Default XY Scatter


I get the impression that you are misunderstanding exactly what an XY
plot is. An XY plot uses a numerical axis for both the X and Y axis,
meaning that you won't see city names as the labels for the X axis.
You are looking for a number on the X axis.

An XY plot is used to show a relationsip between 2 numbers. Remeber
back in algebra when you would plot y=x^2 on a graph? Those were XY
plots.

Does that make sense?
