Showing a Specified Generation


Generation filters present varying depths of detail in the chart. By default, all generations are shown. Generation filters are mutually exclusive; only one can be selected at a time. The Show just a specified generation option displays a specific generation.

When this option is selected, additional radio buttons appear at the bottom of the chart to allow easy access to all generations, with the left-most button representing the root generation. A separate set of radio buttons appears for each axis. As with the other generation filters, the available generations depends on the grid.

To show just a specified generation in a chart:

  1. Select Chart > Options... in the menu bar.
    The Chart Options dialog box appears.
  2. Under the Generation Filter section, select the Show just a specified generation check box.
  3. Click the OK button to close the dialog box and implement the changes.
    The application updates to reflect the changes.

When you click the Apply button the changes are implemented but the dialog box remains open.
