Françoise

Good morning,

I have a graph with points and ellipses;

I selected 2 variables but I cannot clearly see the 2 ellipses corresponding to the selected points.

can this get better?

Sincerely undefined

Re: graph with ellipse

Hello @Francoise ,

 

Since the points that interest you are selected, you can return to your data table, right-click on the column on the far left containing the line numbers and "Invert the selection", so that the points not interesting for you are selected.

From there, by right-clicking (with the uninteresting points selected) in the same place as before on the data table, you can "Exclude" or "Hide and Exclude" these points. Thus on your graph, you will only see the corresponding ellipses at the points of interest.

 

If your points belong to the same group / identifier or if you have ranges of values for these points, you can also directly on the graph builder add a local data filter by specifying on which column / which criterion the filter must be done .

 

Hoping that these manipulations can help you,

Re: graph with ellipse

hello,

That's not really what I was expecting as a solution. I was looking for a solution to apply directly via the graph builder.

thank you anyway for your answer.

Re: graph with ellipse

If you could attach the data table and how you set up Graph Builder, we could provide more specific advice on what you want.

 

Under the Ellipse section on graph Builder, you ave an option called Variables.  You can turn ellipses on and off here.
