Sequential/Stacked Plots

Graphical Analytic Techniques

Select Sequential/Stacked from the Graphs - 2D Graphs menu to display the Sequential/Stacked Plots dialog. These types of graphs are used to present sequences of values of selected variables. The stacked feature of this type of graph is specifically designed to represent the broad category of data sets in which consecutive variables represent parts ("portions") of one whole. This dialog contains five tabs: Quick, Advanced, Appearance, Options 1, and Options 2.

Graph Gallery. Click the Graph Gallery button to display the STATISTICA Graphs Gallery dialog. Use the Graphs Gallery to easily switch among different types of graphs.

Select Cases. Click the Select Cases button to display the Analysis/Graph Case Selection Conditions dialog, which is used to create conditions for which cases will be included (or excluded) in the current analysis. More information is available in the case selection conditions overview, syntax summary, and dialog description.

Weight. Click the Weight button to display the Analysis/Graph Case Weights dialog, which is used to adjust the contribution of individual cases to the outcome of the current analysis by "weighting" those cases in proportion to the values of a selected variable.

Options. Click the Options button to display the following menu commands:

Output. Select Output to display the Analysis/Graph Output Manager dialog, which is used to customize the current graph output management of STATISTICA.

Display. Select Display to display the Analysis/Graph Display Options dialog, which is used to customize the current graph display of STATISTICA.

Create Macro. Select Create Macro to display the New Macro dialog. When making graphs in STATISTICA, all options and output choices are automatically recorded; when you click Create Macro, the complete recording of all your actions will be translated into a STATISTICA Visual Basic program that can be run to recreate the analysis. See Macro (STATISTICA Visual Basic) Overview for further details.

Close Analysis. Select Close Analysis to close all dialogs associated with the graph. Note that results spreadsheets/graphs will not be closed, only graph dialogs will close.

By Group. Click the By Group button to display the By Group specification dialog.

OK. Click the OK button to produce the selected graph.

Cancel. Click the Cancel button to close this dialog without creating a graph.
