As a novice user, I find the discussion on data presentation very enlightening. There seems to be no best way to represent your data and all modalities advantages and disadvantages. This is very characteristic of science. There is not just one way to "skin the cat." _______________________ Reply Separator _______________________ Subject: dot plots Author: <Marcia.Woda@banyan.ummed.edu> (Marcia Woda) at wrsmtp-ccmail Date: 9/30/97 3:39 PM I vote for dot plots too. Even the novice user figures out right away how to hide populations he doesn't want to show or enhance those he does. We had a novice user explain in a published paper that an incomplete contour in a plot was an "artifact" of the contouring program. One could probably represent data reasonably well in a dot plot first try and take 5 trys to get it right in a contour.
