Graph Sets:
You can groups several graphs
together to form a graph set. Graph sets are a way to organize
graphs into groups you use often. For example, a graph set may
display the net worth vs. cash, oil received from importing vs. oil
from wells, or comparisons between the selling prices of all the
crude products. You can have up to 10 graph sets, each with 6
separate items.
To create a new graph set, make
sure you have "No Graph Set" selected, and select the items you
would like to display in the graph set. Then, click the Add Graph
Set button, type in a name, and click OK. You now have a new graph
set! You can modify which items are displayed by selecting and
deselecting them while the graph set is shown. Finally, you can
remove a graph set while it is selected by clicking the Remove Graph
Set button.
Graph sets can also be made to display
automatically at the start of every turn. You can view quick
statistics on the selling price of refined goods, import / export
prices of crude, etc. every time you start a new turn to keep
updated on sudden jumps. To make a graph set that will appear at the
start of every turn, create a new graph set with the "Show at the
beginning of every turn" option selected. You can use and view the
graph set as any other.
