[Tkgraph display image]

There are 4 major parts to the main display of Tkgraph.

The first is the menubar along the top of the display. The menubar contains menus that you can use to exit Tkgraph, print the current page layout, load data, save/load a page layout, and set various program options.

The second part of the display is the shortcut toolbar along the left side of the display. These buttons are shortcuts for performing some commonly needed actions. They are, from top to bottom:

The third area occupies the majority of the Tkgraph display. The page layout Canvas is where all of the graphs, data, labels, and such will be displayed.

The final part of the display is at the bottom. It is a set of 5 entry areas whose contents are updated at different points throughout the program. The topmost entry is a simple x-y coordinate pair that reflects the current position of the cursor on the Canvas. The upper-left corner of the Canvas is the (0, 0) origin. X values increas to the right, and Y values increase from top to bottom. The lower 4 of these entry areas are used for debugging purposes only. Users can safely ignore these.
