Printing and saving results

useful if you wish to send one by email, put it on a website, or paste it in to a

document. If they are compressed too heavily, they can lose resolution and

detail, and spoil colours.

The Native (*.tee) format saves all the chart attributes, and the data series,

rather than the image itself. This means that you can save the chart, and open it

again at a later date to edit it, using the free TeeReader software supplied on

the installation CD. Tee files tend to be very small indeed; often less than 1KB.

Moving Chart Labels

Click the Edit button to change a wide range of aspects of the graph, add titles,

and use various tools to customise the chart. One of the most useful tools allows

you to drag the chart labels   very useful if you have a cluster of points with

overlapping labels. Click the Edit button, then the Tools tab of the Edit dialog, the

Add... button, and choose  Drag Marks . When the chart is displayed, you will find

that the cursor displays as a hand symbol on hovering over a data label, allowing

you to drag the label to the desired position.

NOTE: any alteration of other aspects of the graph will cause the labels to return

to their original position. Therefore, moving the labels should be the last alteration

you make before printing or exporting the graph.

Drawing Lines

If the new

 method is not appropriate to your needs, you may

find it useful to draw lines on a chart, to separate groups or clusters of points, for

instance on an MDS plot (below).

Click the Chart Edit button, choose the Tools tab   Add... button, and from the

list of tools, choose Draw Line. If you click on the Pen button, you can specify

the type and colour of the line.

When you have made your choice, click  Close  to return to the program,

where you can simply draw lines with the mouse. Lines, once drawn, can be

dragged to the position required.

To alter the line type or colour, open the Tools tab again, click on Draw Line,

and make the changes you require.
