Make a New Plot

To make a new plot,

1.

Drag a plot from the object toolbar (upper-left corner of window) into the document and drop it where you want it to appear.

 

In the plot you should see a random arrangement of circle icons. Each icon is a case in the collection.

Why is the plot empty?

If the plot is empty, it is probably because of one of two things.

First, it could be that you have no data yet. Start entering data into the data cards.

Second, the plot could be empty because you have more than one collection (stack of data cards) open in the document. The program doesn't know which data you want to plot.

To connect an empty plot to the correct set of data cards or case table,

1.

Locate the stack of data cards or case table that you want to plot.

2.

Drag the name of the collection, located in the tab at the upper-left corner of the data cards or case table, into the empty plot. The whole plot window will highlight.

3.

Release. The cases from the collection will appear in the plot as circle icons.
