Setting Graph and Grid Options 
When a patient is selected in the main Vitals window, 
 existing vitals data values are displayed in a graph and a grid on the 
 right side of the window. See Viewing 
 Vitals Data for information about setting date ranges or graph types. 
 
You can customize the graph by setting the Graph Options 
 check boxes, by changing the zoom percentage, and by changing the background 
 color. You can customize the grid display by setting 
 user options. 
To set graph options: 

	From the View menu, select 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 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 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.
