Overall distribution with individual box plots

Neo — Thu, 04 May 2023 16:37:21 GMT

Can I plot the overall/global distribution of the data-set (unlike individual distribution as in example chart below) together with individual box plots as in the attached example? I do not need individual distributions on the right but a single global/combined distribution plot.

(The example show oneway analysis but I would like to use graph builder)

One option would be to create dummy column and fill it with one value like 1 (use nominal column)

other option is to disable grouping variable from the histogram

and then if you hide tick marks

@jthi

I think I will use the second option. How does one disable disable grouping variable (from the histogram)?

Check box on for Histogram's settings under Variables (on the left)

@jthi Is it possible to shrink the x-axis for the distribution plot frame independent of the box plot frame in your solution? The idea is to show the box plots more clearly (i.e. not squashed together).

In other words, would it be possible to reduce/rescale the height of the buildings in the distribution plot proportionally down without affecting the x-axis frame for the box plots?
