I can't speak to the chart editor here, but GPL syntax will overlay the
scatterplot directly without having to edit it in the chart editor. Here's
an example using the Employee Data.sav sample file:
GGRAPH
/GRAPHDATASET NAME="graphdataset" VARIABLES=educ salbegin
MISSING=LISTWISE REPORTMISSING=NO
/GRAPHSPEC SOURCE=INLINE.
BEGIN GPL
SOURCE: s=userSource(id("graphdataset"))
DATA: educ=col(source(s), name("educ"), unit.category())
DATA: salbegin=col(source(s), name("salbegin"))
GUIDE: axis(dim(1), label("Education"))
GUIDE: axis(dim(2), label("Mean Beginning Salary"))
GUIDE: text.footnote(label("Error Bars: 95% CI"))
SCALE: cat(dim(1), include("0", "1"))
SCALE: linear(dim(2), include(0))
ELEMENT: point(position(educ*salbegin),size(size."2px"))
ELEMENT: interval(position(region.confi.mean(educ*salbegin)),
shape(shape.ibeam))
ELEMENT: point(position(summary.mean(educ*salbegin)), color(color.red))
END GPL.
The first element plots the scatterplot and the size function makes the
points tiny.
The second element provides the I-beam for the top and bottom of the
confidence interval.
The third element puts the mean position on the I-Beam. I made it red to
distinguish it from an individual point.
Note that although educ is really a scale variable here, I treated it as
categorical to equally space out the clouds. I also suspect that your error
bars have a categorical x axis so that you can more easily cut and paste
from this example.

Subject: interactive chart in SPSS 16
Dear all,
I used to make interactive charts that combined for instance error bars with
the scatterplot of the same variables in SPSS 15.0. Using INSERT at the top
of the window I could add the individual scatters to a error bar or boxplot
etc. In SPSS 16.0 when working in interactive charts this option is missing!
Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
Thanks, Monique van Dijk
