Other Graph Window Operations

This section provides more details about the types of operations you can perform while the Graph window is on the display.

uTo change the appearance of a graph by dragging a point

While a graph is on the Graph window, use the stylus to drag any one of its data points to change the configuration of the graph.

You can change curves, make bars or columns longer or shorter, or change the size of pie graph sections.

Changing a graph automatically changes the graph’s data on the Spreadsheet window.

Drag

Changes

If a regression curve is displayed for the data whose graph is being changed by dragging, the regression curve also changes automatically in accordance with the drag changes.

When you edit data in the spreadsheet and press E, your graph will update automatically.

Important!

You can drag a point only if it corresponds to a fixed value on the spreadsheet. You cannot drag a point if it corresponds to a formula.

You may encounter the message “Insufficient System Memory to Run...” if you are using a large amount of data and formulas.

uTo use drag and drop to obtain the data of a graph

While a graph is on the Graph window, you can select a part of the graph (point, bar, etc.) and drop it into a Spreadsheet window cell. This will import the graph data into the spreadsheet. The data that is imported depends on the graph type.

Dragging this to a cell in theCreates a table containing these values starting from the
spreadsheet window:cell where you dropped the data:

 

 

A point of a line graph, a column of a

All of the values in the series associated with the point, column,

column graph, or a bar of a bar graph

or bar

 

 

A point of a scatter graph

All (x, y) values of the series associated with the point

 

 

A pieces of a pie graph

A percentage value relative to the entire pie graph

 

 

Any of the bins of a histogram graph

The values of the histogram graph

 

 

Any of the Q1, Q3, Med, Min, or Max
