Fathom lets you make a wide variety of graphs.
First, make a new graph by choosing Graph from the Insert menu, or drag one off the shelf. This will be an "empty" graph - it doesn't show anything.
You have to tell Fathom what attributes to graph. Drag the name of an attribute from an Inspector or from the column heading of a Case Table and drop it on the axis of a graph. See a video of how to make a graph.
When you do that, Fathom will make a graph that's appropriate to the attribute you dropped. Once you've got a graph, you can change the type of graph in a pop-up menu in the graph itself.
What kind of graph you get depends on the kind of attributes. Attributes are basically of two kinds: continuous (the values are numbers such as 3.14 or 17) and categorical (the values are categories such as Western or Female).
