Currently, the amount of categories in a distribution plot (i.e., the x axis) is determined automatically by JASP. I am currently working with a dataset, where participants responded to a series of questions with a rating of 1-4 (i.e., four response categories). In some questions, no participants selected the response "1". JASP now understandably assumes that this response option does not exist and therefore displays only the categories 2-4 in the distribution plot.
This complicates the comparison of the plots (see example below), because the information that zero participants selected response option 1 gets lost.
Purpose
No response
Use-case
No response
Is your feature request related to a problem?
No response
Is your feature request related to a JASP module?
Descriptives
Describe the solution you would like
It should be possible to manually set and label the amount of categories on the x axis.
Describe alternatives that you have considered
No response
Additional context
Plot with four categories (correct)
Plot with three categories (incorrect, response option 1 is missing, since no participants selected this option. Nevertheless, this is relevant information and should be possible to display in the plot.)
