Adjusting Your Graphs
If you open a graph that represents a very large number of data points, you
may see black lines, as in the figure below.
Figure 175. Graph containing many data points
Choose fewer analytes or samples, and your columns will widen, so that the
analyte color codes can be represented.
Zoom into your graph by clicking and dragging over any area of interest, as
shown in Figure 168. To return to the original view, click Zoom Out from the
toolbar.
Another option is to print your graph on multiple pages, which allows the bars
to be much wider. See the Printing Graphs section below.
Printing Graphs
Access the controls to print your graphs from the toolbar, the right-click
context menu, or the File menu.
Figure 176. Print Graph dialog
When the graph containing many data points from Figure 175 is printed onto
four pages, the color-coded columns are visible. To preview how your graph
will look printed over multiple pages, click the Go to Preview button.
The Print Graph dialog allows you to print your graph on a specific number of
pages, to choose a landscape or portrait orientation, and to preview the
printed copy.
