Graph Toolbar

Use the Graph Toolbar to conveniently specify options for the display of your graph. If a toolbar component does not apply to the selected object, then it is disabled until you select an object that it does apply to. For example, because the Font Color button does not affect the plot area of a graph, the Font Color button is disabled when you select the plot area. The following table displays the toolbar icons in the left column, followed by a description.
