The most comprehensive way to format a graph is by using the Graph Options dialog, which allows for customizations of graph colors, fonts, axis scaling, displayed statistics, and many other options. This window is accessible from the Settings/Action button of any window that displays a graph. It can also be accessed quickly from any graph’s right-click menu.
The Graph Options window contains a large number of tabs, each with a large number of options. Certain tabs will be displayed for every type of graph, while others are shown or modified depending on the details of what the graph contains.
