Add Reference Lines
To add references lines to graphs, proceed as follows:
1. Double-click a numeric axis. Or, right-click a numeric axis and select Axis Settings. The Axis
Specification window appears.
2. In the text box to the left of the Add button, type the value to which you want the reference line to
correspond. This is the position on the graph at which the line is placed.
3. Further customize the reference line by choosing either of these options:
Table 9.10 Reference Line Actions
Action
Give the line a color
Use a stippled line
Instructions
Click the Color bar and select a color.
Click the line next to Line Style and select one of the line types.
4. Click the Add button. The value moves into the box to the right of the Add button, indicating that it
will be placed on the graph.
5. To add more lines, repeat the above steps.
To set a default reference line for a variable, which avoids making this change every time you run an analysis,
see “Axis” on page 155 in the “Set Column Properties” chapter.
Add Geographical Images and Boundaries
Adding map images and political boundaries to graphs provides visual context to geospatial data. For
example, you can add a map to the graph that displays an image of the U.S. Another option is displaying the
boundaries for each state (when data includes the latitudes and longitudes for the U.S.).
