Categorized Pie Charts - Quick Tab

Graphical Analytic Techniques

Select the Quick tab of the Categorized Pie Charts Startup Panel to specify the variables and intervals to use for the charts. For more options, use the Advanced tab.

See also the Pies customization dialog box topic.

Variables

Click this button to display a variable selection dialog box, in which you can select the X and Y grouping variables, the dependent variable(s) to be displayed in the pie charts, and the grouping variable that will be used to categorize values of the dependent variable(s) in each small graph. If more than one dependent variable is selected, a sequence of graphs (one for each dependent variable) is produced using the same set of grouping variables. A list of the selected variables is displayed below the Variables button.

Note: the selected grouping variables do not have to be categorical variables (e.g., contain codes); you can use one of the methods of categorization to categorize continuous variables. The selection of grouping variables is not necessary if the categories are defined via the Multiple subsets method, available on the Advanced tab.

Graph type. Select either Pie Chart - Counts or Pie Chart - Values.

Intervals

Use the options in this group box  to choose the method of categorization of values for the pie chart [the categorized pie charts display the frequencies (i.e., counts, see Pie chart - Counts)]. Each of the methods is discussed in Method of Categorization. Additional methods of categorization are available on the Advanced tab.

Exploded Slice

Select this check box to explode a specified number of slices of the pie.
