Setting Graph Options
In the main Vitals Lite window, any existing vitals data
values for the selected patient are displayed in a graph and a grid on
the right side of the window. See Viewing
Vitals Data for information about a selecting date range or graph
type.
You can customize the graph by setting the Graph Options
check boxes, changing the zoom percentage, or changing the background
color of the graph.
The data grid cannot be customized.
To set graph options:
- From the File menu, select Show/Hide Graph Options.
Four check boxes open on the left side of the graph:
- Click the Values check box to display a numeric label
for each point on the graph.
- Click the Time Scale check box to view the graph in
actual
time instead of in evenly distributed intervals. You can click
on a data value in the graph to see additional information about
the vitals that were entered that day.
- Click the 3D check box to create a 3D effect on the
graph. This option is only available when the Time Scale
check box has been checked.
- Click the Allow Zoom check box to zoom
the graph view in or out.
- To change the zoom percentage, enter a new value in the Zoom
Percent text box. This value defines the "zoom in" and
"zoom out" buttons (the two magnifying glass icons). Click
the Reset Zoom button (the circular red arrow icon) to reset
the Zoom Percent box to its default value (10).
- To change the background color of the graph, choose Select Graph
Color from the File menu. Click a color in the palette,
then click OK to apply the color setting.
