Item Description

You must select at least one pair of variables to display on the scatter graph. You can also display a second pair of variables on the same graph.

X-Axis Dropdown list of variables that can be displayed on the X-Axis of the scatter graph.
Y-Axis Dropdown list of variables that can be displayed on the Y-Axis of the scatter graph.

X-Axis Dropdown list of variables that can additionally be displayed on the X-Axis of the scatter graph, in another colour.
Y-Axis Dropdown list of variables that can additionally be displayed on the Y-Axis of the scatter graph, in another colour.
Additional lines

You can add additional gridlines to the scatter graph.

Horizontal lines Adds one or more horizontal lines.

The lines will be drawn at the positions on the axes corresponding to the values you enter into the adjacent boxes. For example, if you want horizontal lines to be drawn across from values 25 and 45 on the Y-Axis, you would enter 25;45 in the box. Note that if the generated graph does not include axes with these values, you will not see the lines.
