Only the first few rows of the new data table are shown here:

Transfer the entire columns-there are many more coordinates than original data points. Symbols and Lines" operation-this procedure is only necessary to create an AREA graph.Copy/paste the coordinates from the results sheet to a new table. Important note: You don't need to do this just to connect points on a LINE graph, which is a simple "Format. You'll need to plot these coordinates in order to get connecting lines. To view the coordinates, select the "Curve" view of the results sheet: Prism will produce a table of XY coordinates for each connecting line. You may also need to increase the "Number of segments" that the point-to-point curve should contain in order to prevent a jagged appearance to the line. For point-to-point connecting lines, set up a "Fit spline/LOWESS" analysis, choosing the "Point-to-point" method and checking the option to "Show the table of XY coordinates". Suppose you want "area" curves for the following data sets:įor this example, we'll connect the data points with straight lines, but you could apply this technique to fitted curves as well. If you need to change the order (which data set is in front), double-click on any dataset to bring up the Format Symbols dialog, and then go to the Order tab.Ĭreating area graphs requires a work-around in Prism 3. Prism automatically creates this type of graph. Select to make an Area Fill graph from the Welcome screen.
