Select a Plot

You can select a plot by clicking or right-clicking the plot. You right-click a plot to display a pop-up menu and perform operations on the selected plot, such as assigning data or changing the plot properties.

When you click or right-click a plot, the plot remains in full color. Any other plots in the cell appear dimmed. The following image shows a normal density curve that is selected. The histogram is dimmed.

If you right-click a plot and select Plot Properties from the pop-up menu, the Cell Properties dialog box appears and displays the selected plot in the Plot list box. The following display shows the Cell Properties dialog box with the normal density plot selected.

In the example, after you change the properties of the normal plot, you can select the histogram from the Plot list box and change the properties for that plot.

The Assign Data dialog box behaves in a similar way. When you open the dialog box from a particular plot, the selected plot is the active plot in the dialog box.
