This document provides an overview of the different graph types and options available in the InnerSoft STATS software. It describes 7 main sections of the graphs menu, including general settings, grouping cases, categorical-quantitative graphs, two categorical variables, graph sequences, candlestick/point and figure/stock graphs, and scatter plots. For each section, it lists the available graph types and statistical options. It also provides brief descriptions and settings for specific graph types like Kagi, Renko, candlestick, and point and figure charts.

1. - General Settings
Most of the menus have a tab for general settings. The options are:
Chart Width. Determines the width of the entire chart image in pixels.
Chart Height. Determines the height of the entire chart image in pixels.
Opacity. To use an opaque color, set Opacity to 255. To create a semitransparent color, set
Opacity to any value from 1 through 254 (0=Total Transparency; 255=Total Opacity). You must
set some grade of transparency when using multi-series charts based on superposed areas: Radar,
Range, Area, SplineRange, SplineArea…
Border Width for Lines. Determines the border width, in pixels, of the chart. Use if for line-based
charts as Candlestick, FastLine, Line, PointAndFigure, Spline, StepLine, Stock,
ThreeLineBreak…
Use 3D Style. Check to display the chart area using 3D style.
Is Right Angle Axes. Gets or sets a flag that determines whether a chart area is displayed using an
isometric projection. Check to display the chart axes at right angles. Uncheck to display the chart
area using an isometric projection.
Y Axis is Started From Zero. Indicates whether the minimum value of the axis will be
automatically set to zero if all data point values are positive. If there are negative data point
values, the minimum value of the data points will be used. Check if the minimum value of the axis
is automatically set to zero when all data point values are positive.
Y Axis Scale Break Style. A scale break is a stripe drawn across the plotting area of a chart to
denote a break in continuity between the high and low values on a value axis. Use a scale break to
display two distinct ranges in the same chart area. You cannot specify where to place a scale break
on your chart. The chart uses its own calculations based on the values in your dataset to determine
whether there is sufficient separation between data ranges to draw a scale break on the value axis
(y-axis).
Label Y Values. Check to display the data point value as labels.
Point Labels Font Size. Set font size to display the data point labels.
Show Legend. Check to display the chart legend.
There is also a common tab to set the Title and Footnote of the chart. Click Titles Tab to define lines of
text to be placed at the top or bottom of the plot. None of these fields is required. You may choose to
leave any or all of them blank.

4. - Two Categorical
From the menus choose: Graphs > Two Categorical
1. Select at least one variable for the category axis and move it into the Independent Variable (x)
field. This variable may be numeric or string.
2. Select at least one variable and move it into the Dependent Variable (Y) field. Each group will
consist of one bar/slice/stack/lines for each value of the Dependent variable at every level of the
Independent variable.
Available statistics are
• Number of cases.
• % Grand Total. Percentages are based on the total number of cases or responses in the chart.
• % by X. Percentages are based on the total number of cases in the x-axis category. Adding up the
graphic elements in the category equals 100%.
• % by Y. Percentages are based on the total number of cases in the y-axis category. Adding up the
graphic elements in the category equals 100%.
• Cumulative N. The cumulative number of cases with particular x-axis values. Each graphic
element shows the number of cases with particular x-axis values plus the total number of cases for
every graphic element drawn previously on the same axis.
