2D Matrix Plots
Matrix plots summarize
the relationships between several variables in a matrix of X-Y plots.
The most common type of matrix plot is the scatterplot
matrix, which can be considered the graphical equivalent of the correlation
matrix. You can also create a line matrix.

If one list of variables is selected when defining the matrix plot,
then a square matrix plot is produced and the histograms of frequency
distributions of the respective variables are plotted on the diagonal.
If you select variables in two lists, then a rectangular matrix plot is
produced. In this style of matrix plot, the histograms for the respective
variables are displayed in the first row and column of the matrix.
You can create matrix plots via the Graphs
- Matrix Plots options. In addition, Scatterplot Matrices can be created
via options available as a part of a particular analysis (e.g., in ANOVA).
