The Graph Section contains one large field displaying an xy graph control. The control displays the current graph's data values, curve segments, and region segments.

Clicking the left mouse button on the field's large graph control activates the XY Graph Attributes Dialog. The dialog provides numerous capabilities for editing axes, labels, ticks, and notes.

1	Graph Display Control: displays the graph, data values, curve segments, region segments, notes, and shapes.
2	Title Button: activates the XY Graph Title Dialog which enables you to enter text which will be displayed as a title at the top of the graph.
3	Area Button: activates the Graph Area Attributes Dialog which enables you to gridline, area spacing, and area color attributes. See below for documentation.
4	X and Y Label Buttons: activates the Graph Axis Label Dialog which enables you to enter the text value displayed on each axis.
5	X and Y Axis Buttons: activates the Graph Axis Attributes Dialog which enables you to edit axis thickness, number of divisions, and line color. See below for documentation.
6	X and Y Ticks Buttons: activates the Graph Ticks Attributes Dialog which enables you to edit tick dimensions, line color, position, number format, and font. See below for documentation.
7	Notes Button: activates the Graph Notes Dialog which enables you to add notes (short text values) to the current graph. See below for documentation.
8	Shapes Button: activates the Graph Shapses Dialog which enables you to add various shapes, e.g., ellipses, rectangles, lines, rulers, to the current graph. See Graph Shapes Dialog for documentation.

Each axis uses the Graph Axis Attributes dialog to change axis thickness, number of divisions, and color.

1	Tick Thickness Control: enables you to change the thickness of the tick's inside and outside line segments.
2	Label Spacing Control: enables you to change the distance between the end of the tick's outside line segment and the tick's label.
3	Tick Length Control: enables you to change the length of the tick's inside and outside line segments.
4	Line Color Control: enables you to change the color of the tick's inside and outside line segments.
5	Number Format Controls: enables you to specify the numerical format used to display tick labels.
6	Font Control: enables you to specify the font used to display tick labels.
7	Display Control: shows an example tick displayed using the currently selected attributes.

The Notes dialog enables you to create and position formatted text values at specific locations within the triangular graph.

The dialog displays attributes of each displayed note. (Several additional attributes are not displayed in the table but are available for editing by using the Note Edit Dialog.)

1	Note Text: the text displayed on the graph.
2	X Value: the x coordinate at which the note is displayed.
3	Y Value: the y coordinate at which the note is displayed.
4	Angle: the angle at which the note's text is displayed.
5	Anchor: indicates which position within the displayed text is located at the given coordinates.
6	Transparent: specifies if the note's text is displayed with a solid colored or transparent background.

The Notes dialog also provides several controls for manipulating the displayed notes data.

7	Edit Button: activates the Note Edit Dialog which enables you to change the attributes of the selected note datum. See below for documentation.
8	Commands Button: pressing the dialog's Commands button or clicking the right mouse button on the table control displays the commands menu. This menu provides standard commands for copying, pasting, and clearing graph notes. See the documentation on Common Menu Commands for details.
9	Sort Button: the dialog's Sort button will be enabled if two or more rows are selected. Pressing the Sort button will activate the Sort Attribute dialog. This dialog enables you to sort graph notes in ascending or descending order by several attributes.
10	Offset Button: the dialog's Offset button will be enabled if two or more rows are selected. Pressing the Offset button will activate the Offset Notes Dialog. This dialog prompts for delta-x and delta-y values that will be added to the locations of all selected notes.
11	Add Rows Button: pressing the Add Rows button will add rows to the bottom of the table control.

Pressing the Graph Notes dialog's Edit button or double-clicking the left mouse button on a row in the dialog's table control activates the Graph Note edit dialog. This dialog enables you to edit a graph note's attributes.
