This example will use the Palmer penguins dataset:

palmerpenguins.csv

To create a scatterplot matrix in Minitab:

  1. Open the data file in Minitab
  2. From the tool bar, select Graph > Matrix Plot... > Matrix of Scatterplots > Simple
  3. Double click the variable bill_length_mm in the box on the left to insert it into the Graph variables box on the right
  4. Double click the variable bill_depth_mm in the box on the left to insert it into the Graph variables box on the right
  5. Double click the variable flipper_length_mm in the box on the left to insert it into the Graph variables box on the right
  6. Double click the variable body_mass_g in the box on the left to insert it into the Graph variables box on the right
  7. Click OK

This should result in the following scatterplot matrix:

Scatterplot matrix of bill length, bill depth, flipper length, and body mass
