fix the basis of size variable

T1m

Hello, I have multiple graphs to compare with each other. I am using the size variable to highlighth the more important datapoints.

Is it somehow possible to fix the basis of the size variable in order to have comparable datapoint sizes across multiple graphs?  Right now the max of each filtered size variable  will be taken as the max data point size.

 

e.g.

Graph 1  Max datapoint value= 100 pcs   eq.  6mm diameter in the graph

Graph 2  Max datapoint value= 200 pcs   also eq 6mm diameter.

 

I would rather like to have the size variable fixed to eg. 200 pcs i.e Graph 1 =3mm; Graph 2 =6 mm

Ideally you would put the graphs together as two frames of a composite graph -- then they would share the same size legend. That may involve concatenating tables with an aritifical grouping variable to be like this example:

 

 

That's not always possible. Another option may be to add an artifical point with a large size which will dominate the sizing. That point could be labeled as a reference legend point or made invisible by coloring it very light.

 

In case you don't know, you can also right-click on the size legend to adjust the scaling of each graph individually. This is a manual process and more error-prone, but is a fall-back option.
