12.1 Creating a Graph

 

To create an NExS graph:

  1. Select a range of cells to be graphed. (If the selection is a single array, those values are assumed to be Y-values; X-values are automatically set to 1, 2, 3...)

  2. Select New Graph from the Graph menu and display its submenu.

  3. Select the desired graph type (Line Graph, Bar Graph, etc.) from the New Graph submenu. The graph is drawn inside a separate Graph Edit window named Untitled. The appearance of the graph itself is determined by the selected options in the New Graph Options dialog box. You can name your graph as explained later in this chapter.


Note: If you attempt to create a graph without selecting a range of data, NExS displays an empty graph window named ``Untitled'' as shown in Figure 12.2. The menus inside the graph window can be used to select data ranges and an appropriate graph type can be generated. This approach may be necessary if you have non-contiguous data ranges.
