About Scatter Plot Matrices

You can create a multi-cell graph that has a scatter plot matrix layout. Here is an example of a scatter plot matrix:

Here are the characteristics of scatter plot matrices:
  • The matrix is a data-driven graph based on matrix variables.
  • The diagonal cells can be populated with a histogram and up to two density plots.
  • The non-diagonal cells contain a scatter plot for the crossing variables with an optional mean or prediction ellipse.
  • You can change the properties of a scatter plot matrix as follows:
    • You cannot change the properties of the histograms, density plots, and ellipses.
    • You can change the marker properties for the scatter plots. When you change the marker properties, the change is applied to all non-diagonal cells.
    • You can change the transparency of all plots.
    • You can change the outline and background properties of the graph.
