How to make boxplots with dot overlay in SPSS using the dialogue-functions?

  • 1.  How to make boxplots with dot overlay in SPSS using the dialogue-functions?

    Hello,

    I was wondering if there is a simple way (using the legacy dialogs) to make scatter dot overlay on the boxplots ? Or is it only possible to do it with syntax, and therefore easier to use graphpad prism for this type of graphs?

    I am not sure quite what you want this to look like, but it is pretty easy to do it with the ChartBuilder. Here are the steps

    1. Select a boxplot and configure the x and y variables.
    2. Paste the syntax
    3. Return to the ChartBuilder and change the chart type to dotplot (in the scatter section)
    4. Paste this syntax
    5. Copy the ELEMENT statement at the end of the dotplot code and paste it after the ELEMENT statement in the boxplot code.
    6. Select the GGRAPH through BEGIN/END GPL code and run it via the Run menu or the triangle on the toolbar.
