WORKING WITH GRAPHS AND TEMPLATES

Now that we know how to create templates and graphs, let’s go over some of the things we can do with the data

that is displayed in our Chart window.

OPENING A GRAPH

To open a graph, select the Graph tab in the File Management window and double the filename. You can have

several graphs and templates open at one time, and each will have a tab across the top of the Chart window to

identify it.

IDENTIFYING THE CHART TYPE

Notice that template tabs

and graph tabs

each have their own unique icon to identify what

type of chart they represent.

MOVING THE CHART

You can slide the template or graph around in the chart window. To do this, click and hold the right mouse button

anywhere on the chart window. With the right mouse still held down, move the mouse and the chart will move

with it.

ZOOMING IN

To zoom in, move the mouse to a point on the chart

that is above and to the left of the area you want to

zoom in on. Press and hold the left mouse button and

move the mouse down and to the right, drawing a blue

box around the data you want to zoom in on.

When you release the mouse button, the chart will redraw the area you drew a box around at a zoom level that

fills the chart window with your data.

We want to zoom in on this area,

so we drew a box around it, from

upper left to lower right.

Here is our area of

interest, zoomed in.
