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.
