parameters option. A dialog box such as the one shown on [fig. 10] will show up. You are asked here to
toggle the parameters you want to be visible in a chart/table. In order to select parameters, click on the
check boxes, on the left side of parameters’ names [fig. 10, box 2]. In case you would like to make visible
