The settings for the first three series plot types are handled by the same dialog box.
The radio buttons in this dialog box are used to select the chart type. Available options are:
窶｢ Single plot
窶｢ Double plot
窶｢ Mean ﾂｱ st.dev.
窶｢ Fractiles
窶｢ Contingency
The 窶彜ingle plot窶 option is used when only one statistic, e.g., the mean value, is plotted for each selected data node. The statistic to plot is controlled by the 窶1. plot窶 popup menu.
The 窶廛ouble plot窶 option is used when two statistics, e.g., the mean value and base value, are plotted together for each selected data node. The two statistics to plot are controlled by the 窶1. plot窶 and the 窶2. plot窶 popup menus.
The 窶廴ean ﾂｱ st.dev.窶 option is used to make diagrams where the mean value, the mean value minus the standard deviation and the mean value plus the standard deviation are all plotted together.
The 窶廡ractiles窶 option is used to make diagrams where the three fractiles in the currently selected fractile set are all plotted together.
Finally the 窶廚ontingency窶 option is used to make diagrams where the three contingency levels, calculated according to the currently selected contingency settings, are all plotted together.
The 窶1. plot窶 popup menu is used to select the statistics plotted in single plots. This menu is also used to select the first of the two statistics plotted in double plots. Available statistics are:
窶｢ Base
窶｢ Mean
窶｢ St.dev.
窶｢ Min
窶｢ Max
窶｢ Inp.mean
窶｢ Loc.mean
窶｢ Inp.base
窶｢ Loc.base
窶｢ Slope
窶｢ Interc.
窶｢ Covar.
窶｢ Correl.
窶｢ Cr.mean
窶｢ Cr.var.
窶｢ Sn.mean
窶｢ Sn.var.
窶｢ Lo.fract.
窶｢ Md.fract.
窶｢ Hi.fract.
窶｢ Lo.cont.
窶｢ Md.cont.
窶｢ Hi.cont.
The 窶2. plot窶 popup menu is used to select the second of the two statistics plotted in double plots. If the chart type is not 窶廛ouble plot窶, then this menu is neglected when the plot is made. Available statistics are the same as for the 窶廡irst plot窶 popup menu.
The 窶彁ero oriented窶 checkbox is used to control the procedure used to construct the plot.
A zero oriented line chart is one where the scale on the value axis is chosen such that zero is always included. Otherwise the value axis may or may not include zero depending on the plotted data.
In a zero oriented bar or column chart all bars or columns start at zero. If a bar or column chart is not zero oriented, the way it is constructed depends on the chart type. In a single plot the bars or columns start at a suitable location depending on the plotted data. In a double plot there is one bar or column for each selected data node describing the range between the values of the two chosen statistics. In the remaining chart types there is one split bar or columns for each selected data node describing the ranges between the three statistics.
