Changing graph appearance
Most graphs are drawn in graph tracks that are similar to the annotation tracks used to display annotations. Floating graphs do not appear in such a track. See Floating graphs on page 58.
You can modify many properties of graph tracks in the same way you modify properties of annotation tracks. Right-click on the track handle and choose from the menu. See Customizing annotation tracks on page 37.
All graphs have a rectangular block drawn at the left-hand edge. This is the graph handle. It can be used to select floating graphs with the mouse. For graphs that are drawn in a graph track, it is easier to select them by clicking on the track handle instead.
Settings and adjustments that are specific for graphs can be made using the Graph Adjuster tabbed panel.
To change the settings for one or more graphs that are displayed in IGB:
- Click the Graph Adjuster tab.
- Select the graph(s) to change by doing one of the following:
- To change a single graph, click the colored bar at the left side of a graph (the graph handle) or the track label to select it.
- Shift-click to select additional graphs.
- To change the settings for all graphs that are currently displayed, click the Select All button in the Graph Adjuster panel.
- Make changes to the graph settings by typing in new values or by operating sliders in the Graph Adjuster panel. For details, see the sections that follow this procedure.
Any changes you make to the values in the Graph Adjuster panel will apply to all currently selected graphs.
