For graphic reports such as bar charts and reach curves, a cluster of widgets appears in the lower left of your document:

Copying and Saving Graphics

 

Copy Chart

Copy the current graphic to the system clipboard.  From there you can paste it into Word, Excel or elsewhere.

Copy Data

Very cool.  This copies the actual numeric values used to create the graphic.  You might use this to paste values into Excel and create any kind of chart you want, or to do further special analyses.

Save ...

Instead of putting the graphic or data on the clipboard, this saves it to a file.  You will be asked if you want to save a graphic or a text file of values.

 

 

Making it Prettier

 

Or uglier, if you so desire.  Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.  Here are some things you can do:

 

"What" popup

What element of the graphic do you want to re-color: the background, a select plot line, the axes, etc.

Color popup

Choose a color for the selected element

3D

Make it pop.  Or not.

Obl

Set the graphic on an oblique.  Once you set a graphic to 3D and oblique, you can drag it around with your mouse for different angles and views.

Thick

Thicken up the plot lines for clarity

Axes

Show or remove all axis labelling

Color

Use color, or black and white (for printing)

Theme

Choose from a variety of pre-designed themes

Edit

Use a comprehensive editing tool to do untold wonders to your graphic

Adj legend

Where does the legend go: right, bottom, left, top, or gone!
