Plot tools—create contour (C), 3-dimensional (3D), density
(D), histogram (H), or dot (d) plots
To create a plot, select a tool, click in the Experiment
document window, and drag to set the plot size.
Marker tools—select a range of data on a histogram plot (H)
or divide a dot, density, or contour plot into quadrants (Q)
Zoom tools—magnify an area of a plot (+) or return the plot to
its original size (–)
Region tools—create rectangular (R), polygonal (P), elliptical
(E), or Snap-To (S) regions on dot, density, or contour plots, or
