Creating Summary Charts<br />

Using the Chart Platform<br />

The Chart platform on the Graph menu charts continuous variables versus categorical variables. The<br />

continuous variables are summarized for each categorical level. Chart supports several chart types, such as<br />

bar charts, pie charts, <strong>and</strong> line charts. Chart is similar to the Tables > Summary comm<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> is useful for<br />

making graphical representations of summary statistics.<br />

If you want to make a plot of individual data points (rather than summaries of data points), we recommend<br />

using the Overlay Plot platform. See the “Creating Overlay Plots” chapter on page 337 for details about<br />

overlay plots.<br />
