Purpose: Creates mean, standard deviation, and interaction plots for factors in a designed experiment.

DataSource: any.

Read/Write Properties

Name	Type	Description	Possible Values	Default Value
connected	boolean	Whether the points should be connected with a line.	true,false	false
includeVariableName	String	The name of an optional column with values indicating which cases should be included (a non-zero value indicates inclusion).	Any string.	""
plotType	String	Format of plot.	"Means","Standard Deviations", "Interactions"	"Means"
rotateClassLabels	boolean	Whether to make the bar labels vertical.	true,false	false
tablewiseExclusion	boolean	Whether all rows of the data table containing a missing value in any column should be excluded from the plot.	true,false	false
xVariableName	String	The name of the column with data values to be plotted.	Any string.	""

Code Sample

//create a datasource bean
FileDataSource fileDataSource1 = new STATBEANS.FileDataSource();

//set the file name to be read
fileDataSource1.setFileName("c:\\statbeans\\samples\\cardata.txt");

//create a chart bean
DexPlot plot1 = new STATBEANS.DexPlot();
plot1.setBackground(java.awt.Color.yellow);
plot1.setBounds(16,30,380,300);

//set the column to be plotted
plot1.setXVariableName("mpg");

//set the factor column
String temp[]=new String[3];
temp[0]="cylinders";
temp[1]="origin";
temp[2]="year";
plot1.setFactorVariableNames(temp);

//set the plot type
plot1.setPlotType("Means");

//add line connectors
plot1.setConnected(true);

//show the plot
add(plot1);

//make the plot bean a listener for changes in the FileDataSource bean
fileDataSource1.addDataChangeListener(plot1.listenerForDataChange);

//instruct the fileDataSource bean to read the file
fileDataSource1.readData();
