Data points from
x
and
y
are plotted as coordinate pairs. Therefore,
the columns or lists that you specify for
x
and
y
must be the same
length.
¦
Plotted points are shown
with the symbol that you
select as the
Mark
.
¦ If necessary, you can specify
the same column or list for
both
x
and
y
.
This is a scatter plot in which
data points are plotted and
connected in the order in which
they appear in
x
and
y
.
You may want to sort all the
columns in the Data/Matrix
Editor before plotting.

This plots one-variable data with respect to the minimum and
maximum data points (
minX
and
maxX
) in the set.
¦ A box is defined by its first
quartile (
Q1
), median (
Med
),
and third quartile (
Q3
).
¦ Whiskers extend from
minX
to
Q1
and from
Q3
to
maxX
.
¦ When you select multiple box
plots, they are plotted one
above the other in the same
order as their plot numbers.
¦ Use
NewPlot
to show statistical data as a modified box plot.
¦ Select
Mod Box Plot
as the
Plot Type
when you define a plot in the
Data/Matrix Editor.
A modified box plot excludes points outside the interval
[
Q1
ì
X, Q3+X
], where
X
is defined as
1.5 (Q3
ì
Q1)
. These points,
called outliers, are plotted individually beyond the box plot’s
whiskers, using the mark that you select.
Statistical Plot Types
When you define a plot as described in the previous section,
the
Plot Setup
screen lets you select the plot type. This section
gives more information about the available plot types.
