13.1.8 Changing the Appearance of the Graph

 

One way to change the appearance of your graph is to use the Data Ranges dialog box.

To change the appearance of your graph:

  1. Select Data Sets... from the graph window Edit menu. NExS displays a dialog box for Data Set 1 as shown in Figure 13.3. If the dialog box appears over your graph, rearrange the windows so you can see both the graph and the dialog box.

  2. Click on the Marker option menu and select Circle, then click Apply. The graph is redrawn with circles representing the data points.

  3. Click on the the Line Style option menu and select Dotted, then click Apply. The graph is redrawn with a dotted line.

  4. Click on the the Segment Type option menu and select Spline, then click Apply. The graph is redrawn with a cubic spline that smoothly connects the data points.

  5. The X Data and Y Data range entry boxes are already filled in with the ranges A1..A9 and B1..B9 from when you first drew the graph. To change the data ranges of the graph, simply enter the new range(s) in the appropriate box and click Apply.
