For interactive charts (Graphs menu, Interactive submenu), the following options
are available:
ChartLook.
Select a ChartLook from the list of files and click OK or Apply. By default,
the list displays the ChartLooks saved in the Looks directory of the directory in
which the program is installed. You can use one of the ChartLooks provided with
the program
, or you can create your own in the Interactive Graphics Editor (in an
activated chart, choose
ChartLooks from the Format menu).
 Directory. Allows you to select a ChartLook directory. Use Browse to add
directori
es to the list.
 Browse. A
llows you to select a ChartLook from another directory.
Data Saved with Chart. Controls information saved with interactive charts once the
charts are no longer attached to the data file that created them (for example, if you
open a View
er file saved in a previous session). Saving data with the chart enables
you to perform most of the interactive functions available for charts attached to the
data file that created them (except adding variables that weren’t included in the
original
chart). However, this can substantially increase the size of Viewer files,
particularly for large data files.
Print Resolution. Controls the print resolution of interactive charts. In most cases,
Vector me
tafile
will print faster and provide the best results. For bitmaps, lower
resolution charts print faster; higher resolution charts look better.
Measurement Units. Measurement system used (points, inches, or centimeters) for
specify
ing attributes, such as the size of the data region in a chart.
Reading Pre-8.0 Data Files. For data files created in previous versions of SPSS, you can
specify the minimum number of data values for a numeric variable used to classify
the vari
able as scale or categorical. Variables with fewer than the specified number of
unique values are classified as categorical. Any variable with defined value labels is
classified as categorical, regardless of the number of unique values.
Note:T
hese settings affect only interactive charts (the Graphs menu’s Interactive
submenu).
