Configuring a Graph or Chart with the Shortcut Menu

You can access basic configuration options for graphs and charts by right-clicking the graph or chart and opening the shortcut menu.

Right-click a graph or chart and select one of the following shortcut menu options to configure a graph or chart.
  • Stack Plots: Displays multiple plots on the chart by using multiple vertical scales. Remove the checkmark from this shortcut menu option to overlay the plots and display multiple plots on the chart by using a single vertical scale.

    This option is available only for charts.

  • Chart History Length: Launches the Chart History Length dialog box.

    This option is available only for charts.

  • Transpose Array: Switches the x data and y data before plotting. You also can use the Transpose Array property to switch the x data and y data before plotting programmatically.
  • Autosize Plot Legend: Automatically resizes the plot legend to the width of the longest plot name visible in the legend.
    Note On a digital waveform graph, Autosize Plot Legend is visible only when the plot legend is in standard view.

You also can configure the x-axis and y-axis on a graph or chart from the shortcut menu.
