The Chart Control Panel
The chart control panel provides you with an easy way to turn elements of the chart on or off, to annotate the chart and to manipulate which part of the data is being displayed.
The upper part of the chart control panel contains some of the functions you can also find on the toolbar. These are replicated here to give you easy, convenient access in one location. These include scaling functions, time axis and inspection mark zoom.
Upper Chart Control Panel
The lower part of the Chart Control Panel controls what additional information is displayed on the chart. The default values for the various grid lines, markers and shadings are set in Edit - Options - Charts.
The options you set in the chart control panel are stored with the chart, provided you save the file after you have made the changes in the chart.
At a later stage, if you wish to return to the default settings you can click Reset do defaults.
You may also receive charts from other users with settings different to your own. These charts can also be reset to default values using this method.
