Values:Frequencylabels mosaic boxes with the frequency of observations represented in each box.
Values:Percentagelabels mosaic boxes with the percentage of observations represented in each box.
Values:Bothlabels mosaic boxes with both frequency and percentage.
Meansdisplays mean diamonds on box plots. The central line in the diamond marks the mean. The size of the diamond is two standard deviations, one on either side of the mean.
Serifsdisplays serifs at the ends of box plot whiskers.
Multiple Comparison of Meansdisplays a comparison circle (Sall 1992) for each box. The center of each circle marks the mean of each box. The color and line style of each circle indicates how the mean value of one box compares with the means of other boxes. A selected circle is highlighted and is drawn in red on color monitors. Circles corresponding to categories whose mean values are significantly different from a selected group are drawn in cyan on color monitors. Circles corresponding to categories whose mean values are not different are drawn with a dashed line and are red on color monitors. See the section "Multiple Comparison Circles" later in this chapter.
Multiple Comparison Optionsdisplays the Multiple Comparison Options dialog window.
Variable:Nameslabels the axes with variable names.
Variable:Labelslabels the axes with variable labels.
Variable:Bothlabels the axes with both names and labels.
Orientation: Y Axis Verticaldraws the axis for the Y variable vertically. If this option is off, the Y axis is horizontal.
Orientation: Vertical Axis at Leftplaces the vertical axis at the left side of the plot. If this option is off, the vertical axis is at the right side.
Orientation: Horizontal Axis at Bottomplaces the horizontal axis at the bottom of the plot. If this option is off, the horizontal axis is at the top.
You can modify other aspects of box and mosaic plots with the pop-up menu.

Ticks...
specifies tick labels on the Y axis.

Axes
toggles the display of axes.

Observations
toggles the display of observations (boxes and extreme values). When this menu is toggled off, observations are displayed only if selected.

Means
toggles the display of mean diamonds in box plots.

Comparison Circles
toggles the display of comparison circles in box plots.

Serifs
toggles the display of serifs at the ends of box plot whiskers.

Values
toggles the display of values for means, medians, quartiles, and ends of whiskers in box plots. Toggles the display of frequency and percentage counts in mosaic plots.

Reference Lines
toggles the display of lines that indicate the position of major ticks on the Y axis. This option is not available unless the axes are visible.

Marker Sizes
sets the size of markers that display extreme values in box plots.
