Graphs

The data can be plotted in several different formats, for example:

The format of the Graph can be changed at any time, and the layout fine tuned, using the Graph window menu, described below.


The Graph window menu

The Graph window menu is shown to the right.

Layout...
This opens a dialogue that allows a range of layout options to be changed. Any changes will apply only to that specific graph (or any subsequent graphs plotted for that particular dataset), any other graphs displaying will be unchanged. The range of options available is described on a separate page.
Annotate...
This opens a dialogue that allows the graph annotation (graph title and x and y axis titles) to be added and edited. This dialogue is described on a separate page.
Interpolate...
This will present you with a dialogue containing two tabs. This allows you to either calculate the value of y for a given value of x, using the fitted equation, or to calculate a range of values of y over a range of x values. This dialogue is described on a separate page.
Axis range...
This option opens a dialogue box that allows the overriding of the automatic axis range setting, for the rare occasions when GraphDraw doesn't get it right. This dialogue is described on a separate page..
Save as
This leads to a small submenu offering the options to save as a draw file or as a multiplot file. The graph can be saved as a drawfile to disc or directly to another suitable application. Alternatively, the data for the points and the line (if plotted) can be saved in MultiPlot format, either to disc or direct into MultiPlot.
Print...
This leads to a small dialogue.

This will show the currently active printer in the window title, and allows the number of copies to be selected. Clicking Print will print the Graph, using the print format setting in the print tab of choices. If there is not an active printer, the Print button will be shaded, and the window title will include 'no printer'.


These pages are best viewed in a CSS compliant browser. For RISC OS, Netsurf would be the browser of choice.
