Histogram

Histograms cluster cases of numeric attributes within intervals. They are especially useful when you have a large number of cases.

To make a histogram,

1.

Put a numeric attribute on the horizontal axis. From the data cards, drag the name of a numeric attribute onto the horizontal axis of the plot (the lower part of the plot will highlight to indicate when you can drop).

2.

Separate the attribute into bins. In the plot, drag any case icon to the right to create more bins (up to eight); drag left to reduce the number of bins.

3.

Stack vertically. In the upper plot toolbar, click the Stack Vertical button.

4.

Fuse the icons. In the lower plot toolbar, choose Fuse Rectangular from the Icon Type menu.

You can fine-tune the interval width either by dragging the bin lines or by setting the interval width.
