Tips on Working with Plots

There are several additional commands that you can use when you are working with plots.

You can release the SHIFT key once the coordinates are displayed. The coordinates will continue to be displayed as long as you hold down the mouse button. You can move the pointer around in the plot and the coordinates will change to reflect its current location.

Pressing CTRL+SHIFT and clicking the line does the same thing, but X is calculated based on Y.

The yellow box at the upper left corner of the label indicates that the label is selected. When the label is selected, you can edit the label text directly in the plot and can also click the box and drag it to a new location, if desired. Clicking elsewhere in the plot will de-select the label. Double-click the label to open the Edit Label window, as shown next.

In the Edit Label window, you can specify the text for the label. Clicking Set Font opens the Font window, which allows you to specify the font, size, style, color and orientation used for the label.

Custom labels, including the coordinate labels presented next, are not available in side-by-side plots.

Note that a coordinates label includes a < sign pointing to the location that the coordinates refer to.

You can choose to bring the line to the front or send it to the back. If you have clicked a point, this window will enable you to bring the group of points to the front or send them to the back. This feature is useful in cases where lines or points are obscuring one another.
