Various graph customization facilities are available when a graph window is active (i.e., after a graph has been created). There are two major types of graph customization:

• Interactive graph customization. The customization options in Statistica graphics include hundreds of features and tools that can be used to adjust every detail of the display and associated data processing. Options are arranged in a hierarchical manner. Those used most often are accessible directly via shortcut menus by right-clicking on the respective element of the graph. A complete set of available features for any given graph are available in the Graph Options dialog, accessible by double-clicking in the graph.

• Permanent settings and automation options. The initial settings of graph features can be easily adjusted so that the default appearance and behavior of STATISTICA graphs will match specific needs and/or will require very little intervention. Four different ways to make these adjustments are:

            (1) The Options dialog. 

            (2) Graph Styles. 

            (3) User-defined graphs. 

            (4) Statistica Visual Basic.
