USING THE PLOT WINDOW

The software includes powerful plotting capabilities which allow you to view and

compare data in graphical format. The plot interface has been designed so that

almost all plot features may be accessed directly from the plot window. You may

use menu commands if you ﬁnd it easier, of course. Menu commands are

explained separately below. When the Plot window is active, a Plot menu and a

Color menu are added to the main menu bar and some new commands (Open

Plot, Save Plot, Open Plot Template, and Save Plot Template) are added to the File

menu. The use of the Plot menu, Colors menu, and the Open and Save commands

are explained below.

The three most basic elements of any plot are the variables (the weather condi-

tions you are plotting), the date, and the plot span (the length of time over which

you are plotting those conditions). The software allows you to quickly and simply

select those three elements and also includes many other useful features which

make it easier to view and compare data. Almost all of the plot features may be

accessed directly from the plot window.
