2.6 - Graph Windows

Most outputs from a simulation run can be displayed in a graph-usually one or more state variables plotted against time (years). Graph windows can be brought up directly and multiple graphs can be displayed at any time. A typical graph window (shown below) has several buttons and two information boxes. A vertical dashed line separates the calibration (to the left) and simulation (to the right) time periods.

Opening Graphs

Opening Graphs from the main menu

Choose a Fishery and/or Stock on the toolbar (see "The Toolbar" for changing these).
Choose from the submenus under Graphs on the Fishery, Stock and Harvest menus.

Opening Graphs from the map

Click on the map according to the Mouse Tools settings. These settings are described more in the section entitled "The Map".

Graph Windows Operations

Estimate Y-Axis Values

Move the mouse pointer into the graph region. The approximate Y-axis value at the tip of the mouse pointer is displayed in the Y-axis value box. The accuracy of the value depends on the scale of the y-axis.

Estimate X-Axis Values

Move the mouse pointer into the graph region. The approximate X-axis value at the tip of the mouse pointer is displayed in the X-axis value box. The accuracy of the value depends on the scale of the X-axis. Generally, the X-axis displays the year and the value displayed in the X-axis display box is the closest year value.

Rescaling The Y-Axis

Left-click on the graph to make the Y-axis scale larger (i.e., show a smaller range of values). Right-click on the graph to decrease the scale (i.e., show a larger range of values).

Closing a Graph Window

Left-click on the Done Button

Printing a Graph Window

Click on the Print Button

Getting Help for Graph Windows

This feature(

) is not implemented in this version.

Automatic Graph Updates

When this is selected (default

) any open graphs update automatically when the mouse is moved over a controlling icon on the map. There are basically three categories of graphs: "Fishery", "Stock", and "Harvest". The Fishery and Harvest graphs are updated when the mouse pointer is moved over a fishery icon. The Stock and Harvest graphs are updated when the mouse pointer is moved over a stock icon. This is disabled by de-selecting the icon.
