Working with scatterplots

You can create, format, print, and/or remove scatterplots in BoundarySeer.

Creating a scatterplot

  1. Choose "Scatterplot" from the "Data" menu, found at the top of the BoundarySeer window, or found by right-clicking on a data set in the project window.

  2. Choose the data set, the x, and the y variables from the pull-down boxes on the dialog. Hit "OK" to view the plot.

Formatting a scatterplot

Axes

You may change the scaling on the axes by setting the minimum and maximum value shown as well as the number of tick marks for the x and y axes of the scatterplot.

Points

You may also change the color and size of the points. BoundarySeer will display an example of the new point format for your inspection. To accept the choice and return to the chart, click "OK."

Printing

You can print a scatterplot when it is the active window. Click on the window to activate it. Then, go to the toolbar and choose the print button print.gif, or from the menus, File > Print.

Removing a scatterplot

If you want to remove a scatterplot from a project, click on the "close" icon close.jpg in the upper right corner. This permanently removes the scatterplot. If you remove a scatterplot accidentally, you may re-create it (assuming you haven't also removed other important files such as data or boundary layers).
