Plot Toolbar

Plot Toolbar

The plot toolbar provides a range of actions for interacting with the current plot. On the left are buttons for opening new graphics devices, redrawing, saving, and closing the active plot. On the right are buttons that open panels for modifying the features of the plot.

IconNameDescription
New Plot WindowNew Plot Window

Opens up a new graphics window that uses the default R device instead of the 'container' used by iNZight. This has two particular uses:

  • To permit copying and pasting of graphics (including in metafile form) by right-clicking on the graphics window,
  • To permit easier resizing of the plotting window, including full screen.
New Plot TabNew Plot TabThis will create a new plot tab, allowing the currently displayed plot to be retained. Subsequent plots will use the new tab. You can switch between tabs by double-clicking on the tab you wish to plot into.
RedrawRedrawUse if the plot window seems to have stopped working or is not displaying your plot properly. It re-draws the data and usually corrects the error.
Rename Plot TabRename Plot TabUsed to rename the tab of the current plotting window.
Save PlotSave PlotEnables you to save the contents of the displayed plot as a file (in.jpeg, .png, .bmp, .tiff, or .pdf formats).
Close TabClose TabThis will close the current plot tab, not the iNZight window.
