How to customize your graph

This article provides a step-by-step guide on how to edit and customize your graph. Once your graph has been automatically generated after selecting your graph family and adding data, you can modify various elements without needing to recreate it. You’ll learn how to:

  • Adjust your dataset
  • Change the appearance of your graph, axes, and legend
  • Display statistical analyses directly on your graph

Accessing your graph file

To begin customizing your graph, click on its name in the left-hand side panel.

 

Customization options

Data appearance options

1. Click directly on your graph (e.g., on the bars). This opens the Data Appearance Options menu.

2. From this menu, you can:

    • Change the color palette and border color
    • Adjust border width and corner radius
    • Modify the spacing between groups, within groups, and the graph margin
  •  

Axis customization

1. Click on the x-axis or y-axis to open the axis customization menu.

2. Adjust the axis line and label formatting.

How to display an analysis

Once you’ve run an analysis, you can display it on your graph. For ANOVAs, this applies only if pairwise comparisons (e.g., Tukey test) have been selected.

1. After running the analysis, a new menu option appears.

2. This drop-down menu lists all performed analyses.

3. Each option contains the pairwise contrasts selected for the given analysis.

4. By default, significant comparisons are preselected and automatically displayed on your graph.

5. You can customize the appearance the way analyses are displayed by clicking on the significance lines. This will open the following menu:

6. You can also display non-significant comparisons by checking the empty checkboxes.

7. Customize the analysis appearance by clicking on the significance lines, which opens the customization menu where you can:

    • Modify how significance is displayed (brackets, font, line size, etc.)
