In a percentile plot, cases are sorted and then plotted in order; the other axis shows the percentile of the points. In the illustration, the graph is steepest at the lowest incomes because that’s where the most people are; it flattens and spreads out at the highest values, where there are fewer people.

Drop a numeric attribute on an axis and choose Percentile Plot from the graph’s pop-up menu.

Split a percentile plot by adding more numeric attributes to the same axis or by dropping a categorical attribute on the other axis.
