Workspace Node: Graphs - Options 1 Tab

In a graph workspace node, select the Options 1 tab to access options to set up the display of Titles, Footnotes, and the Axes. Many of the options on this tab and the Options 2 tab can also be set globally on the Documents/Graphs: Settings tab of the Options dialog box. Note that global options will be over-ridden by options specified on any individual specification dialog box as long as the definition dialog box is in use.

Element Name Description
Title The options in the Title group box affect the display of graph titles.
Display default title Select this check box to display the default graph title that will contain the type of graph and the data file name used in creating it. Statistica Graph default titles are always displayed at the top of the graph. If you clear this check box and do not enter a Custom title (see below), created graphs will not have titles (other than axis titles).
Custom title To include a custom title, enter the title in the Custom title box. You can add custom titles to the top, to the right, or to the left of the plot by selecting the appropriate option (Show on top, Show on right, or Show on left, respectively) from the title drop-down box. (You can also select Off to not include the custom title in the graph.) You can specify up to three custom titles using the options in this box. Additional editing facilities are also available after the graph has been created. Note that if you prefer to show only the custom title, clear the Display default title check box.
Footnote To display a custom footnote, enter the text for the footnote in the box provided.
Display footnote Select the Display footnote check box to display the custom footnote that you have entered in the Footnote box. Clear this check box to remove the custom footnote from the graph.
Display options These options affect the display of specific components of Statistica Graphs. Case labels do not display in histograms.
Case labels Use the Case labels box to specify what values will be used to label individual points on the graph. Choose either case names as case labels (select Case Names), the selected variable's values as case labels (select Variable and then specify the variable name by clicking the Variable button), or use the spreadsheet label property (when Spreadsheet is selected, the program looks for the variable that has "label" set, and uses the contents of that variable for the case labels). These labels will, for example, be used in 2D or 3D scatterplots to label the individual points.
Variable When choosing to use a variable for Case labels, click the Variable button to display a variable selection dialog box, where you can select the variable to use for Case labels.
Display case labels Select this check box to display the case labels in the graph. If you don't want to display case labels, clear this check box.
Display text labels (or dates) as axes values Select this check box to use text (or dates) category labels on the graph axes. For example, in 2D scatterplots, if one of the variables in the scatterplot contains text values or dates, the respective axis will be labeled with those text values or dates. When this check box is cleared, the equivalent numeric values (or Julian date value) will be used to label the respective axes.
Scaling Use the options in this group box to select the desired X, Y, Z, or V coordinate display in the graph. These options are not available for 3D graphs.
Axis Select the axis (X, Y, Z, or V) that you want to display according to the specific type of coordinate.
Type Select a Linear, Logarithmic, Logit, Probability, or Weibull scale type for the specified Axis.
Linear When this (default) option is selected, the scale is untransformed, and the values are plotted along the respective axis in the standard manner.
Logarithmic
When this option is selected, the linear (and equally spaced) scale values for the respective axis are log (base-e; i.e., natural log) transformed. Hence, only positive values can be plotted along the respective axis (since the log of a negative number is not defined).
Probability When this option is selected, the respective axis will be probit (normal probability) scaled; specifically, if you were to create a scatterplot for a variable with values ranging from minus infinity to plus infinity (plotted on the Linear x-axis), apply the inverse probit transformation (i.e., computed the respective values for the normal probability integral), and plot the resulting probability values (0<p<1) on the Probability scaled y-axis, the points in the scatterplot would form a straight line.
Logit When this option is selected, the respective axis will be logit-scaled; specifically, if you were to create a scatterplot for a variable with values ranging from minus infinity to plus infinity (plotted on the Linear x-axis), applied the inverse logit transformation, and plotted the resulting probability values (0<p<1) on the Logit scaled y-axis, then the points in the scatterplot would form a straight line.
Weibull When this option is selected, the respective axis will be scaled so that it is suitable for Weibull probability plotting; specifically, the values on the axis will be transformed to ln[ln(1/(1-x))], where ln refers to the natural log. Weibull probability plotting is also discussed in detail in Weibull and Reliability/Failure Time Analysis - Introductory Overview.
