    1. Plot legend
      Consists at least of colorful shapes. To configure the legend, please go to EDIT => Preferences...
    2. Zoom in
      You can zoom into the plot with your left mouse. There is a minimum dragging distance required to activate the zoom capability. This prevents accidental mouse "hang ups".
    3. Plot manipulation buttons
      From left to right:
      • goes back in time the time range(s) you currently see on screen
      • goes forth in time the time range(s) you currently see on screen
      • goes "up" the value range(s) you currently see on screen
      • goes "down" the value range(s) you currently see on screen
      • doubles the time range(s) you currently see on screen
      • doubles the value range(s) you currently see on screen
      • zooms out if you previously zoomed in (note: will be moved to the right mouse button - menu in nearest future)
      • displays a menu for advanced configuration:
        • uses anti-alias drawing method if checked
        • leaves ignored items if checked and no new data is retrieved
    4. Some typical "right mouse click" menu - features
      • Properties: some chart specific properties
      • Save as... : saves the plot as a PNG image
      • Print... : prints the plot
      • Ignore Item... : ignores the current plot item (may be inactive)
    5. Dock/undock
      In the top right corner of a plot plugin panel, there is the dock/undock button. Please, note that once a plot plugin is undocked, it can not be controlled from the main controls panel. However, zoom-in and plot manipulation buttons should continue to function.
