Hello,
Happy Holidays,
Sorry, got a little side tracked during the holidays. I've been writing the
document in word with place holder images inserted into the document to serve
as a mock up. I utlimately plan on copying the documents into the GNU document
generator so I'll send you a copy within the next few days to get second
opinions on the text and images ect... before I take the next step. There is an
example with images for each statistics function and other functionality in the
GUI. That also means a lot of example data for the different scenarios. I don't
know if you would like that be downloadable.
Thank you,
Selma

John, what did you do to reproduce the problem? After reverting
the fix that you pushed, I didn't get a crash running the test
case from charts.at.
Thanks,
Ben.

I like it.
Does it need xvfb just to keep windows from showing up on the
user's X display while it runs? GTK+ has GtkOffscreenWindow that
might be a way to avoid that. Then we could at least avoid
adding one (rather unusual) dependency.

Well you need an X server in order to "display" the dialog. Many years
ago I tried other ways of doing this sort of thing on the current
display. The problem is, that the script cannot in general get control
over that display - eg to set resolution, colours etc. Also, a lot
of problems arise from other interactions with the display (eg:
"You must not move the mouse while the screenshot program is running").
Having a display dedicated to the window I'm trying to capture makes
the job a lot easier.
An advantage of xvfb is that I can tell it to start with a particular
resolution - even if the machine's graphics hardware doesn't support such
a resolution (or has no graphics hardware at all).
I haven't really paid much attention to GtkOffscreenWindow so I don't
know if it would make the job any easier.

Like Nick says. Simply run a Factor analysis and select the
scree plot checkbox.
Try something like the following syntax (/PLOT = EIGEN) is the pertinent
subcommand:
GET FILE="1993.sav".
FACTOR VARIABLES = famgen family16 form
/CRITERIA = MINEIGEN (1) ITERATE (25)
/EXTRACTION =PC
/METHOD = COVARIANCE
/PLOT = EIGEN
/PRINT = INITIAL EXTRACTION ROTATION
/CRITERIA = ITERATE (25)
/ROTATION = VARIMAX.

Oh! and the problem manifests itself only in the GUI.
The terminal user interface and non-interactive use is
not affected.
