Hi everybody!
I created a symbol plot with some data. Unfortunately some symbols are overlapping like you can see in the graph. How can I offset them in x-direction without changing the data?

Thanks for your help.

Thank you very much, Kathy.
The workaround with grouped plots works fine.

Hi,
In the Plot Details dialog of symbol plot, there is a check box "Overlapped Points Offset Plotting" under the "Symbol" tab, when you check this box, the data points with the same X and Y coordinates will display with X offset automatically.
However, judging from your graph, your symbols were not really sharing exactly the same XY coordinates, then I'm afraid the above way doesn't work for your case. A possible workaround is that instead of creating a single symbol plot of all data points, plot the "overlapping" data points separately as grouped plots, then in the Layer Properties dialog (Format:Layer Properties) dialog, go to the Stack tab, select "Individual" radio button and check for "X", then go to the Plot Properties dialog of each plot, in the "Offset" tab, set the X offset value.
You could refer to this page for details on creating grouped data plots.
If the above workaround is not good enough for you, then I'm afraid you have to manually change the X data in order to display those points with X offset.
