2. Drag on one of the corners to resize.

Delete a column or data set

Choose DELETE DATA SET or DELETE COLUMN from the DATA

columns will be unchanged.

Sort the data

You can re-order your data based on any column. Select SORT DATA

dialog from the DATA menu where you can choose the column and

MANUAL COLUMN from the DATA menu. Check the GENERATE

COLUMN box in the COLUMN DEFINITION table.

You can then scroll the list of the values or labels you want.

Click OK, and the new column will be added to your current data set.

Interpolate or extrapolate from the

regression line or fitted curve of the

data.

Perform a curve fit, then choose INTERPOLATE from the ANALYZE

menu.

Have all data to appear on the graph

at once.

Click on the AUTOSCALE button.

Zoom In, Zoom Out

Click on the + to zoom in; click on the – to zoom out.

Examine values of data points.

Click on the EXAMINE button; move cursor across graph.

Click on the SLOPE button; move cursor across graph.

Determine statistics of data set.

Select range of data, then click on STATISTICS button.

Determine the area under a curve.

Select range of data, then click on the INTEGRATE button.

Perform a linear fit for data.

Select all or part of data, then click on the LINEAR FIT button.

Perform a curve fit for data.

Select all or part of data, then click on the CURVE FIT button.

Plot two sets of data on the same

graph.

Enter first data set (x, y). Click on DATA:NEW DATA SET. Enter second

data set (x, y). Click on OPTIONS:GRAPH OPTIONS… (or double click

on the graph). Click on AXES OPTIONS. Under Y-Axis Columns, click on

Produce one graph with one independent variable X, and two or more dependent variables Y and Z. Create appropriate data columns and a graph of X vs. Y will automatically appear. To include Z on the graph, click on the graph’s Y variable and a selection window will appear. Click on Z to add it to the variables plotted. Close the variable selection window and the new graph will appear. See the example graph below. Produce two separate graphs on same page with variables (X, Y) and (R, S). Create appropriate data columns and a graph of X vs. Y will automatically appear. To add the second graph, click on INSERT:GRAPH and a new graph appears; select the independent and/or dependent axis as necessary selecting R or S appropriately. Click on PAGE:AUTO ARRANGE and the two graphs will then be appropriately resized to fit the page.
