Use external graphics viewers + save graphics.

This option requires that you've specified external graphics viewers on the Viewers tab if you want to save graphics into some other format than MatLab fig files.

 

Display vertical grid lines in graphs (perpendicular to X axis).

Turns vertical grid lines on.

 

Display horizontal grid lines in graphs (perpendicular to Y axis).

Turns horizontal grid lines on.

 

Display depth grid lines in graphs (perpendicular to Z axis).

Turns depth grid lines on.

 

Toggle axes plot box on in graphs.

Creates a box containing a right y-axis and a top x-axis in addition to the standard left y-axis and bottom x-axis.

 

Use colors in graphs.

By default SVAR creates grey scale graphs. By selecting this option it will use colors instead.

 

Use 'zbuffer' as default graph renderer.

By default SVAR uses the painters renderer for most graphs (not for 3D surfaces). By selecting this option the software will use the faster and more accurate 'zbuffer' renderer. OpenGL is currently not supported by SVAR.

 

Fix labels on Y axis to match data units.

For certain data units (very big or very small) the labels on the Y axis are by default not specified in the same units as the data. For example, a tick mark at the value 0.005 may be displayed as 5 while "x 10^(-3)" displayed just above the Y axis. By check marking this option, SVAR will force the label at the tick mark to display 0.005 instead and the marking "x 10^(-3)" will disappear. All such labels are justified to the right so that all labels on the Y axis line up nicely (independent on which side of the box they appear on).

 

Fix labels on X axis to match data units.

For certain data units (very big or very small) the labels on the X axis are by default not specified in the same units as the data. For example, a tick mark at the value 0.005 may be displayed as 5 while "x 10^(-3)" displayed just below and to the right of the X axis. By check marking this option, SVAR will force the label at the tick mark to display 0.005 instead and the marking "x 10^(-3)" will disappear.

 

Page Setup.

Opens a "Page Setup" dialog from which paper orientation, paper type, paper units, color or black and white printing, and paper position can be set at default values for graphs. For the stand-alone release it is also possible to select cropping of images when the image format is created by a version of Ghostscript which supports the -dEPSCrop switch.

 

Default graphics format.

By default SVAR saves graphics files in Encapsulated PostScript format when you've chosen to use external graphics viewers + save graphics above. Here you can change the graphics format to any format supported by MatLab's graphics. For example, by choosing the MatLab fig format you get a copy of the graph in the same directory as your output file and MatLab will display the graph. Whenever you wish to view this graph again you can open it from the main program window by selecting the file when clicking on e.g. the "View Graphics File" button; see Supported Graphics for additional information.

 

Axes Font.

Set the axes font in figures. The default is system dependent, e.g., regular Arial at 7 points in Windoze.

 

Title Font.

Set the title font in figures. The default is system dependent, e.g., regular Arial at 8 points in Windoze.

 

Label Font.

Set the label font in figures. The default is system dependent, e.g., regular Arial at 7 points in Windoze.

 

Axes Color.

Set the axes font color in figures. The default is black.

 

Title Color.

Set the title font color in figures. The default is black.

 

Label Color.

Set the label font color in figures. The default is black.
