The Plot menu and the Manipulate menu

The Plot menu (Figure 4-19) is used to control the appearance of the active function plot window as well as to provide interactive documentation features. The functions of the Plot menu – except for the Copy to Picture feature – are also available in the right-click pop up menu related to plot windows (except for the Measured Response plot window). This version of the Plot menu is extended by four style functions (Figure 4-19b). The contents of plot windows can be modified by functions of the Manipulate menu (Figure 4‑19c). All interactive documentation functions are available in these menus. In the Manipulate menu only those items are active which make sense in the active plot window.

A few items of this menu are also available through toolbar buttons.
