Displays a dialog box containing viewing options. Here is what you’ll see if you are displaying a Graph View:

Figure 97: Graph Options Dialog Box

The following describes the meaning of these check boxes:

Lines

When set, the Visualizer displays lines connecting dataset elements.

Points

When set, the Visualizer displays markers for dataset elements.

Transpose

When set, the Visualizer inverts the X and Y axes of the displayed graph.

Here is what you’ll see if you are displaying a Surface View:

Figure 98: Surface Options Dialog Box

The following describes the meaning of these check boxes:

Surface

If this option is set, the Visualizer displays the array’s data as a three dimensional surface. If you don’t set this option, the Visualizer displays the surface in two dimensions.

XY

If this option is set, the Visualizer reorients the view’s XY axes.

Auto Reduce

If this option is set, the Visualizer derives the displayed surface by averaging over neighboring elements in the original dataset. This speeds up visualization by reducing the resolution of the surface. Clear this option if you want to accurately visualize all dataset elements.

The Auto Reduce option lets you choose between viewing all your data points—which takes longer to appear in the display—or viewing the averaging of data over a number of nearby points.

File > Delete

Deletes the View Window’s dataset from the dataset list. This also destroys any other View Windows viewing the dataset.

File > Close

Closes the View Window.

Window > New Base Window

Creates a new View Window using the same visualization method and dataset as the current View Window.
