Either scroll through the page or click on one of the buttons.
The standard mouse mode is active when Xtremes is started. Use
this button to switch off any of the modes described below and return
to standard mouse operations.
Use option mouse mode to change properties of the curves in the
active window. By clicking on a curve, a dialog box
opens and one can change line color, style, thickness and the
number of points supporting the line.
In parameter varying mouse mode, click at a curve in the
active graphics window to open a window with sliders. Parameters
are interactively changed by dragging a slider.
Move curves (including contour plots) and scatterplots from one
window to another.
(a) Click at a curve or a scatterplot to convey it to
the clipboard window (Xtremes deletes curves from the original
window). When this mode is applied within in the clipboard window,
the system asks for a destination window. In addition, a "scatterplot"
is converted to a "curve" under this operation so that the usual
curve options become applicable.
(b) A curve can be directly dragged to a different plot window (also
to a scatterplot window), if the left mouse button is kept pressed until
the cursor is located in the destination window.
In the deleting mouse mode, click at a curve to remove it from the
active window.
In the information mouse mode, Xtremes displays information
about the curve you click on in a little box beneath the mouse
pointer.
univariate
Activate coordinate changing mouse mode in any plot window, if
you wish to get a closer views of the displayed curves, scatterplots
etc. Determine a zoom area by moving the pointer with left mouse button
pressed. Xtremes displays a rectangle of which the corners are
determined by the position of the first click and the actual
pointer position. When releasing the button,
Xtremes displays the marked area. The coordinate system will be
adjusted.
multivariate
In the 3D-setup rotate the coordinate system.
Use the point selection mouse mode to remove points from
a Clusterplot or
a Scatterplot window.
Apply the same procedure as in the zooming mode to
mark the points. Xtremes changes the color of the points to green and
also removes the connecting lines when
the connect actual points option was active.
Note that you can reactivate points by holding down
the Shift-key when marking points.
Any operation performed within the active window (like plotting a least
squares line, for instance) ignore the inactive points.
Use this mode to draw a straight line in the active graphics window.
Press the left mouse button and move the pointer to the chosen direction
with the button held. Release the button when the operation is finished.
Xtremes will continue the line to the edges of the plot area.
By holding down the Ctrl-key, you can add a line segment that is not
continued. Moreover, line segments may be vertical, which is not allowed
for the previous line type.
By means of a leftclick in the active graphics window one may call
the Label Text dialog box. Enter a label text in the above edit
field and determine label position by marking
the horizontal and vertical radio
buttons or by entering pixel coordinates.
Set standard mouse mode
Set option mouse mode
Set parameter varying mouse mode
This option is available for univariate and bivariate kernel
densities as well as certain parametric curves in the univariate
mode. In the
Moving Average window,
the number of points - over which the averaging takes
place - can be varied.
