If one or more interval variables are selected in a data table when you select →, then the Box Plot dialog box does not appear. Instead box plots are created for each selected interval variable.
You can also select nominal and interval variables and select →. A box plot appears for each interval variable; nominal variables are assigned to the X axis.
If a variable has a Frequency role, it is automatically used as the frequency variable for the plots; the frequency variable does not need to be selected.
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 to quickly close plots. (See the section Workspace Explorer.)
