Whenever you first view a result in GoldSim, it takes on a set of characteristics (e.g., fonts, axis titles, header) defined by a default chart style for that particular type of chart. In some cases, these default chart styles will be sufficient.
In other cases, however, you will want to customize the appearance of the chart. GoldSim allows you to do so. In addition, after customizing a set of properties for a particular type of chart, you can save this set as a new style which you can then selectively apply to subsequent charts (or set as the default for all subsequent charts of that type).
Selecting the Chart Style… button in any chart (or right-clicking on any chart and selecting Edit Chart Style from the context menu) displays the Chart Style dialog for editing the appearance of the chart:
This dialog allows you to edit the appearance of the chart (e.g., by modifying headers, footers, axis labels and scales, legends, etc.). To make it easier to modify and customize your charts, the same tabbed dialog is used for all chart types in GoldSim; some of the tabs and/or options, however, are hidden for those charts for which they are not applicable.
Note: When this dialog is
displayed, the Chart display stays active. If you modify some part of the
chart's appearance using the dialog and press the Apply button, the change is
applied to the Chart. This allows you to view changes without closing the
dialog.
The dialog has a number of tabs, which are described in the topics below.
