Can I change the default preferences of graph ?

Share icon

Hi.
I have a question.
Can I change the default option of graph ?
For example, I prefer 'Scientific exponential label' in ticks & grid option but the default is Engineering Exponential label.
Also, I prefer 'no ticks' in Mirror in Axis option.

Can I change them in default ?

Thanks in advance.
Create a graph with those settings, and use the Graph->Capture Graph Prefs menu item.

Graphs created manually will use those settings.

In a Macro turn Prefs on if you want them to apply using the Preferences 1 command.

On a related question.

My default is to use lines between points. My second most common mode is to use markers and or lines and markers. The default marker is the "+" symbol. Is it possible to set the default marker to a filled circle when I select a mode that has markers? i.e. set the default marker to filled circle.

No. I'd recommend looking into writing graph style macros that you keep in a procedure file within your Igor Procedures folder.
