MosaicPlot.SetTwoWay

Prototypes

void SetTwoWay( <boolean bTwoWay> )

Parameters

boolean bTwoWay
If bTwoWay is true, the plot is configured as a two-way mosaic plot. If bTwoWay is false, the plot is configured as an N-way mosaic plot. Calling this method without a parameter is equivalent to calling it with bTwoWay equal to true.

Remarks

This method configures the plot as either a two-way or an N-way mosaic plot. By default, mosaic plots are created as N-way plots.

A two-way mosaic plot is a plot of two variables. The variable for the horizontal axis is created by enumerating all permutations of the values of the X variables.

An N-way mosaic plot is defined recursively as follows: A plot is created using the Y axis variable and the first X variable. Then, each category of the first X variable is subdivided using values of the second X variable. This process repeats for all remaining X variables.

Example

vehicles = { "car"   "new" "blue",
             "car"   "new" "red",
             "car"   "new" "red",
             "car"   "old" "blue",
             "car"   "old" "blue",
             "car"   "old" "blue",
             "car"   "old" "red",
             "truck" "new" "blue",
             "truck" "new" "red",
             "truck" "old" "blue",
             "truck" "old" "red",
             "truck" "old" "red" };
declare DataObject dobj = DataObject.Create( "Vehicles" );
dobj.AddVars( {"vehicle" "age" "color"}, vehicles );
declare MosaicPlot plot;
plot = MosaicPlot.Create( dobj, {"age", "color"}, "vehicle", false );
plot.SetTwoWay();
plot.ShowWindow();
