View Menu

The View Menu lets you show, or alternatively hide, several useful ProGraph tools. Commands preceded by a check mark indicate tools which are currently displayed. Click a command to hide a displayed tool or to display a hidden tool.

Legend is a box that displays x-axis labels. For help on editing x-axis labels, see How to Edit X-axis Labels (Legend). For more help with legends, see Working with Legends.

Series Legend is a box that displays, for each series of data graphed, the label of the data item (i.e., the series legend maps the data item to the color and pattern that represents it on the graph). For example, if valuation output is viewed in a graph and the variables PV of Future Benefits and Normal Cost are identified as data series, then the Series Legend box will display the labels “PV of Future Benefits” and “Normal Cost”, with the applicable color and pattern shown next to each label.

For help on editing series legend labels, see How to Edit Series Legend Labels. For more help with series legends, see Working with Legends.

ToolBar is a collection of buttons that give you quick mouse access to many of ProGraph’s features. For help with the toolbar, see Working with the Toolbar.

PaletteBar lets you drag colors onto your graph. For help with the palette bar, see How to Set Colors and Working with the Palette Bar.

PatternBar lets you drag patterns onto your graph, in the same manner as you drag colors from the Palette Bar. For help with the pattern bar, see Working with the Pattern Bar.

Graph is clicked to return to the graph from the Data Editor.

Data Editor lets you edit x-axis labels, series legend labels and numerical values (if shown) of graphed data. When you click on Data Editor, you enter a dialog box in which the values of your graphed data items are shown in a grid. You may edit the values, the grid’s row labels (generally, x-axis labels from the legend) or the grid’s column headings (generally from the series legend). For help with the Data Editor, see Working with the Data Editor.

Zoom lets you select a region of the graph to zoom in on. For more information on Zoom Command capabilities, see Zoom In capabilities.
