Viewing a Graph Display

You can view a graph in two modes:

Locked: When a graph is locked, you can perform ProDiver operations, such as sort, flip axes, focus, and dives.
Unlocked: When a graph is unlocked, edit tools are available for you to modify the graph.

Graph tool bar.

ProDiver graphs display the following common properties:

Graph toolbar—Edit tools are enabled when the graph is unlocked.
Title—Default is the dimension value of the current dive.
Legend—Default values are the selected column names.
Axes labels—Dimension values or numeric scales.
Axes titles—Default values are column labels.

In ProDiver, selectable graph objects are called live. When the graph is locked, clicking a live object has an effect on the graph or Console. For example, clicking a bar on a bar graph selects the bar object (the label appears bold), and updates the Console History. Double-click a live object to see the associated DimCounts in the Console. Diving on graph data produces a child window, typically in the same graph format.

When a graph is unlocked, clicking an object selects the area of the graph on which you clicked. Double-click an object on the graph to open the Graph Object dialog box, which you can use to modify the graph format.

NOTE: If data labels overlap and are difficult to read, resting the pointer on a label brings the label to the foreground making it clearly legible.
