Working with Categorical Plot Types
You can sort and group data using the categorical plot types:
Dot Chart
Bar Chart
Pie Chart
The categorical plot types can be used to compare the representations of data
across different plots. When the same variable (list) is used for a dot chart and
a bar chart or pie chart in a problem, selecting a data point or segment in one
of the plots selects the corresponding data point, segment, or bar in all other
plots that include the variable.
Creating a Dot Chart
The default plot type for categorical data is the dot chart.
