How to specify DATA SETS for graphs
There are two possible methods for specifying the data sets in a graph:
1. Specifying the ranges before setting up the new graph.
First select (highlight) a range of data to be graphed. Next, choose
New Graph from the Graph menu. Inside the New Graph sub-menu select
the desired graph type. A new window named Untitled will be created
with your graph. You can then edit the data ranges (as described in
the second method of creating a graph) or change any of the general
graph characteristics.
2. Specifying the ranges having set up the new graph.
After you have initially created a graph using the New option from
the Graph menu, you can set data sets by selecting Data Sets
from the Edit menu. When the Data Sets Options dialog box appears
you will see the Data Set # specified at the top left hand corner,
with a drag bar below it. This drag bar let you move between
data sets. To specify a range, click in the appropriate X, Y
or Z range box and enter the range. You may define up to twenty
(20) separate data sets for each axis.You can enter the range by
highlighting the range in the worksheet, or entering the first and
last cell address separated like: A1..A15. Repeat this for each
data set. You can further customize how the data is represented in
the graph by changing the options within the Data Sets Options
dialog box. The initial values displayed in this dialog box are
based on the type of graph you selected from the New Graph option
menu or in the Graph Options dialog box.
The Data Set Options dialog box lets you alter the following:
o Graph data ranges
o Hi/Lo Data
o Annotation
o Segment type
o Histogram option
o Shading
o Line style, width, color
o Marker type
o Fill style
o Fill color
o Legend text, font, size, style, color
Click OK to accept the changes and dismiss the dialog box; click
Apply to accept changes and retain the dialog box. (If Defer
Redraw in the general Graph Options menu is OFF, the effects are
immediately reflected in the corresponding graph edit window; if
Defer Redraw is ON, you must explicitly invoke Redraw from the
File menu to update the graph.) Click Cancel if you wish to
dismiss the dialog box.
For more information on how to specify data sets select the "Data
Sets Dialog" option from the Help "Index" menu.
