Charting Data

Creating charts for data is rather simple:

1 Select the Data Source using one of the following methods:

a) Select the New Chart button $image\chart_small.gif$ , or the Show Chart option from the right mouse or Characteristic menu

b) Select an existing Process or Analysis in the Process $image\processdiamond.gif$ or Analysis $image\analysisicon.gif$ branch.

c) Open an external data source by dragging & dropping the file into the right pane of the application window, or by using the File Open button $image\fileopen_small.gif$ .

d) Open a blank spreadsheet using the File New button $image\filenewsmall.gif$ and enter data via the keyboard or by pasting from the Windows clipboard.

2 Select the New Chart button $image\chart_small.gif$ , or the New Chart option from the right mouse menu.

a) For the last three cases above, the Options button is provided to edit the chart type, analysis and format options before creating the chart.

b) Once the chart is created, view and edit options via the Edit Characteristic option in the right mouse or Characteristic menu.

c) Edit or view data using the Data Form or a spreadsheet (opened via the Show Data option from the Characteristic menu).
