Plot Window


Description Usage See Also

Description

Draco uses a single unified window to display all charts and plots created by the user. The plot window provides a viewing interface for graphics in Draco, allows modification of the graphics (dependent on the plot/chart type), allows copying to other applications, and provides facilities to export graphics to files. Like all Draco windows, the plot window can be renamed on the fly to make tracking of child windows simple for the user.

Usage

Draco plot windows generally look the same, although the contents can change based on plot/chart type. An example is shown below:

Exmaple Plot Window
The plot window can be resized at will, and the resulting graph is always expands to fill the entire window.

All plot windows provide three major toolbar buttons, as shown below:
Plot Window Toolbar
The first allows the plot to be saved to a file separate from the rest of the worksheet. More information on saving plots is shown in the Saving Plots page. The second button allows the current plot to be copied to the clipboard as an image for easy sharing with other software.  The third button prints the current plot on a full page.  The final button opens the Plot Properties Dialog, which allows the configuration of the current plot, including colors, labels, and titles, among others.
