| 1. | In the graph attributes area, modify the fields inside the X-axis frame. |
| • | Type in a new label to change the graph’s X-axis label. |
| • | Select a precision to change the number of decimal places that display in the numbers on this axis. |
| • | Choose a min and max to restrict the graph to a specific range of values. |
For example, even if your data included accelerations ranging from 0 up to 10 m/s2, you could restrict the X axis to only graph accelerations from 1 to 5 m/s2.
| • | Change the number of Tics and Grids per tic to control how fine the grid behind the curves is drawn. |
The number of Tics indicates how many evenly-spaced, numbered increments display between the beginning and end of the axis. For example, if your data ranges from values of 0 to 2.0, setting Tics to "3" produces three increments (at 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5).
The Grids per tic sub-divides each tic, making a finer grid, but these grid lines are not numbered (much like the fractional markings on a ruler).
| 2. | Modify the fields inside the Y-axis frame: |
| • | Type in a new label to change the graph’s Y-axis label. |
For example, you could change it from "Y" to "time".
| • | Select a precision to change the number of decimal places that display in the numbers on this axis. |
| • | Choose a min and max to restrict the graph to a specific range of values. |
For example, even if your data included accelerations from 0 seconds to 60 seconds, but you only wish to graph the accelerations that occur between 30 and 35 seconds, you could restrict the range by typing "20" into the min and "35" into the max.
| • | Change the number of Tics and Grids per tic to control how fine the grid behind the curves is drawn. |
The number of Tics indicates how many evenly-spaced, numbered increments display between the beginning and end of the axis. For example, if your data ranges from values of 0 to 2.0, setting Tics to "3" produces three increments (at 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5).
The Grids per tic sub-divides each tic, making a finer grid, but these grid lines are not numbered (much like the fractional markings on a ruler).
| 3. | Modify the fields inside the Legends frame: |
| • | Select a location to determine where the legend displays in the graph area. |
| • | Click the hide checkbox to toggle the display of the legend on and off. |
