Two charts in one diagram?
Locked
 
|
I plan to submit a comment to a magazine where the Discussions corner accepts one chart only. I have got two variables though, and it would be very neat to set up one single chart with two separate dotplots for these separate variables. Stacking them row-wise or using two columns does not matter, the only thing needed is to let the dot plots use two separate x axes. I guess combining two charts could be done with a bit of photoshopping, but there could also be way to achieve it within SPSS. Any suggestions?

You can do this with GPL by using its GRAPH
statement. Here is an example using the employee data.sav file shipped
with Statistics. The tricky part is figuring out how to lay out the
charts so that everything fits. I have also specified the size of
the combined charts - here 5 inches wide and 4 inches high.
GGRAPH /GRAPHDATASET NAME="graphdataset" VARIABLES= jobcat educ /GRAPHSPEC SOURCE=INLINE. BEGIN GPL SOURCE: s=userSource(id("graphdataset") ) PAGE: begin(scale(5.0in, 4.0in)) DATA: jobcat = col(source(s), name("jobcat"), unit.category() ) GRAPH: begin(origin(15.0%, 0%), scale(42.5%, 75%)) GUIDE: axis(dim(1), label("Job Category") ) ELEMENT: point.dodge.asymmetric(position(bin.dot(jobcat))) GRAPH: end() GRAPH: begin(origin(57.5%, 0%), scale(42.5%, 75%)) DATA: educ = col(source(s), name("educ") , unit.category()) GUIDE: axis(dim(1), label("Education") ) ELEMENT: point.dodge.asymmetric(position(bin.dot(educ))) GRAPH: end() PAGE: end() END GPL. BTW, I generated this using the STATS REGRESS PLOT extension command currently being offered as a promotion to early adopters of Statistics 20 and switched the ELEMENT statements to use dot plots instead of scatters.

Hello, You could also use ggplot in R: http://had.co.nz/ggplot2/geom_point.html http://had.co.nz/ggplot2/facet_grid.html Cheers!!

You can also do this using graph algebra in one chart. No positioning stuff required: GGRAPH /GRAPHDATASET NAME="graphdataset" VARIABLES=jobcat educ MISSING=LISTWISE REPORTMISSING=NO /GRAPHSPEC SOURCE=INLINE. BEGIN GPL SOURCE: s=userSource(id("graphdataset")) DATA: jobcat=col(source(s), name("jobcat"), unit.category()) DATA: educ=col(source(s), name("educ"), unit.category()) COORD: rect(dim(1)) ELEMENT: point.dodge.asymmetric(position(bin.dot((jobcat/"Job Category") + (educ/"Education Level")))) END GPL.

I meant something like this: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/155/graphgl.png/ You can use this R code: df <- data.frame(fac=round(runif(1000)), v1=abs(rnorm(1000)), v2=qnorm(runif(1000), 1000, 1000)) require(ggplot2) df$fac <- ifelse(df$fac==0, "group 1", "group 2") ggplot(df, aes(v1, v2)) + geom_point(aes(colour = fac)) + facet_grid(. ~ fac) + opts(title="Some graph\n") ggsave(filename=file.path(Sys.getenv()[["TEMP"]], "mygraph.png"), scale=2) Pretty neat innit? Cheers!!

Easily done with GPL without having to resort to R. From: SPSSX(r) Discussion [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of Albert-Jan Roskam I meant something like this: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/155/graphgl.png/ You can use this R code: df <- data.frame(fac=round(runif(1000)), v1=abs(rnorm(1000)), v2=qnorm(runif(1000), 1000, 1000)) Cheers!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ From: Robert Lundqvist <[hidden email]> |
