Scatter Plot Properties - Plots for two times or "timeless" plots

Once you have created a scatter plot, you can customize its look by choosing "Properties" from the "Graph" menu. There are more scatterplot options when you compare two different dataset at a range of times (rather than the same dataset at two different times), and these options are described here.  To see how changes will affect your plot without closing the dialog box, use the "Apply" button in the lower right.  

Click within the boxes below for more information.

Title

You can change the title of the scatter plot at the top of the dialog box.

Point attributes

You can choose the symbol for points using the pull-down menu (see image below), and can change the point size, including the size that points appear when you have selected them ("Selected size" , on the far right).  You can also choose the color for the point fill, or choose to no fill (check the "None" box).

Labels

You can alter the text on the scatter plot axis labels by changing the wording or the font.

Bounds

You can specify the range of values displayed on the scatter plot (minimum and maximum values shown on the horizontal and vertical bounds) and the number of labelled tick marks.  Note that the default bounds are based on the range of values found in the dataset at the two specified times.

Axes

You can create a set of axes (or cross-hairs) within a plot at an origin of your choice. For example, the Moran Scatterplot is typically shown with an internal set of axes with x and y origins both set at 0.  If you choose to add these axes, you can also add labels that indicate their origins on the original x and y axis.
