Creating a Column Plot
Jump to navigation
Jump to search
Charts are created in the same way as tables, except that appendPlot replaces appendTable, and the required chart-type needs to be specified:
This example uses C:\Program Files\Q\Examples\Phone.sav (this may be located on a different place on your computer depending upon how Q was installed).
// Working on Phone.sav, this creates a new column plot of Age broken down by Gender.
var p = project.report.appendPlot("Bar/column/line plot");
p.primary = project.dataFiles[0].getQuestionByName('Age');
p.secondary = project.dataFiles[0].getQuestionByName('Gender');See also
