Setting the Style
You pick the Style box to enable/disable the variable and the remainder of
the menu, and also to set the “style” of the variable.
Figure 7.24 Selecting the variable style
Style box, with
Line Graph selected
Note: When the Define Graph Var. menu is initially displayed, the Style
box is set to Disabled, and the remainder of the menu items are disabled.
The first step in defining the variable, then, is to set the Style box to a
setting other than Disabled ( Dot or Line ), which selects the style, enables
the variable, and also enables the rest of the Define Graph Var. menu.
Picking the Style box repeatedly cycles the box through three settings:
•
Disabled – Disables the variable, as well as the remainder of the menu.
•
Dot Graph – Plots the variable as a series of dots, one dot per result.
•
Line Graph– Plots the variable as a continuous line.
Selecting either the Dot Graph or the Line Graph option automatically
enables the remainder of the Define Graph Var. menu. Figure 7.25 shows
examples of Line Graph and Dot Graph styles.
