 Specify the grouping column(s)
group

Input

Range

<unassigned>
 Specify the grouping column(s)
Plot Order order

Input

int

0
 Specify how to sort the data in Output sheet and plot grouped dot plots when there are multiple Input columns.

Option list:

  • 0=plotfirst: Input Variables First
  • 1=grpfirst: Group Info First
Stack stack

Input

int

4
 Specify whether stack the dot plots and how to stack them in each group.

Option list:

  • 0=all:All

  • 1=density:Density

The point will be arranged as that in a column scatter, but the points will be aligned to base line of each plot. Actually there is no bin for data, the data arrangement relate to size of data point.

Horizontal Margin hmargin

Input

int

5
 Specify the horizontal margin to fit page to layer, for making the tick labels show well especially when there are multiple table rows on Y axis.
