Document Size and Scaling

Select Document Size and Scaling from the View menu (when a graph is the active window) to display the Document Size and Scaling dialog.

Size. Use the options under Size to change the overall size and proportions of your graph. Enter the desired parameters in the Width and Height fields.

Graph margins. Under Graph margins, enter the desired parameters of the graph margins in the Left, Top, Right, and Bottom fields.

Note: The specified Graph margins are a part of the graph dimension specified under Size. That is, a graph with the Width specified as 6 inches, the Height as 4 inches, and the Top, Left, Right, and Bottom Graph margins as 0.5 inches would have a graphic display area 5 inches wide by 3 inches high.

Inches. Select the Inches option button to express the dimensions of the graph and its margins in inches.  

Centimeters. Select the Centimeters option button to express the dimensions of the graph and its margins in centimeters.

Scaling of fonts/markers. In the Scaling of fonts/markers box, specify the relative size of all fonts and point markers displayed on the graph. To increase the relative size of point markers, increase the percentage value in the corresponding field. To decrease their relative size, decrease the percentage value.

Save as Default. Click the Save as Default button to save your current selections on this dialog as a new style, which will become the default document style for all subsequent graphs. Note that clicking this button will overwrite the current default document style, and may therefore change all objects in the current graph created using the previous default document style. After you click this button, a message will be displayed warning you of this fact.

Styles saved as defaults can be reset to their original parameter values in the Documents/Graphs: Settings options pane in the Options dialog or by choosing the Revert to unmodified command from the menu obtained by right-clicking the Style box or clicking on the button next to the Style box.  

Style. Use the Style box to select from a variety of document styles. Note that when you select a style from this list, the appropriate boxes (e.g., Width, Height, Left, Top, Right, Bottom) are modified to fit the chosen style.  

Styles. Click the Styles button to display the Graphics Styles dialog in which you can edit, create, and apply styles.
