You can add the mean to a boxplot with GPL using an extra ELEMENT statement and perhaps a secondary dataset, but the logic of a boxplot is all based on order statistics. A mean line could be rather misleading, which is why there is no built-in way to do it. Are you sure you want to do this?

Thanks for your response. Referring to the other topic, do you know of a way to add the mean to the boxplot? I've reviewed the options and haven't found a way to do this using the dialogue boxes. Perhaps something like this can be done using the GPL interface.

Regards,

Vito

Boxplot requires that all of the cases be stored within the plot and that might be causing the problems since the technology used for the plot has changed. My own approach would be to sample cases down to a something like 10,000 observations. Try this and run EXPLORE to find the hinges for sample and population.

Hi all,

We just upgraded from SPSS 13 to 16 and have experienced problems with generating charts of any type. Our database consists of 6.500.000 clients whom we have separated in two .sav files, postpaid customers who sum about 1.750.000 and prepaid customers who add up to about 4.750.000 clients respectively.

For example, I would like to create a boxplot with each of the .sav files. In the case of the postpaid file SPSS generates the chart without problems, but after editing the chart I receive the message "Image Rendering Error". With the prepaid file SPSS isn't able to create the chart from the start and delivers the same message "Image Rendering Error" immediately.

Besides this error, I haven't found a way to add the mean to a boxplot.

Can someone help with these two issues, the image rendering error and adding the mean to a boxplot?

Thanks in advance,

Vito Palligas
