But in most cases, if you've used the right kind of data table for your data, the types of graphs that are appropriate for your data that you'd like to make will belong to the same family and will be selected by default.įor this data, you can see that we can choose from many different types of graphs that we'd like to make. And so, by default, the graph family selected is XY. If you aren't familiar with the concept of data tables, you should watch our video on the eight different types of data tables that Prism offers.
Here we get to make our first customization decision: what kind of graph do we want to make? If you've used Prism for a while, you'll know that the type of data table that you are using affects the default options presented for choices of analyses, as well as graph types. Immediately, when you click on the graph sheet, the Change Graph Type dialogue appears. Select Start With Sample Data to follow a tutorial, choose Dose Response, X is Logged Dose, and click Create.įor the purposes of this video, we won't worry about the data or analyses for now, and we'll just go straight to the graph. Let's start by looking at some ways that we can customize our graphs directly. Throughout these videos, I'll be utilizing Prism's built-in tutorial datasets to generate some starting graphs to customize as we'd like. Keep in mind as we work through some of these options that the real power of graph customization in Prism comes from the combination of a multitude of different customization options that can be applied together, resulting in an effectively infinite number of different ways to present your data. In this short series of videos, we're going to look at some of the ways that you can customize your graphs in Prism.
Rarely, however, is there ever a one size fits all approach to data visualization, and customizing the appearance of graphs made from your data is a critical step in the research process. One of the most important parts of scientific research is visualizing and presenting the data that you collect in a way that's clear and easy for others to understand.
