If you create a boxplot by sample it would look like this: Each run could be executed by a different person (equipment operator). Let’s say that you’re under the following scenario: You are monitoring a process where you take samples three times per run (Beginning, Middle, and End). Sometimes you want to change the colors of points/symbols/boxes in a plot based on different groups. You can easily do this by going to Tools – Options once there go to Graphics – Annotation – My Footnote and select the options you want:Īfter you change these options all the graphs created will have a footnote like this: Let’s say that you want to include a footnote in all graphs with the worksheet name, date of last modification, and a custom text (for example: Created by Orlando Mezquita). Include worksheet name and other details as footnote for all graphs Notice that I added a title for the whole graph, for doing this go to Editor – Select Item – Graph Region then go to Editor – Add – Title. After entering the three graphs, the result would be as follows If you want to, you can change the size of the graphs by click on the any of them and dragging the extension points (circled in green below) in the direction you want: For example, after dragging the middle-right point in the previous graph the result would be as follows: Once there, you can change the number of rows and columns as in the graph below. To put them all together, go to Editor – Layout Tool, then add the graphs in the locations you want. For example, let’s say you have the following graphs created separately and you want to put them on a single graph with multiple panels.

The result for the previous example (4 rows x 1 column) looks like this: Another scenario you might encounter is that you have different graphs and you want to put them all together. You can change the layout of the panels by double click on any of the panel labels, Go to Arrangement, click on Custom, change the number of rows and columns, and click OK. When you create a graph with panels in Minitab, the graph will be created with a predefined layout of panels. If you have the same preference as me, you can go to: Tools – Options, once there go to Graphics – Panels – Options, then select ‘ Don’t alternate panels’. My personal reference is to have the ticks for the X-axis at the bottom and the ticks for the Y-axis at the left, as shown below. When you create a plot with panels in Minitab, the default setting is to alternate the ticks between the panels as in the figure below. For example, if I want to use the Measurement column as labels, the IF function would be: if(‘Measurement’ > 30, Text(‘Measurement’), “”) The workaround for this is to write the IF function as follows: if( condition, Text( NumericColumn), “”). You can use numeric columns as labels but if you do so, you’ll get asterisks (*) on the points without labels. To use numeric columns as labels convert them to text inside the IF function.

A workaround to create “control charts” with labels is to first calculate the control limits using a control chart then create a time series plot using the control limits as reference lines.

To create the labels Go to Calc – Calculator and use the IF function: IF(,, “”). However, you can create a column with the labels and then assign the labels of the points according to the new column:ġ) Create the labels column using the calculator.

Unfortunately, there’s no straightforward way of assigning labels to specific points in a plot. For example, let’s say that you want to identify the points above 30 in the following time series plot. In such cases, you might want to identify specific points in the graph. When you create a time series plot with lots of data points, there’s no way of having a tick mark in the X-axis for each of the points. Label specific points in time series plots Include details as footnote for all graphsĬhange colors and symbols for different groups in the data
