Class Scatter Plots

Click the Home | New Graph | Class/Bubble | Class Scatter Plot command to create a class scatter plot. A class scatter plot is a scatter plot with symbols for each XY location based on a required third value (Class column). Class scatter plots group data into discrete classes (bins). The data points are displayed using the symbol assigned to the class. Class scatter plots include a legend by default.
