To use a coloured graph background Show

By default, CrystalDiffract uses transparent graph backgrounds, which you may notice when you export graphics to another program. To instead use an opaque graph background, follow these steps:

  1. Open the Graph Options group of the Format Inspector.

  2. Set the Use solid fill checkbox.

  3. Click the colour button to choose a new background colour.

Note: The title and legend text are drawn at a fixed size, relative to other text in your plot. You can edit these using the fonts panel (Edit > Show Fonts).
