scatterplot
Hi all,
I'm making a scatterplot of GDP and welfare expenditures for a number of countries. I would like to change the color of about ten data points. In other graphs, like line graphs, I can usually right click on the data point and make changes using "format data series." In this scatterplot, though, any changes affect all of the data points. Any suggestions? Thanks, Nathan |

scatterplot
In a line graph you can not change the color of half of a line. Same deal
with a scatter plot. What you need to do is to set up seperate series for different groupings of countries. Each series will be plotted with a different colour the same as different series on a line graph make different lines and each line is a different colour. -- HTH...

Not quite what you want ... but shows what you want. :) |
