Graph Properties dialog box

This dialog box is used to configure graph labels and axes ranges.

To display the Graph Properties dialog box:

  1. On the graph, right-click and select Graph Properties.

Note: See also Graph shortcuts.

A simple Graph Properties dialog box is used for many graphs. Some graphs include additional settings. The full title of the dialog box varies with the graph and data type.

Custom labels

Label

Description

Title

Enter the graph title. The default title is the source variable name.

X-axis

Enter the name for the X-axis. The default name includes unit information.

Y-axis

Enter the name for the Y-axis. The default name includes unit information.

Fixed limits

Click the Clear Limits button to use default axes-limits.

Limit

Description

X-axis

Enter the X-axis Minimum value and Maximum value. Displayed units are based on the source data type.

Note: See also Frequency distribution graph note.

Y-axis

Enter the Y-axis Minimum value and Maximum value. Displayed units are based on the source data type.

Note: See also Frequency distribution graph note.

Frequency distribution bins

The Frequency distribution section is used to control the display of Frequency distribution graphs.

Description

Number of bins

Enter the number of bins for the frequency distribution calculation.

Notes:

  • Frequency distribution graph calculations are based on the axes limits and number of bins. Be aware that the data population may also be affected by settings on the Analysis page of the Variable Properties for the variable. Similarly, for single target data with Analysis page and Filter page settings.
  • When X-axis limits are blank, the axis limits are derived from the data and number of bin and then rounded for ease of handling/display.
  • The export of frequency distribution for regions on single target variables requires the specification of limits and bins under Frequency Distribution on the Analysis page of the Variable Properties dialog box.
