You can set or edit the appearance for a defined column using the Options Tab.
Point Protectors: A point protector is a distinctively-shaped
marker placed on top of a data point. Point protectors can be used to
identify runs or sensors, or simply to make points more visible.
Selecting Auto means that a graphed column of data will have about
eight point protectors.
Color: Assigns a color to the title and data.
Error Bar Calculations: This can also be adjusted from the Column
Options Window. In this style of 2D range plot, the ranges or
error bars are defined by the raw values in the selected variables. The
midpoints are represented by point markers.
Displayed Precision: Selects the displayed precision of data
table entries in terms of significant figures or decimal places.
Select a number from the drop-down menu for either significant figures
or decimal places.
Selecting Automatic will apply the most recently added number of
decimal places to all previous and subsequent cells. For example, if
you enter 3.4, 4.5, 6.2, with decimal places on Automatic, the
column will display
to 1 decimal place. However if you enter a number with more decimal
places (4.56), the column will now display two places everywhere. The
display thus uses the number of decimal places necessary to show the
value entered (so far) with the largest number of decimal places.
Automatic only applies for events with entry mode and manual
columns, and only if the option is set to decimal places.
