Choices dialogue
Clicking Adjust on the iconbar icon, or choosing Choices... from the iconbar icon menu will open the pH choices dialogue. This dialogue is where all the application defaults are set.
The choices dialogue is shown below.
In the main part of the dialogue you can set some default actions of !pH.
- Font style
- The font style and the font size of the font used to label and annotate the graph can be set up here.
- Graph style
-
The style attributes for the line on the graph are set here. The
number of line segments determines how smooth the curve of the line
appears to be (it is made up of a number of straight line segments).
Fewer segments mean the graph is drawn faster. The number of segments
can be changed using the bump arrows in the range 50 - 200 segments.
The colour of the line, and the colour of the rectangle used to mark the pH range of some common indicators can be changed. The menu button to the right of each colour patch will raise a standard wimp colour menu.
- MultiPlot export
-
If you wish to use a high quality copy of the graph in a document for
example, the data can be transferred to !MultiPlot. This allows a high
quality print out, or exporting as a draw file.
The data can be saved in !MultiPlot format either as a set of points, or as a continuous line.
At the foot of the dialogue are the three buttons Save, Cancel, and Set.
- Set will apply the choices with immediate effect. Any changes made will last only until !pH is quit.
- Save will apply the choices with immediate effect, and will also save the settings so they will be reloaded when !pH is run on another occasion.
- Cancel will simply close the dialogue, and any alterations made will be ignored.
