Exploring Data in Two Dimensions


Mosaic Plots of Selected Variables

If one or more nominal variables are selected in a data table when you select Graph →Mosaic Plot, then the Mosaic Plot dialog box does not appear. Instead mosaic plots are created for each pair of the selected nominal variables.

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.)

If a variable in the data table has a Frequency role, it is automatically used as the frequency variable for the plots; the frequency variable should not be one of the selected variables.

Variables with a Weight role are ignored when you are creating mosaic plots.
