Interactive Graphics

Axes

  • Control axis title, font for title and tick labels, number of ticks and number of pips

  • Zoom graphs (in the direction of each axis or all together)

Annotation Tools

  • Annotation objects can be selected, repositioned and resized quite easily
  • Annotation properties like Line Color, Style, Thickness and Fill Color, Pattern etc. can be set and modified easily
  • Annotation Text can be added interactively to attach meaningful contents to graph elements which need extra attention
  • Annotation text font properties can be set and modified conveniently

Status Bar Help

  • Tooltips showing each individual element name (for e.g. Frame, X-axis, Legend, Bar, Scatterplot, Histogram, etc.) in the status bar on mouse hover in the Graph Editor
  • View properties of elements like case ID and the value against variable names for all the axes
  • Save charts to BMP, PS, EPS, EMF, WMF, JPG, PICT, GIF, TIFF, PNG with options for setting, resolution, size, format and color translation
  • Frame tracker for identifying individual frames that can then be resized and/or repositioned
  • Object tracker for identifying individual objects in a graph that can then be edited using the Graph Interactivity feature
  • Reposition the graph title using the mouse (drag-and-drop)
