				 AXIS LEGENDS

By default, Graphmatica labels the hatch marks across the graph with the
number of their coordinate so that you can more easily locate points or find
the coordinates of a graphed point. In some cases, though, especially when
doing graphs near the axes, the numbers can be confusing and you may want to
turn them off. To do this, select the Legends option in the Labels menu. In
the choice box, select the None button.

If you find that the interval that is automatically chosen for the grid
spacing is not well-suited to your task, select the Custom spacing button and
you will be prompted for the increments you prefer for the X and Y axes. Next,
you can choose between two behaviors when the grid size changes: 1) Lock the
legend spacing to the values you selected, or 2) Scale the grid spacing along
with the grid itself. Unfortunately, neither option will be likely to satisfy
you if you change the grid spacing by a non-integer factor or by too much, so
you may have to reset the spacing to more suitable increments again manually.

To go back to the default behavior, select the Automatic spacing button in the
Axis Legends dialog.

			 ADDING TITLES TO YOUR GRAPHS

To add a title line and/or labels along the sides to your graph, select Titles
from the Labels menu. You can type in a new title, edit one you typed in
previously, or delete the title by pressing enter on the blank line. For the
y-axis labels, the length of the string you can use depends on the number of
rows you monitor has: CGA and EGA can hold 23 letters and VGA can hold 28. The
program presents you with the previous label which you can edit, discard by
pressing ESC and typing a new string, or turn off completely by pressing ESC.

When you print (or Print Preview), the title is written across the top of the
screen, and it is automatically centered (don't try to center the title
manually). When you are graphing and the menu is active, the title line is not
shown.  Like the title, the y-axis labels are automatically centered
(vertically) on the graph. Graphmatica does not draw these labels until you
print or print Preview, since they are intended mainly to enhance printing.





					   Press PgDn for help on Annotations.
				  ANNOTATIONS
Annotations are short text phrases which you can place anywhere on the grid to
label important points on your graphs. Graphmatica maintains a list of up to
ten 30-character annotations. To add an annotation to the graph, select
Annotate from the Labels menu. Type in the text you wish to use and press
enter. Now a crosshair cursor will appear. Move it with the keyboard or mouse
to the position where you want the upper-left corner of the text. Then click
the left button or press enter to paste it down. The text will appear on the
screen immediately. Remember that it is associated with a logical x,y
coordinate on the grid, not with the physical point you clicked on or with any
particular equation. Also note that annotations that would run off the screen
cannot be drawn. You must zoom out so they are fully on the screen before they
will appear.

To edit a previously entered annotation, select the Edit Annote menu item from
the Labels menu. Next choose the annotation to edit from the listbox. You can
then choose the delete the annotation, change its text, or change its
position. Pressing Esc at this prompt instead leaves the annotation unchanged.
All of the annotations you have entered will be saved with any equation list
you save, and will automatically be displayed again when you reload it. Like
the graph title, the current annotations are cleared before loading a new file
and when you Clear all of the equations from the redraw queue.
