GPL: how to change size of boxplots?

[la volta statistics]

Dear List

I would like to manipulate the size of box plots, that is, to thicken them.
I tried the size function but was not successful. Does anybody have an idea
how to do this without using the template command?

Here an example using the employee data.sav:

GGRAPH
  /GRAPHDATASET NAME="graphdataset" VARIABLES= 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: salary=col(source(s), name("salary"))
SCALE: cat(aesthetic(aesthetic.color.interior), map(("1",color.red),
("2",color.blue) ))
COORD: rect(dim(1,2), cluster(3))
GUIDE: legend(aesthetic(aesthetic.color), label("Gender"))
GUIDE: axis(dim(2), label("Salary"))
GUIDE: axis(dim(3), label("Job Category"))
ELEMENT: schema(position(bin.quantile.letter(gender*salary*jobcat)),
color(gender), size(size."30%"))
END GPL.

Thanks in advance, Christian

Do you want to make them wider? AFAIK, you can't control this with GPL and need to apply a saved chart template to do it. Since I can't send a file via the list serve, here is the text of one that works. The important part of this is the setStyle clustered subtype.

Copy it, save it as .sgt file and then reference it with the template subcommand. I know that somebody mail system will swallow up the XML and quarantine as being a security risk, so if you don't see this, send me a note and I'll zip it up to send.:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<template SPSS-Version="2.2" date="2007-05-16" description="" selectPath="21 " xmlns="http://xml.spss.com/spss/visualization" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://xml.spss.com/spss/visualization http://xml.spss.com/spss/visualization/vizml-template-3.0.xsd">
        <setStyle subtype="medianStyle" type="schema">
                <style color="#000000" stroke-linecap="butt" stroke-width="1.5pt" visible="true"/>
        </setStyle>
        <setStyle subtype="outlierStyle" type="schema">
                <style color="transparent" color2="#000000" size="5pt" symbol="circle" visible="true"/>
        </setStyle>
        <setStyle subtype="hingeStyle" type="schema">
                <style color="#d3ce97" color2="#000000" visible="true"/>
        </setStyle>
        <setStyle subtype="extremeStyle" type="schema">
                <style color="#000000" color2="#000000" size="5pt" symbol="flower" visible="true"/>
        </setStyle>
        <setStyle subtype="clustered" type="schema">
                <style color="#d3ce97" color2="#000000" fill-opacity="1.0" opacity="1.0" pattern="0" size="100%" stroke-width="0.75pt" symbol="ibeam" visible="true" width="85%"/>
        </setStyle>
</template>

I just sent an innocent message to the list and got nailed with 25 'Sorry
I'm out of the office' autoreplys.  Please, please, PLEASE unsubscriber
before you go on vacation this summer.

Sigh. Known hazard, not just in the summer. If you post more often, at
least you get fewer for each posting. I've got aggressive E-mail
filters that at least shunt most of them to a separate notebook I keep
for that purpose. ("Aggressive": I have *34* filters, for different
forms I've seen for that "out of office" messages. Bless anybody who
could define, and encourage use of, a standard to make such messages
unambiguously identifiable! At least, standard within each language.)

>Please, please, PLEASE unsubscribe before you go on vacation this

It's a good idea, but I suggest going NOMAIL, which is less drastic
than unsubscribing. You don't need to respond to a confirmation message
when you start mail again, and you retain subscriber's posting
privileges.

(SPSSX-L accepts postings from accounts that aren't subscribed. But, as
list administrator Jean Snow has just reminded us, such postings are
reviewed before they are sent to the list. That's a delay for you, and
a nuisance for the administrator.)

To go 'nomail', send E-mail to [hidden email] with (only)
the line

SET SPSSX-L NOMAIL

To restart, send a message to [hidden email] with the line
(surprise!)

SET SPSSX-L MAIL

Finally, you can get the file documenting these commands (and many
more) by sending [hidden email] a message with the line

INFO REFCARD

Happy listing to all!
