Rug Plot

Select menu: Graphics | Rug Plot

Use this to create a rug plot to display the distribution of one or more sets of data. For each set of data a “rug” is drawn: that is, a series of short lines along an axis, positioned at each value of the data variate. When several data variates or a groups factor with data variate are supplied, a rug is drawn for each data set using the same scale.

After you have imported your data, from the menu select
Graphics | Rug Plot.
Fill in the fields as required then click Run.

You can set additional options and axis settings by clicking the Options, Axis and Frame tabs.
