Relative frequency histogram

[Stanley]

Hi,

This should be simple.

I would like to know how to create a relative frequency histogram in SPSS.

Using syntax, the command to create a frequency histogram is /HISTOGRAM
NORMAL.

Using syntax, what is the command for a relative frequency histogram,
please?

Similarly, using menus, you create a frequency histogram by clicking on
"graphs," "legacy dialogs," and "histogram."

So using menus, how do you create a relative frequency histogram?

Thank you for help.

Graphs --> Interactive --> Histogram. Move $pct to the Y-axis.

Hi Bruce,

Thank you for your reply.

That worked with menus just fine.

Now, if I wanted to use the syntax editor, would I have to enter all of
the following information (which I have copied from the output log):

IGRAPH /VIEWNAME='Histogram' /X1 = VAR(salary) TYPE = SCALE /Y = $pct
/COORDINATE = VERTICAL /X1LENGTH=3.0 /YLENGTH=3.0 /X2LENGTH=3.0
/CHARTLOOK='NONE' /Histogram SHAPE = HISTOGRAM CURVE = OFF X1INTERVAL NUM
= 11 X1START = 0.

Thanks again.

The other way to obtain syntax is by clicking on PASTE (rather than
OKAY) to exit the dialog.

Hi Bruce,

Thank you. That was instructive.
