Hi

The following syntax labels each point of the scatter plot using the ID
variable.

GET FILE='c:\program files\spss\employee data.sav'.
N OF CASES 10.
GRAPH
  /SCATTERPLOT(BIVAR)=salbegin WITH salary BY id (NAME)
  /MISSING=LISTWISE .

HTH

Hi all-

I did a search of the archives and found my exact question (asked in January
of 1997), but not an answer.
Is there any way to label the points on a scatter plot?
For example instead of having a large legend with a 15 symbols of different
colors for 15 classes of observations ranging from 1 to 15, I'd like to use
the case numbers as the symbols and have the legend read: case #   variable
label.
Label cases by and set markers in the GUI aren't quite doing it for me.

Thanks,
Brian
