Hi,
looking at this example here:
i think that the implementation in pspp regarding
which variable goes to which axis is correct in that
sense that is the same as in SPSS.
In my view the title should then be: „Variable name
of data on y-axis“ vs. „Variable name of data on x-axis“
as
usually the dependent data is on the y axis. This
would correspond to the description e.g. in Matlab.
So maybe I should change that.
Cheers

The title of the scatterplot
says "Scatterplot y vs. x". Now there is a
debate about what y vs. x actually means. In
my opinion it means that y is on the
ordinate (vertical axis) and x on the
abscissa (horizontal). But on the net there
are opinions where "y vs. x" means that x
is on the ordinate. This is the present
implementation in PSPP.
Note that the PSPP command to
get x on the abscissa is "graph
/scatterplot= x with y." The title of the
scatterplot will be "Scatterplot x vs. y".
Any opinion on this?
