Plots are useful for many purposes, such as extracting data from two or three dimensional objects and model verification. Plots are created through the Plot Wizard. Once the plot has been created, the appearance and data of the plot can be altered with commands accessed by right-clicking on the plot window. The commands available through the right-click menu are described below.
The plot data command brings up the second step of the plot wizard where the attributes of each plot are set. The plot data can be updated based upon the type of plot. For Histogram plots it brings up a dialog used to edit the precision displayed on the plot.
The Display Options command allows you to change general display attributes of the plot (Border Style, Precision, Axis type, Fonts, Colors, etc.).
The axis titles menu is used to change the x and y axis titles.
