Graph Options [Edit Menu]

The various graph options are for changing the configuration of the current graph.

Graph Options

This allows you to configure the margins of the graph (the distance between the edge of the graph window and the graph axis). Units are in pixels. You can also change the background color of the plotting area, the relief of the plotting area, and to switch the X and Y axes, so that the X axis is vertical, and the Y axis is horizontal.

Press 'OK' to make the changes and close the dialog. Press 'Apply' to make the changes, but keep the dialog open. Press 'Close' to close the dialog and not make any changes.

Axis Options

This allows you to configure the parameters that affect the axes of the graph. Choose the desired axis from the ComboBox at the top of the dialog. There are 4 tabs which allow you to modify various parts of the axis:

Range - Change the minimum and maximum values of the axis and the tick marks.
Attributes - Change the color, width, and various display options for the axis.
Labels - Change the font that is used for labelling the axis.
Title - Change the text and the font used for the axis title.

Press 'OK' to make the changes and close the dialog. Press 'Apply' to make the changes, but keep the dialog open. Press 'Close' to close the dialog and not make any changes.

Graph Legend

This allows you to configure the parameters that affect the legend of the graph. There are 2 tabs which allow you to modify various parts of the legend:

Attributes - Change the color, width, relief and font for the legend
Position - Change the position of the legend. There are several standard locations around each side of the graph. You can also position the legend in the plotting area by choosing the 'Plot Area' option in the legend position list. You then drag the light blue box to the desired location for the legend.

Press 'OK' to make the changes and close the dialog. Press 'Apply' to make the changes, but keep the dialog open. Press 'Close' to close the dialog and not make any changes.

Graph Title

Modify the text and font used for the graph title. The graph title is always displayed above the graph.

Grid Options

Modify the grid and crosshairs for the graph. This includes the same options that the Grid Toolbar has.
