Re: simple line chart in spss 16

So what happened. What syntax was generated. Describe exactly the chart you
want and what your variables look like.

Re: simple line chart in spss 16

hi viann. my two variables are quantitative: age and payment rate. i just want to create a simple line chart that shows how the payment rate is at different ages. so i want age on the x axis and payment rate on the y axis. ok when i used chart builder, this is the syntax swhen i tried a line chart:
* Chart Builder.
GGRAPH
/GRAPHDATASET NAME="graphdataset" VARIABLES=age PPY_annual_percent MISSING=LISTWISE REPORTMISSING=NO
/GRAPHSPEC SOURCE=INLINE.
BEGIN GPL
SOURCE: s=userSource(id("graphdataset"))
DATA: age=col(source(s), name("age"))
DATA: PPY_annual_percent=col(source(s), name("PPY_annual_percent"))
GUIDE: axis(dim(1), label("age"))
GUIDE: axis(dim(2), label("PPY_annual_percent"))
ELEMENT: line(position(age*PPY_annual_percent), missing.wings())
END GPL.

Re: simple line chart in spss 16

What does your chart look like and what do your data look like? Do you have
any duplicate values for age? This will give you vertical lines within a
specific value of age if you do have duplicate values for age. You haven't
asked for any aggregation here like sum or mean if that is your intention.

Re: simple line chart in spss 16

thats it then, because i do have duplicate values for age. i guess ill just have to calculate the payment rate means for each age and then try graphing the line chart. thx.

Re: simple line chart in spss 16

If you look at the Chart Builder UI you can change the statistic from value
to sum. I suggest a quick read of the Help. Open Chart Builder and hit the
Help button. Go through the mini-tutorial.
