The Graph Settings Dialog allows you to edit most aspects of how a graph is presented. The dialog will look slightly different depending on whether you are editing a bar graph (e.g. the frequency distribution graph in the example screens below), an x-y scatter graph (e.g. a variogram), or a 2-D or 3-D map. In the case of a 3-D map, for example, there will be a place for scaling and renaming the Z axis in addition to the X and Y axes. In addition to the General tab, there is also a tab for Axis Scaling, Axis Titles and Labels, and Contour Details (only available for map graphs).
You may set background colors for three different parts of the graph. Click on the small flat panel to the right of the component name to bring up a Color Dialog Window that will allow you to change the color of that component. The color of the panel indicates the current color. The default color can be changed in the User Preferences dialog.
You may set border styles for the graph and for the legend (if shown). Width refers to the width of the border (e.g. line thickness) and Print allows you to choose to exclude the border when printing.
On graphs with lines (e.g. variogram models) you may specify line style, width, and color.
A title is text that appears at the top center of the graph area. To change the font of the title press Change, which will bring up a Font Dialog Window.
The legend appears on maps and quantile postings to indicate the value ranges for different symbols or colors. Legend text appears at the top of the legend table. To change the font of the title and the legend values press Change, which will bring up a Font Dialog Window.
A footnote is text that appears at the bottom left of the graph area. To change the font of the footnote press Change, which will bring up a Font Dialog Window. To have variogram model parameters printed as a footnote to variogram graphs, place in this field “(model results)”. This notation is placed in the field by default whenever a new variogram and model are calculated; you will need to remove it if you do not want variogram model parameters to appear as a graph footnote.
Press Apply Now to apply any changes made to the graph and keep the Graph Settings dialog window open.
Press Cancel to exit the Graph Settings Dialog without applying any changes since the last Apply Now command.
Press Exit to close the Graph Settings Dialog window. Any changes made since the last Apply Now command will be applied to the graph.
