There are two commands in SPSS that are used exclusively to make graphs: graph and igraph. (There are several other commands that have subcommands that make graphs, but they will not be discussed here.) While graph and igraph will make many of the same kinds of graphs (e.g., histograms, scatterplots, etc.), the options available to you are different for the different commands. Because many of the options available in both graph and igraph cannot be utilized with code, we will show how to point-and-click to get these options. We will use the hsb2 data set to illustrate the commands and options.
THE GRAPH COMMAND
Options that are general to most types of graphs created with the graph command
There are several options that are common to most types of graphs that can be created with the graph command. We will illustrate these using a scatterplot. To create the scatterplot, at the top of the data editor, click on graphs > scatter. We will select simple and then click on "define". We will choose the variable read for the x-axis and the variable write for the y-axis and then click OK. If we double click anywhere on the graph, we will open up the chart editor. From here, we can alter many aspects of the graph’s appearance.
Changing aspects of the axes: click on chart > axis > select axis that you want to modify. We will choose the x-axis and then click on OK. From this dialogue box, you can hide the axis line by unchecking the check-box in the top left-hand corner. You can alter the axis title and where the title is positioned relative to the axis (e.g., left/bottom, right/top or centered). Note that "bottom" and "top" refer to the bottom and top of the scale, as in the lowest and highest values on the scale; they do not refer to the bottom or top of the graph. You can select either a linear or a log scale, as well as the minimum and maximum values displayed. You can specify the increments of both the major and minor divisions (in other words, where the tick marks are). In the lower right hand corner you can uncheck the check box entitled "display labels" if you do not want labels displayed. Clicking on the labels button takes you to a new dialogue box where you can indicate how many decimal places are shown, indicate a leading character, a trailing character, and a "1000s separator" (which means that a comma would be used when values exceed one thousand). You can also supply a scaling factor and alter the orientation of the axis labels.
