To Define a Graph Template

You use graph templates to define the appearance of graphs. To create a graph template, you define the visuals for one graph and save the template for that graph. When you save the graph template, only the data properties, host information and the template gets saved. The actual graph state at the time of saving is not saved. To apply that template to new graphs so that they have the same look, see To Apply a Graph Template.

1. Save the properties for a graph as explained in To Save Graphing Parameters.

2. To save the custom features that you have applied to your graph, choose Save Template from the Graph menu in the Graphing window.

   The Save Template function enables you to save any custom features that you have added to your graph. These features can include axis labeling, headers, footers, legend, and so on.

3. Type the name for this template in the Enter Template Name field.

4. Click the Save button.
