Example Using Graph Builder
Choose from the following element types:
The Points element shows data values.
The Smoother element shows a smooth curve through the data. The smoother is a cubic
spline with a lambda of 0.05 and standardized X values. See “Using the Smoother” on
page 277.
The Line of Fit element shows a linear regression with confidence intervals.
The Ellipse element shows a bivariate normal density ellipse.
The Contour element shows regions of density or value contours. If you specify only one
continuous variable for X or Y, a violin plot appears instead of a contour plot.
The Line element shows a response summarized by categories.
The Bar element shows a response summarized by categories.
The Area element shows a response summarized by categories.
The Box Plot element shows a compact view of a variable’s distribution, with quartiles and
outliers.
The Histogram element shows a variable’s distribution using binning. If you specify the same
variable for X and Y, then the Y role is ignored and a single histogram appears.
The Heatmap element shows counts using color for X and Y categories.
The Pie element shows portions of a whole.
The Treemap element shows a response summarized by categories.
The Mosaic element shows counts using size for X and Y categories.
The Caption Box element shows a summary statistic value for the data.
The Formula element shows a function defined by a column formula.
The Map Shapes element creates a map on the graph.
Buttons
When applicable, properties for each element appear and can be adjusted in the Graph Builder window. For
more information, see “Right-Click Menu for a Graph” on page 267.
There are three buttons on the Graph Builder window:
• Undo reverses the last change made to the window.
• Start Over returns the window to the default condition, removing all data and graph elements from the
window, and all variables from the drop zones.
