are three categories for jobcat, there are only three stacks.

  XGRAPH CHART=([POINT]) BY salary[s].

• Cases are stacked at each salary value. The x-axis is a continuous range of values.

  XGRAPH CHART=([POINT]) BY salary[s]
    /DISPLAY DOT=SYMMETRIC.

• Same as the previous example except the stacked dots are centered vertically in the chart.
