Hiding the title of Legend in charts

[behnaz shirazi-2]

Hello dear all,

I wonder is there any way to hide the lable of legend in GRAPH !
I am using this command:
GRAPH   /BAR=PCT BY sex BY distinct.

I don't want to hide the whole legend just I don't want to see the distinct
name as a title in my legend.


Thank you
Behnaz

HI Folks

I'm trying to create a graph that looks very much like a traditional box and whiskers graph, except that I'm showing mean values of 5 different variables as opposed to the traditional range measures of one variable.
Does anybody have any experience either with SPSS or another graphics package in creating such a graph?=20

Thanks

The only way to suppress the legend title using the GRAPH command is to give
the legend variable a null variable label.

If you use the GPL to create the chart, by default, there is no legend
label, just the legend category labels. If you use Chart Builder to generate
the GPL, edit the GPL and remove the appropriate GUIDE statement which will
look something like this:

  GUIDE: legend(aesthetic(aesthetic.color.interior),
label("your_clustering_variable_label"))

IGRAPH, GRAPH, and GGRAPH will create this chart.

Probably the easiest way is to use Graphs>Boxplots and pick the second radio
button on the gating dialog to request summaries of separate variables. This
will generate a GRAPH command.

To create this chart using IGRAPH (Graphs>Interactive>Boxplot), drag your
multiple summary variables to the y-axis. This will generate an IGRAPH
command.

You can't get there with Chart Builder but GPL will also support this chart
using separate ELEMENT statements.

Hi All,

I am a big fan of GPL, but the GPL is this case might seem
complicated. One of the best ways requires a "blend".

First this is a stripped down version of what you paste when you do a
one variable boxplot from chartbuilder. A boxplot of variable 'a'

* Chart Builder.
GGRAPH
  /GRAPHDATASET NAME="graphdataset" VARIABLES=a[LEVEL=SCALE] MISSING=
  LISTWISE REPORTMISSING=NO
  /GRAPHSPEC SOURCE=INLINE.
BEGIN GPL
 SOURCE: s=userSource(id("graphdataset"))
 DATA: a=col(source(s), name("a"))
 COORD: rect(dim(1), transpose())
 ELEMENT: schema(position(bin.quantile.letter(a)))
END GPL.

Here is the syntax that you would need to do 5 variables, a thru e.

* Chart Builder.
GGRAPH
  /GRAPHDATASET NAME="graphdataset" VARIABLES=a b c d e
MISSING=LISTWISE REPORTMISSING=NO
  /GRAPHSPEC SOURCE=INLINE.
BEGIN GPL
 SOURCE: s=userSource(id("graphdataset"))
 DATA: a=col(source(s), name("a"))
 DATA: b=col(source(s), name("b"))
 DATA: c=col(source(s), name("c"))
 DATA: d=col(source(s), name("d"))
 DATA: e=col(source(s), name("e"))
 ELEMENT: schema(position(bin.quantile.letter("a"*a+"b"*b+"c"*c+"d"*d+"e"*e)))
END GPL.

I hope this doesn't talk anyone out of GPL. It is usually simpler, and
everything, it seems, is moving in the GPL direction.

Presumably you were talking about the complexity of the algebra here but a
simpler way is to do the implicit blend with multiple element statements:

  ELEMENT: schema(position(bin.quantile.letter("a"*a)), label(id))
  ELEMENT: schema(position(bin.quantile.letter("b"*b)), label(id))
  ELEMENT: schema(position(bin.quantile.letter("c"*c)), label(id))
  ...
