Edit Waterfall Plots
In this tutorial, you will learn how to work with the Axes panel, query data, edit curve attributes, and use the Edit Legend dialog.
Plot attributes, such as style, color, and weight are located in the Curve Style panel. This panel also allows you to contour the surface and edit the legend, too.
Axis attributes such as labels, color, and scaling can also be modified using the Axes panel
The Values panel allows you to retrieve individual point data on any curve in the active window. When a point on a curve is selected, the point data is displayed on the panel and in a bubble in the graphics area of the screen.
