8. Change a graph to match another

Print this Topic

You can use the Prism Magic (Make Graphs Consistent) tool to make one or more graphs look like another one.

Try it yourself

First let's make some changes to the first graph you were working on.

1.Select your original graph in the Navigator tree (Exponential decay), and use the Color Scheme button in the Prism toolbar to change the color scheme of this graph. For this tour, choose the color scheme called "Stained glass."

2.Then double-click on the Y axis to open the Format Axis dialog and change the Maximum range to 10,000.

Now, let's see how Magic can make other graphs match this one.

1.Select your second graph (Clone of exponential decay) in the Navigator tree. This is the graph we're going to change.
2.Click on the Magic button (The magic wand) on the Prism toolbar

This will open the Magic dialog. Click on the thumbnail of the graph you have just modified to select it as the example graph to match.

3.Click the Next button and choose which aspects of the example graph you would like to apply to your current graph. Preview how the change will look in the lower-right pane.

4.Click OK to apply the changes.
