Dialog box 142
category axis has labels (e.g., names of athletes) or numeric values which are not
necessarily scaled (e.g., numeric codes for different sports). Scatter plots and
histograms do not have a category axis. Select scale axis in Dialog box 142 and
click OK.
If you want the scale axis to be displayed in the chart, click Display axis line
at the top of Dialog box 143. In the same dialog box you can specify the title of
the axis and the justification of its text. Usually, SPSS shows the minimum and
maximum values of the data in the scale axis. However, if you want to display a
different data range, type the new minimum and maximum values in the
Displayed boxes. You can also alter the major increments and minor increments
of the data. Major increments determine the intervals of the axis (e.g., 0.5, 1, 1.5,
2, etc.) and should be given a number which splits the data range evenly. Minor
increments determine the intervals within one major increment (e.g., 1.1, 1.2,
1.3, 1.4, 1.5) and, similarly, should be given a number which splits the data
range evenly.
