Control over number of displayed axis values

[romanpParticipant]

Hello,

Q1: Is there a way to display every nth value only on the axis? I have a graph with well over 1,000 data points and it crowds the values making them unreadable.   I found on the forum a workaround through the creation of variable Labels.  Is this the only way?

Q2: It’s a request rather.  The raincloud plot is fascinating.  I studied the example online and could not figure out all the necessary commands.  Is there a chance that you could devote a video to that subject?

Thank you.

For your first question, can you provide a bit more information? Using a specified label in the Axis settings can be one way, but the easiest solution depends on the command are you using, and whether these are text labels or numbers.  If you can upload a screenshot, that can also be helpful.

For your second question, a video sounds like an excellent idea for the Rainbow Plots.  We will do more videos this fall on YouTube and have added this to our list!

In the meantime, one thing that might help is you can hover over a command, and a pop-up will tell you the command.  For example, sideways histograms are created using the Box command, a command that has a lot of drawing options that go well beyond box plots.

Here it is.  Thank you for taking a look at it.  The Y axis is assigned to a nominal variable (M1 to M175).
