Template Files in Chart Builder

[Atai Winkler]

Hi

I am using IBM Statistics v25 and have a problem wit the Chart Builder
function. I did not have this problem with earlier versions and so I would
be grateful if someone could help me – thank you in advance.

Below is the group scatter plot that is generated using the following syntax
(generated by Paste) and after a few small manual changes.


* Chart Builder.
  GGRAPH
  /GRAPHDATASET NAME="graphdataset" VARIABLES=failure_period pc_failure_mode
failure_mode_1
    MISSING=LISTWISE REPORTMISSING=NO
  /GRAPHSPEC SOURCE=INLINE
  /FITLINE TOTAL=NO SUBGROUP=NO.
BEGIN GPL
  SOURCE: s=userSource(id("graphdataset"))
  DATA: failure_period=col(source(s), name("failure_period"))
  DATA: pc_failure_mode=col(source(s), name("pc_failure_mode"))
  DATA: failure_mode_1=col(source(s), name("failure_mode_1"),
unit.category())
  GUIDE: axis(dim(1), label("Failure period (years)"))
  GUIDE: axis(dim(2), label("Percent failed assets"))
  GUIDE: legend(aesthetic(aesthetic.color.interior), label("Failure mode"))
  ELEMENT: point(position(failure_period*pc_failure_mode),
color.interior(failure_mode_1))
END GPL.

I want to change a few aspects of the graph. I have done this manually for a
number of identical graphs (they are the outputs of a simulation program).
The new version is

.

Once again, thank you.

Exactly what is your problem?
Have you altered several graphs with identical steps you really should read
about using Templates. Do your changes and then save your changes as a
template.

When you use Chart Editor: File>Save Chart Template... or File>Apply Chart
Template...

If you already have a template file it (actually multiple) can be selected
in the Chart Builder if you press the 'Option'-button. it adds a TEMPLATE
=[...] command to the ggraph syntax.
