Graph printing format

Introduction

If you right click on a graph, a menu will appear. One of the options shown is Format graph..., and selecting it will open the Graph format window. This window is divided into four pages, of which the last is used to specify options to use when printing graphs - see figure 1.

Details

In fact, there's only one 'Printing' option, which is to choose whether graphs should be printed using patterns or colours.

On the screen, ANY-maze will always display graphs using different colours for different series. However if you print such a graph on a black and white printer, the colours are converted to shades of grey, some of which may appear to be almost identical.

For this reason it's a good idea, when printing on a black and white printer, to print graphs using patterns for the different series and you can do this by checking the box shown here.

By the way, you don't have to use this option only for black and white printers; you can use it for colour printers too - this is a good idea if you expect you'll photocopy the printouts or if you simply want to save colour ink.

Note that this option can also be set using the Printing settings on the Options page.

This option ONLY affects printed graphs. On screen, ANY-maze always uses different colours for different series.
