Frame Options

Use this to set attributes for the frame that a graph is displayed within.

Graph region

Defines the area of the window in which the graph is plotted, along with margins for titles, axis labels, etc. Note that the margins are not applicable for 3D plots.

Window

Defines the window into which the graph is plotted. By default a graph is drawn into window 1. You can either select the Window number to draw the plot or select the position within the frame using the Area list. When a window number or area is selected the positions and margins will change within the Graph region options to indicate the position of the selected window within the frame. You can change these settings to alter the size and position of the region.
