Scatter Plots of Selected Variables

If one or more variables are selected in a data table when you select Graph Scatter Plot, then the scatter plot dialog box (Figure 6.7) does not appear. Instead, a scatter plot matrix is created showing each pair of the selected variables (Figure 6.10).

If you create a matrix of plots from selected variables, you can close the matrix by pressing the F11 key while any plot is active and selecting from the pop-up menu. Alternatively, you can use the Workspace Explorer (see the section "Workspace Explorer") to quickly close plots.

Variables with a Frequency or Weight role are ignored when you are creating scatter plots.
