5 Data Properties
Labeling Rows and Columns
When you position the arrow cursor over a point in a plot, the point’s label appears. By default, the
label that appears is the row number. There are two ways you can customize the label:
• You can change the label so that it displays values found in one or more columns instead of the row
number.
• You can enable the label to appear always, not just when you position the cursor over points.
• A label, or yellow tag, icon ( ) beside the column name in the columns panel indicates that points
on plots will be identified by the column value. If there are multiple labeled columns, their values
appear on plots separated by a comma.
• Data remain labeled until you highlight the column and select Label/Unlabel again. This menu
option is a toggle. Selecting Label/Unlabel once sets the highlighted rows or columns to be labeled.
Highlighting labeled rows or columns and selecting Label/Unlabel again turns the option off so
that the rows or columns are no longer labeled.
To change the label so that it displays values found in one or more columns instead of the row
number
1 Highlight one or more columns whose values you want to appear as the label in plots.
2 Select Label/Unlabel from the Cols menu. (See Figure 5.3.)
To enable the label to always appear (not just when you position the cursor over points)
1 Highlight one or more rows whose label you want to always appear in plots.
2 Select Label/Unlabel from the Rows menu. (See Figure 5.3.)
To turn off labeling for rows or columns
1 Highlight the labeled rows or columns that you no longer want labeled.
2 Select Label/Unlabel from the Rows menu or Cols menu. (See Figure 5.3.)
