Plot: Point Labels

Right-click on a graph point, and select Point Labels to display the Point Labels dialog box. You can also access these options via the Graph Options dialog box by selecting the Point Labels tab (located under Plot).

These options are used to place labels (either the coordinates of the points or text labels) over individual data points in the graph.

Plot
Although all of the options are the same for each plot, you can make changes to each plot independently of the other. Select here the plot to which you want to make changes. If you have several plots in one graph, you may want to assign names to each plot using the Name option on the General tab in the Graph Options dialog box.
Display point labels
If this check box is selected, point labels (shown in the spreadsheet) will be used in the currently specified plot. Note that each label displayed on the plot can be moved from its default position.
Font
Click this button to display the Font dialog box from which you can choose a different font (e.g., size, type, etc.) for the point labels.
Connecting line
When a label is moved from its default position, a connecting line is drawn between the point and its label. Click this button to display the Line Properties dialog box, in which you can specify various features of the connecting line.
Frame line
When a label is moved from its default position, a frame is placed around the text. Click this button to display the Line Properties dialog box, in which you can specify various features of the frame line.
Frame area
When a label is moved from its default position, the area around the label can be shaded. Click this button to display the Area Properties dialog box, in which you can specify various features of the frame area.
Properties
The options under Properties determine what point labels will be used and the number format that will be used for numeric labels. Note that different options will be displayed in the box according to the type of plot displayed.
Text labels
Select this check box to use strings of text for the point labels. By default, the strings of text used will be the numbered cases (e.g., Case 1, Case 2, . . .) in the plot. In the spreadsheet below these options, you can edit the text labels for the plot so that they are more meaningful. You can choose to show the text labels instead of the X and/or Y coordinates (select exclusively), or in addition to the X and/or Y coordinates (select in addition).
X, Y, Z coordinates; Weight
You can select to display the X coordinates, the Y coordinates, or the Z coordinates or all X Y and Z coordinates by selecting the appropriate check boxes; select the Weight check box to also use the values of the Case weights as labels for the points. See Spreadsheet Case Weights and Analysis/Graph Case Weights for further details. When displaying numbers, you can specify the value format using the Value Format button (see below).
Counts
Select the Counts check box to display counts for the point labels. You can specify the number format for the counts using the Counts format button (see below).
