Printing Layouts can be used to collect graphics, explanations, and computation results on one piece of paper. Save Desktop Picture will produce 2 sheets of paper on a 14 inch monitor and 4 sheets of paper on a 15 inch monitor unless you resize or rotate the image. Scratchpads Text for layouts is best entered in a scratchpad, selected, copied, and then pasted into the layout. These commands can be used if you want to first enter your data in a text file, or if you'd like to use a spreadsheet for part of your analysis. Before choosing export , select the variables you wish to export in the order you wish them to appear in the new file.
Import creates a new relation from such a tab-delimited file.
Variables may be dragged from one relation to another as long as both relations have the same number of cases. Palettes Display and Hiding can be accomplished by choosing Palettes from the Manip menu. The Paintbrush and Lasso tools can be used to conveniently select cases from a plot. By holding the shift key down, the cases you click on are added to previous selections rather than replacing them. The Question Mark tool can be used on a plot to find out the variable value which goes with the data point.
