e plot page is automatically brought to the front by the program when a simulation is completed. This enables the user to quickly see the results, which are displayed as graphs of energy against counts. The plot page also contains tools for zooming and translating the graph display, as well as creating figures by editing axis titles, adding annotations and so on.

The graph display properties

Some basic properties of the graph display can be set using the display properties pane on the right of the view. Editing is enabled for the display range and titles of the axii, graph colors and filling etc. Use the following controls:

The X-Axis (energy) properties can be reached by expanding the X-Axis compartment:
The 'X-Axis properties' compartment

Click  the green '+' to expand this compartment. The X-axis properties will then be revealed.
The 'X-Axis title' field

In this field you can set the title for the x-axis. The font of the title can be changed using the button to the right of this field. Note that you need to press enter after you have typed the new title for the changes to be reflected in the graph display.
The 'X-Axis plot range' button

This button lets you specify the x-axis (energy) range to be displayed in the graph display. This button enables the range fields to its right that can be used to specify the minimum and maximum energy value (in MeV) to be displayed. Hint: pressing this button when it is selected will redraw the graph display with the values of the range fields, this can useful when using the zoom or pan tools.
The 'X-Axis plot auto' button

This button selects automatical determination of plot range. When this button is selected and a new graph is introduced into the graph display, the display range on x-axis will be set to be the minimum and maximum of the graphs in the graph display. Effectively ensuring that all data contained in the graphs is shown. Hint: pressing this button when it is selected will determine the range and redraw the graph display, this can useful when using the zoom or pan tools.
The 'Linear X-Axis' button

This button selects linear scale to be used in the graph display for the x-axis. 
The 'Logarithmic X-Axis' button

This button selects logarithmic scale to be used in the graph display for the x-axis. 

For the Y-Axis (counts) properties:
The 'Y-Axis properties' compartment

Click  the green '+' to expand this compartment. The Y-axis properties will then be revealed.

The 'Y-Axis title' field

In this field you can set the title for the x-axis. The font of the title can be changed using the button to the right of this field. Note that you need to press enter after you have typed the new title for the changes to be reflected in the graph display.
The 'Y-Axis plot range' button

This button lets you specify the x-axis (energy) range to be displayed in the graph display. This button enables the range fields to its right that can be used to specify the minimum and maximum energy value (in MeV) to be displayed. Hint: pressing this button when it is selected will redraw the graph display with the values of the range fields, this can useful when using the zoom or pan tools.
The 'Y-Axis plot auto' button

This button selects automatical determination of plot range. When this button is selected and a new graph is introduced into the graph display, the display range on x-axis will be set to be the minimum and maximum of the graphs in the graph display. Effectively ensuring that all data contained in the graphs is shown. Hint: pressing this button when it is selected will determine the range and redraw the graph display, this can useful when using the zoom or pan tools.
The 'Linear Y-Axis' button

This button selects linear scale to be used in the graph display for the x-axis. 
The 'Logarithmic Y-Axis' button

This button selects logarithmic scale to be used in the graph display for the x-axis. 

For the displayed graphs:

The 'Graph properties' compartment

Click  the green '+' to expand this compartment. The graph properties will then be revealed.


The graph selection list

This list is used to select a graph to be set as currently selected. Once a graph is selected, its properties will then be displayed below for editing. It is noteworthy that the graph displayed at this list is also used in some other places, most notably when saving graphs. See....
The graph title field

This field is used to give edit the name of the graph. The name is used only as the displayname in the graph selection list, but most users would rather give the graphs a more descriptive name.
The graph color field

This field is used to edit the color of the graph in the graph display. Clicking on this field will popup a color selector from which the desired color can be picked.
The graph width field

This field is used to edit the width of the graph in the graph display. Not that widths smaller than 1 are allowed.
The fill graph checkbox

Checking this box will make the space between the graph and the X-Axis (energy) appear filled by the graph color. This can be useful when comparing many graphs to a specific graph.

Navigating the graph display

Sometimes it is desirable to view an area of interest in the graph without displaying the whole range of the energy spectrum. In such case, you may use the following controls:

The 'zoom tool' toggle button

This button toggles the zoom tool on. Left-clicking on the graph display will then increase zoom in the view, displaying more detail near the clicked point. Right-clicking decreases zoom, displaying less detail but larger range. Dragging the mouse zooms to a specific region, specified by the drag rectangle. Dragging the mouse outside the axis will constrain the zoom to the nearest axis.
The 'pan tool' toggle button

This button toggles the pan tool on. Dragging on the graph display will move the display to the direction of the drag. Dragging the mouse outside the axis will contrain movement to the nearest axis.
The 'reset view' button

This button resets the view so that the whole spectrum range will be visible.

The graph display can also be navigated using the range fields on the display properties pane, or using the zoom menu and associated keyboard shortcuts.

Annotating a figure

The figure that is shown on the graph display can be annotated by adding text and lines. There are two types of each object to add, plain objects and tag objects, e.g. for text there are text objects and text tag objects. The difference between the two is that plain objects are not affected by navigation such as zoom and pan, whereas the tag objects are. The plain objects are therefore suitable for adding a figure title or explanation of what the figure is about. The tag objects could be used for instance to add an explanation for a peak in the figure, in this case when the peak is panned out of view, the annotation would also.

To add or edit an annotation use the following controls:

The selection tool

This button toggles the selection tool on. When this tool is selected, the anchors of the annotations are displayed and you can select annotations using them. Click on the anchor to select the annotations, subsequent click lets you edit text, drag will move the annotation.

The 'Annotations  Add text' menu item

This item toggles the text annotation tool on. When this item is selected, left-clicking on the graph display will add a text annotation to the position of the click. You may then type in the text and use the button to the left of the textfield to change the font. To edit a previous text annotation use the select tool, select the lower left corner of the text annotation and left-click twice.
The 'Annotations Add line' menu item

This button toggles the line annotation tool on. When this tool is selected, dragging the mouse in the graph display will result in a line annotation being added between the starting and ending point of the drag. To edit a previous line annotation use the select tool, select the beginning or ending point of the line and drag it to a new location.
The 'Annotations Add text tag' menu item

This button item the text tag tool on. When this tool is selected, left-clicking on the graph display will add a text tag to the position of the click. Note that you must add the tag into the visible space between the axii..
The 'Annotations Add line tag' menu item

This item toggles the line tag tool on. When this tool is selected, dragging the mouse in the graph display will result in a line annotation being added between the starting and ending point of the drag. Note that you must add the line tag into the visible space between the axii.
