Formatting a Graph Sheet
In S-PLUS you have complete control over the format of your graph including axes, plots, titles, and comments. See How to Create a Graph for step-by-step instructions for creating graphs.
Once you have created a graph, you can take advantage of many editing options in S-PLUS.

2. Click in a blank area of the Graph sheet, outside of any graphs.
3. Choose Options Save Properties as Default.
The settings from the current Graph sheet (including window size and position) are saved as the default settings. You can also right-click on the Graph sheet and choose Save Properties as Default from the shortcut menu.
