It's curious that texture.pattern doesn't work here but you can get around it with a chart template. I've created one that seems to work by editing the chart in the editor and then checking off the Non-data element checkbox and the Boxplot fill checkbox. I'll send that separately to Robert.

Size can be controlled via the PAGE statement wrapper, as in this example:

GGRAPH /GRAPHDATASET NAME="graphdataset" VARIABLES=minority salary MISSING=LISTWISE REPORTMISSING=NO /GRAPHSPEC SOURCE=INLINE TEMPLATE=[ "C:\Users\Vi\Desktop\boxfill.sgt"]. BEGIN GPL PAGE: begin(scale(400px,300px)) SOURCE: s=userSource(id("graphdataset")) DATA: minority=col(source(s), name("minority"), unit.category()) DATA: salary=col(source(s), name("salary")) GUIDE: axis(dim(1), label("Minority Classification")) GUIDE: axis(dim(2), label("Current Salary")) SCALE: cat(dim(1), include("0", "1")) SCALE: linear(dim(2), include(0)) ELEMENT: schema(position(bin.quantile.letter(minority*salary))) PAGE: end() END GPL.

Now that I have got a reasonably good grip on GPL, there still are some issues I don't understand, and suggestions would be very welcome.

*My attempts to achieve a pattern in a boxplot do not work, nor do use of colors. The code used is ELEMENT: schema(position(bin.quantile.letter(gender*exp_life)),texture.pattern(textur e.pattern.grid))

It works in the sense that I get the boxplots, but there is not any pattern. Am I missing something here?

*Is there any way to specify the size of the plot? I would like to use a height smaller than the default since the plots are intended to be used in a report where space is fairly limited. I have been able to specify the width when exporting the graph to a eps-file, but that is not all I would like to change.

Suggestions anyone?

Robert
