Here is an image of the graph. The black 3/8" is a note I added for testing. The red labels are Curve Labels.

Graph Curve Legend

I have a graph with multiple lines and would like to note what line is what. In this case, the lines are pipe sizes. I used the Text>Legend/Labels and put the pipe size in the "Curve Label". This will put the legend on the curve/line. However, it puts the text over top of the line which ob...

I am not sure I understand why you would want to do what you mentioned, this is just to say, I don't know why, not that you wouldn't want to do that. I do not use bar graphs much and was only doing this graph to help me visualize something. Below is what I was talking about, in case there was any co...

Bar Chart X-Axis Label

I made a Bar Chart (label, Y1,Y2...). The labels are names which have around 15 characters in them, so they display vertically. When I add an X-Axis Title, it displays over top of the X-axis Labels. I was assuming it would push down below the labels. I'm just mentioning this since I noticed it, it i...

Specify Plot Size

I'm using standard letter, landscape, default margins (around 0.2) page. When I do NOT check "Specify plot size" under Extents, the graph fills the page. both on screen and when I print. If I check "Specify plot size", I can't seem to get over a 9" x 9" size. I understa...

Sorry, when I said major I meant "Tick mark interval on X (or Y) axis" and by minor I meant "Minor grid/tick divisions on X (or Y) axis". Both of these are found under Options, Extents/Intervals/Size. I'm not sure we are on the same page or not since you suggested three options f...

I just noticed that quite interestingly, the program automatically reduces the number of minor grid/tick lines between major lines when the major lines are close together. This is not unexpected, but the minor divisions can be reduced to something other than 10. When I set the major divisions to 1 a...

Log Minor Grid Lines

Is there a way to get anything other than 10 minor grid lines between major divisions in a log scale? Whenever I try to change the "Minor grid/tick divisions on Y (or X) axis" to anything other than "1", it puts in 10 minor divisions. Maybe this is inherent in a log scale but I w...

Extend Lines

I searched the forum and help file but could not find if this is possible, but I thought I have done it before. Can you enter data points and have it make a straight line through the points and extend to the edges of the graph limits even if the data does not go that far. Follow-up: I think I may ha...

Agreed, I do not have strong feelings on it so I would leave them alone :wink: I missed a lot of stuff. :oops: As I said, I only installed the program, ran it, and made some graphs. Luckily I stumbled on the XYYY and XYXY macros in Excel, good thing you made note of them when it installs :) I can't ...

Yes, a), it changes when I save it, but it seems only the axis scales not the text parts. I sent you an email with three pictures of what happens, it's easier to understand, and maybe how it should work. Please don't waste time on it, I need to change the tick marks/intervals anyway which doesn't ca...

Curve Colors

Let me say that I was trying to make some graphs fast, downloaded the program, and with a few posts here was able to do what I needed without reading any of the directions. This says a lot about how easy the program is to use. I would suggest though that the default colors for the curves be organize...

Ok, I'm almost set. I need to use only the =TIME function in Excel, then paste the values so I get rid of the Day part, otherwise I have to figure out my scale each time adding the Day in, and I'm not sure there is enough precision for all that. When I make a graph using XYYY or XYXY, the use File, ...

I'm not sure if you miss-understood me or I am just confused. I agree you would not want to mess with Add-in for rounding and I don't want to round my numbers. I'll try to explain it another way. I go to Options, Extent/Tick Marks/Size. My X axis with the time is a bit uneven, so to speak, with the ...

Extents precision

Ok, your going to hate me now. When it brings in the time for the X axis, it evidently converts it to an integer. I know this since the extents it uses are 0.2 and 0.8 for the time (X axis). How it actually displays the time correctly is beyond me but impressive. :o So evidently you divide the actua...

That seems to work, but we still have the precision problem I am assuming. I plotted the "Date & Time" and just the "Time" alone and it seems the "Date & Time" dropped some points, or combined them since it probably rounded some of the values (due to your explan...

Since the samples are taken every 10 seconds, I think the precision issue will be a problem, so I guess I will do it via a CSV file. I'm assuming I could knock off the date oart and it would work ok? This is probably more work than it's worth though and teh CSV file would probably be quicker. BTW, t...

Dates

In the demo version I created a CSV file from my Excel data and imported it into DPlot. Everything seemed to work fine. When I got the registered version it includes a macro for XYYY or XYXY data which could be a real time saver. The problem is, it gives me an error when my X column is of this type ...
