...to plot the values of the currently highlighted variable against the values of another variable. The scatterplot visualizes a relation between two variables X and Y (e.g., weight and height). Individual data points are represented in two-dimensional space, where axes represent the variables. The two coordinates (X and Y) that determine the location of each point correspond to its specific values on the two variables. (See also, Categorized Scatterplots.)

When you select this command, you will be able to choose between a standard scatterplot (Regular) or a scatterplot with a linear or polynomial regression line fitted to the data (by default with a 95% confidence interval). You can also choose to include histograms or box plots with the regular scatterplot. Once you have made your selection, the Select Variable dialog box will be displayed, from which you can select the variable to be plotted against the highlighted variable.  

The five types of plots are listed below.

 Regression, 95% Confidence Interval

 Polynomial, 95% Confidence Interval

 Regular

 with Histograms

 with Box Plots
