SPSS Graph "Simple Dot"
Hello Experts:
I've created two "Simple Dot" graphs (via "Graphs | Legacy Dialogs | Scatter/Dot | Simple Dot" menu).
For two fields (both of them are on a scale between 0 and 1), the graphs look quite differently. Please see attached JPGs.
Why does one Simply Dot show "circles" while the other shows "lines"?

I'm not exactly sure what type of data you have, but it looks to be interval or ratio measurement, so most typical in that situation would be a histogram. You can also rescale histograms as percentages, if you want both graphs on the same metric.

Thanks... I appreciate the additional info.

Thanks for the info... yes, I've realized that they're also circles.
To recognize them, I had to increase the size of the graph by a factor of ~3.
The graph (where I suggested it has lines) contains approximately 1,500 data points.
Do you have another recommendation for displaying the data? Ideally, I don't want to use the scatter plot (requiring two variables). Instead I merely want to plot these points... without having to increase the size of the graph a great deal.
Thanks,
