Plot Point Measurements

The Plot Point Measurements tool marks points in a Plot Window. The commands in the point plotting package originate in a docking pane toolbar that may be opened, closed, and tabified. The plot series and point coordinates are accrued in the Points grid pane for the plot window. The toolbar opens with Marking Mode active. Marker properties are set in the Marker Properties dialog opened from the button on the toolbar. To disable the active marking mode, use the arrow button at the bottom of the pane.

To activate the Point Measurements toolbar, click on the Image Measurements Toolbar or the Plot Bar, or use the command in the pull-down main menu for Plot Windows.

The following picture shows a Plot Window with several points marked on the graph. This picture shows each of the markers available from the Shape Properties page of the Marker Properties dialog. The point measurement results accrue in the Points Docking Pane at the bottom of the Plot Window. To reduce the screen space used by the Points pane, use its stick-pin to tabify it on the Plot Window border.

Measurement Results

The point data are tabulated in the Points grid like the one shown above. This is a Docking Pane that attaches initially to the bottom border of the Plot Window but may be moved, tabified, and so on. The results listed in the grid may be sorted, rearranged, saved to the clipboard or a file, and so on. The items in this report are described in the table below.
