Once your graph is ready, BioRender Graphing makes it easy to drop it directly into your presentation - and keep it up to date as your data changes. Present results you're proud to share: deliver clear, presentation and publication-ready visuals that make your insights easy to understand and trust across presentations, publications, and reviews.
In this article, we'll cover how to:
- Customize your graph's appearance
- Apply consistent styles across multiple graphs with Style Match
- Use graphs in BioRender illustrations and posters
- Copy and paste graphs into your presentation
- Insert graphs into PowerPoint or Google Slides
Customizing your graph’s appearance
After clicking Continue, the customization panel opens on the right side of the screen. Live-edit colors, labels, scales, groupings, and axes at any time without starting over.
Settings are organized into sections:
Display data (shown first - this is the most commonly needed setting)
- Choose what to plot: mean with standard deviation, mean with SEM, etc.
Toggle Show individual data points on or off.
- Color and font
- Adjust graph colors, font styles, and sizes.
Additional settings
- Access more advanced options for axis formatting, spacing, and lines.
💡 Tip: You must confirm or save your graph details before you can run a new statistical analysis or customize your graph. If the Run Analysis button appears unresponsive, check whether the graph details panel is still open in edit mode - close or confirm it first.
Apply consistent styles with Style Match
Use Style Match to apply the same style across multiple graphs in a few clicks. This feature can be used directly from Graph Grid View without opening individual graphs.
- Select the graph whose style you want to copy
- Click Style Match → Copy style
- Select one or more target graphs
- Click Paste style
- The selected Graphs will match the style of your initial chosen graph.
Choose which properties to apply:
- Graph styling (on by default): colors, spacing, lines, fonts
- Statistics markings (on by default): pairwise comparisons, best-fit lines
- Graph size and dimensions: useful for consistent panel figures
- Axis range and scale: useful for log scales or custom tick spacing
