Chart Builder

Hi all

I wander if any body can help me on the syntax for the Chart Builder.

I have a scatter graph with observations from five distinct values of a third variable (so that there is one set of points for each value of this variable). I have used a template file in the syntax file to define the axes and so now I would like to enhance the template file or syntax file to specify the shape, fill, colour and size of the points. All the points are to have the same shape, fill and size, and the points are to differ by colour, a different colour for each of the value of the third variable.

The syntax is:

GGRAPH

/GRAPHDATASET NAME="graphdataset" VARIABLES=pcent_proact_non_term_events total_maint_cost

risk_tolerance MISSING=LISTWISE REPORTMISSING=NO

/GRAPHSPEC SOURCE=INLINE

TEMPLATE='graph_template\simulation graphs template.sgt'.

BEGIN GPL

SOURCE: s=userSource(id("graphdataset"))

DATA: pcent_proact_non_term_events=col(source(s), name("pcent_proact_non_term_events"))

DATA: total_maint_cost=col(source(s), name("total_maint_cost"))

DATA: risk_tolerance=col(source(s), name("risk_tolerance"), unit.category())

GUIDE: axis(dim(1), label("Percent proactive interventions"))

GUIDE: axis(dim(2), label("Maintenance cost (£ million)"))

GUIDE: legend(aesthetic(aesthetic.color.exterior), label("Risk tolerance"))

ELEMENT: point(position(pcent_proact_non_term_events*total_maint_cost),

color.exterior(risk_tolerance))

END GPL.

Thank you

Atai

Re: Chart Builder

From GUI, if you go to Chart Builder -- >Scatter Dot --> Grouped Scatter --> input your third variable (the one with 5 categories/distinctive values, if I have understood correctly) in the "Set color" box that should then give you an x by y scatter plot with points distinguished differently for the groupings of your third variable.

Re: Chart Builder

Thank you Jignesh.

Yes, you have understood me correctly and I have done what you suggest. My question related to the syntax to change the way the third variable is presented (I have many such graphs and so the syntax would be very useful).
