This displays the display options dialog, as shown in Figure 29.10.
The dialog contains the following options:
Background | specifies either Black or White background. |
Foreground | specifies either Color or Monochrome foreground. Monochrome display improves printed output by removing shades of gray used to approximate color. |
Show Menu Buttons | governs the display of pop-up menu buttons in all windows. Turn this option off to remove menu buttons. |
Show Buttons and Sliders | governs the display of all buttons and sliders except menu buttons. Turn this option off to remove buttons and sliders. |
Fill Bars and Boxes | specifies the use of pattern fill in bar charts, box plots, and mosaic plots. Turn this option off to display empty bars and boxes. On slower hosts, turning this option off improves display speed as well as printed output. |
Show Graph Frames | In nonrotating plots, this option specifies whether the two axes are displayed as two disjoint line segments or are joined together as part of a frame. |
Curve Width | sets the default width of curves in pixels. On most hosts, a width of 1 pixel maximizes display speed. |
Border Width | sets the default width of graph and table borders in pixels. When you are printing with a black background, increasing border width improves the display of graphs and tables. |
Interior Lines | sets the display of lines within the data window and analysis tables. Solid produces solid lines; Halftone produces a dimmer line; None removes interior lines. Solid and None settings improve display speed on personal computers. |
The figures in this book are produced with Foreground set to Monochrome and Curve Width set to 2 pixels. Most figures have Show Graph Frames turned off.
To set window options, choose Edit:Windows:Window Options. This displays the window options dialog.
The dialog contains the following options:
To see the effects of various display, window, and graph options, follow these steps.
Create a fit analysis for the model NO_RBI = NO_HITS. |
Use the techniques described in Chapter 13, "Fitting Curves."
This creates the fit analysis shown in Figure 29.13.
Choose Edit:Windows:Display Options to display the display options dialog. |
Click on the toggle button for Show Menu Buttons. |
Recall that the figures here already have Foreground set
to Monochrome and Curve Width set to 2 pixels.
Click OK to set the display options and close the dialog. |
Choose Edit:Windows:Window Options to display the window options dialog. |
Set the Default Margin to 1 mm. |
Click OK to set the window options and close the dialog. |
Choose Edit:Windows:Graph Options to display the graph options dialog. |
Set the Marker Size to 100%. |
Click OK to set the graph options and close the dialog. |
Choose Edit:Windows:Renew in the fit analysis window. |
This displays the fit analysis variables dialog.
Click OK in the variables dialog. |
This redisplays the fit analysis with the modified option settings.
Contrast Figure 29.17 with Figure 39.
Note that the menu buttons are no longer displayed, the space
between the tables and graphs is reduced, and the marker size
is increased.
