2.5.6. Graph Selection

This scenario shows how to take the grade sheet scores and visualize them into a graph.

The instructor clicks "Graph", as seen on this figure, to choose which type of graph to use for the selected data. The data that appears on the graph depends on which items the instructor chooses before clicking on "Graph". To choose an item, the instructor simply clicks on the item's border which highlights the entire section. The instructor can also select multiple items to graph by holding down CTRL while clicking. The figures below show a combination of possible selected items and the graph type selection window.

The application highlights selected items as shown. The instructor can either choose to select entire categories (Homework), single graded items (Program 2), or categories that group together other categories (Exams). This selection feature allows for any combination of those listed above. The instructor chooses what type of graph to use for visualizing these selected grades. Holding CTRL while clicking allows the instructor to select multiple graphs to display. The instructor clicks "OK" to display all selected graphs. The instructor clicks "Cancel" to close this window and bring the grade sheet back into focus. Section 2.6 describes each type of graph.
