Settings in the Scatter Preferences dialog determine which scatter chart view is displayed and set the criteria for plotting all or a portion of trials actually run. Additional settings in the Chart Preferences dialog determine the appearance of the chart.
To set scatter chart preferences:
In the scatter chart window, choose Preferences, then Chart.
On the General tab, you can set the following features, described in the sections in parentheses:
Chart title (Adding and Formatting Chart Titles)
Gridlines (Showing Grid Lines)
Legend (Showing the Chart Legend)
Chart effects (Setting Special Chart Effects)
Except for the disabled Chart Bins and 3D Chart preferences, the General tab settings are the same as those for forecast charts.
For descriptions of each setting while you are viewing the dialog, click Help.
You can use the Chart Type drop-down list to choose whether to:
Draw points, and if selected, to choose a symbol, color, and size for them.
Draw a line, and if selected, to choose a line type, color and size. The Ordered Fit line type shows where pairwise points would be displayed if they were sorted in ascending order. The Linear Regression line type uses a least-squares technique to show the linear relationship of the points.
Display correlation coefficients for each plot. These are computed using the Spearman rank correlation method.
Display points that have been filtered out (see the next section, Scatter Charts and Filtered Data).
You can use the Axis tab to choose a number format for the chart axes and to indicate whether to round axis values, as described in Customizing Chart Axes and Axis Labels.
Optional step: You can choose Defaults at any time to restore all settings to their original default values.
Optional step: To apply the settings to more than one chart, click Apply To. Then, specify how they should be applied (see Applying Settings to the Current Chart and Other Charts for details) and click OK. Otherwise, go to step 7.
Click OK to apply the settings on all tabs to the active chart.
