Outputting the Graph

To speed up the graphing process so the graph is not redrawn after every change, set graph drawing to Manual by selecting Options from the Tools menu and setting Graph Draw under the GDD Tab to Manual.

You can then redraw the graph by clicking Draw Graph Now or by clicking View » Draw Graph Now.

Previewing and Printing the Graph

You can preview or print the graph using the options on the File menu. Print and Print Preview show the graph exactly as displayed in the GDD window. For complete details on using these options, see Printing Data and Previewing Data.

To preview your graph, do one of the following:

• Click Print Preview

• Click File » Print Preview

• Press ALT+F, and then V

To print your graph, do one of the following:

• Click Print

• Click File » Print

• Press Ctrl+P

MPM displays the standard Windows dialog box asking you for number of copies, etc.

Copying/Exporting Graph Data

You can copy a graph (and/or graph data) to the Windows clipboard, if you wish to paste the data into another Windows application.

• If you are viewing a graph, click Edit » Copy Graph, or press Ctrl+C. Both the graph, and the data the graph was derived from the graph, are copied to the clipboard. If the application you are pasting the graph into has Paste Special capabilities, you can choose whether to paste the graph or the text.

• If you are viewing a grid, select the information to copy by clicking the mouse button and dragging it through the desired rows and columns, then click Edit » Copy Cells, or press Ctrl+C. If at least one entire row or one entire column is selected, the column and row titles are also copied to the clipboard.

This option is unavailable if the Draw Graph option is set to Manual and the graph is not current.
