SigmaPlot

1.0 - Applying RSC settings to a graph

To create a graph that is RSC-compatible, perform the following steps:

1. First create your graph, and save it in SigmaPlot format.
2. From the "Tools" menu select "Options". In the dialogue box that appears, click on the "Page" tab. Set the "Units" to "Millimeters (mm)" and make sure the "Graph objects resize with graph" option is not ticked (see below). Click "OK".
   
   

   

   
   
3. From the "File" menu select "Page Setup...". In the dialogue box that appears, click on the "Margins" tab. Set all the margins to "0.0mm", as shown below, then click "Apply".
   
   

   

   
   
4. Now click on the "Page Size" tab. Set the "Width" to 83.0mm (or 171.0mm if double column width) and the "Height" to "233.0mm" (see below). Click "OK".
   
   

   

   
   
5. Set the font size of all text to 7 pt, and the width of all lines to 0.2mm (consult the SigmaPlot Help files for more details if necessary).
6. Resize your graph to fit within and make full use of the page width available.
