Graphing Templates

The graphing templates tool allows the user to easily save graphs for future use.  Begin by brining up a graph.  For this example one month of data is graphed and the title and colors have been adjusted as desired.

Data Graph

To save this template click  on the save disk icon on the top of the window.

You will be asked what name you want the graphed saved as.  For this example we will leave the name as the title ‘Demo Graph Template’.  Press ‘Save’ and the template will be saved.

Naming Graph Template

The next time you want to use this graph click on the open icon and select the template from the list.

There are some important things to remember about date ranges and templates.  If you save the graph with a relative date range such as ‘Last 3 Months’ every time you load the graph it will always bring up the last three months.  If you use the custom date range using the calendar pickers this graph will always refer to the absolute date selected.  For example if you have a historical storm you want to save and bring up for future referral you would use the custom date range so regardless of when the graph is opened you will always be presented with the storm.
