The Preferences dialog allows you to set user-default values for some GS+ behaviors. There are three categories available – General settings (as described here), settings for Data File Import, and settings for Analyses.
The Reset command returns all user-default values on this tab only to original (GS+ defined) default values. To reset all values on all tabs, use the Global Reset command.
Specify the value used by GS+ to indicate that a value is missing. Missing values are ignored during data builds and subsequent analyses.
Change the background color of the main GS+ window. The default color is the color of your desktop. Click on the color panel to change the color.
Change the default Graph background color by clicking on the color panel. Default values can be overridden for individual graphs using the Graph Settings dialog.

For different types of variates, allow GS+ to format values automatically or specify directly the number of places past the decimal to report in windows and printouts. All calculations are performed on double-precision values regardless of the values requested here.
