Chart builder

Dear all:

I am new with spss and I wonder if I want to have 2 Legend variable in chart
builder what should I do?
As far as I played with IGRPH it's quit possible but I couldn't manage it
with chart builder and as I trying to keep consistency I prefer to have all
charts with chart builder?

Any suggestion

Thank you
Behnaz Shirazi

Hi Behnaz
Here an example using the 'employee data.sav' file.
The critical point is to use 'color(gender)' in the line that starts with
the ELEMENT statement.
Sometimes you might want to avoid the legend. Then you could for example
replace the line
GUIDE: legend(aesthetic(aesthetic.color.interior), label("Gender"))
with
GUIDE: legend(aesthetic(aesthetic.color), null())
That keeps the two colors for male and female in the bars, but omits the
legend.

In the help files on your SPSS-cd you should find the GPL Reference Guide
(GPL Reference Guide.pdf) with many examples for coding charts with GPL.

Hope that helps

Christian

Re: AW: Chart builder

HI Christian
Thank you so much for your reply .Just before I go through the test can I
ask you a question?

Is this for 2 Legend ? I mean I don't have any problem to have gender
variable as "Legend" .In fact
I have another categorical variable named "distinct"
(Province,Region,Agency) which I want it as my second legend.
With IGRAPH it is possoble becasue I can have one legend based on color and
another one based on style.But I didn't find something like this in chart
builder.

Thank you
Behnaz

Hi Behnaz
there is an example in the GPL Reference Guide (if I understand you
correctly).
Again with the 'employee data.sav' file the syntax goes as follows:

Hope that helps
Christian

GGRAPH
/GRAPHDATASET NAME="graphdataset" VARIABLES= minority salary jobcat
gender MISSING=LISTWISE REPORTMISSING=NO
/GRAPHSPEC SOURCE=INLINE.
BEGIN GPL
SOURCE: s=userSource(id("graphdataset"))
DATA: jobcat = col(source(s), name("jobcat"), unit.category())
DATA: gender = col(source(s), name("gender"), unit.category())
DATA: minority = col(source(s), name("minority"), unit.category())
DATA: salary = col(source(s), name("salary"))
COORD: rect(dim(1, 2), cluster(3, 0))
SCALE: linear(dim(2), include(0))
GUIDE: axis(dim(2), label("Sum Salary"))
GUIDE: axis(dim(3), label("Job Category"))
GUIDE: legend(aesthetic(aesthetic.color.interior), label("Gender"))
GUIDE: legend(aesthetic(aesthetic.texture.pattern.interior),
label("Minority Classification"))
ELEMENT: interval.stack(position(summary.sum(gender*salary*jobcat)),
color.exterior(color.black),
color.interior(gender), texture.pattern.interior(minority))
END GPL.
