Examine Points

When the Examine feature is on, a vertical indicator line will appear on the graph and a floating box will show the x- and y-coordinates of the data point. The line can be positioned by moving the cursor or pressing the left and right arrow keys on the keyboard. The Examine box will be updated automatically to reflect the current location of the indicator line.

Turn on the Examine feature either by clicking the Examine button on the toolbar or by choosing Examine from the Analyze menu.

Turn off Examine by clicking the Examine button again, clicking the X in the upper corner of the Examine box, or choosing Examine from the Analyze menu.

Note: Another way to quickly see x- and y-coordinates of a data point without turning on the Examine feature is to double-click a graph or choose Graph Options from the Options menu and check Mouse Position and Delta. The x- and y-coordinates of the location of the mouse cursor will be displayed in the lower left of the graph. Move the cursor over a data point to display the x- and y-coordinates of the point.
