The Spin plot presents a three-dimensional scatterplot which you can spin to observe the distribution of your data in three dimensions.

The Up/Dn, C/CC, and L/R buttons at the bottom of the window control spinning direction(the button names mean Up/Down, Clockwise/Counterclockwise and Left/Right). Click on a button to change direction. The SPEED buttons control the speed of spinning. Hold down a button to gradually increase or decrease the speed.

The SPIN button starts and stops rotation. You can also spin the space by using the HAND ROTATE tool (whose cursor is a hand) and dragging your cursor around the space. If your cursor is not a hand, you can get this tool by clicking on the MOUSE button at the top of the window. Finally, you can spin the space by holding down the shift key while you click on the rotate buttons, or while you use the HAND ROTATE tool: The spinning will continue by itself until you click on the SPIN button.

The HOME button returns the space to its original orientation and stops rotation.  The ROCK button reverses the direction of rotation: Repeatedly clicking on this button rocks the space back and forth, giving you a better view of the detailed location of points in the space. The CLIP button clips off garbage that sometimes appears at the edges of the window. Holding down a ZOOM button will gradually zoom the space in or out.

At the top of the window are buttons that give you this help message, turn color on and off, and allow you to change the mouse-mode. In addition, the BOX button allows you to add or remove a three-dimensional box that encompasses the data points. The X, Y and Z buttons allow you to change which variable is shown on the X, Y, or Z axis.
