Workspace Node: Categorized 3D Ternary Plots - Quick Tab

The Categorized 3D Ternary Plots workspace node can be accessed from either the ribbon bar or the Node Browser.

The Quick tab of the specifications dialog box is displayed by default when you double-click the node.

Element Name Description
Layout Select the type of layout for the graph(s).
Separate Select this option button to produce a Separate plot layout (where each subset of cases is displayed in a separate graph) for the categorized plots.
Overlaid Select this option button to produce an Overlaid plot layout (where all subsets are overlaid in one graph and identified by patterns and colors) for the categorized plots.
Graph types Select the type of graph to be plotted.

Click the desired plot link below for a brief description of that type of graph. More graph types are available on the Advanced tab and the **Appearance tab.

Variables Click the Variables button to display a standard variable selection dialog box, in which you can select the variable(s) to be plotted and the grouping variable to be categorized for the graph.
Note: the selected grouping variable does not have to be a categorical variable (for example, contain codes). You can use one of the Methods of Categorization options to categorize a continuous variable. (The grouping variable is not necessary if the categories are defined via the Multiple Subset method; see the Advanced tab.)
Intervals These options are used to specify a method of categorization of the values for the selected grouping variable.

Each of the methods is discussed in Method of Categorization. Note that the categories available on the Quick tab are: Integer mode, Unique Values mode, Categories, and Codes. More categories are available on the Advanced tab.

Options The Options button menu is available regardless of which tab is selected.
Restore to factory default Select this command to restore all the options in the Descriptive Statistics dialog box to the original default settings.
Set current as default Select this command to save all the current option settings in the Descriptive Statistics dialog box as default.
Create Macro Select this command to create a macro of the analysis.
C Click the C (select cases) button to display the Spreadsheet Case Selection Conditions dialog box - Selections tab, which contains options to create conditions for which cases will be included (or excluded) in the current analysis.

More information is available in the Case Selection Conditions Overview, Syntax Summary, and Spreadsheet Case Selection Conditions dialog box - Selections tab topic.

W Click the W (weight) button to display the Analysis/Graph Case Weights dialog box, which contains options to adjust the contribution of individual cases to the outcome of the current analysis by weighting those cases in proportion to the values of a selected variable.
OK Click the OK button to accept all the specifications made in the dialog box and to close it.

The results will be placed in the Reporting Documents node after running (updating) the project.
