Manipulating Daily and Overview Graphs
4) Glitches Sometimes you run into a SH glitch and the y-axis for the Flow Rate graph is off: The middle part of the breathing cycle is not graphed at 0 L/min. It's a known problem. If this happens to you, the easiest thing to do is just to mentally draw the 0.0 L/min line half way between the peaks and valleys in the Flow Rate graph and use that to measure when you are inhaling and exhaling.

And also add all the keyboard and mouse short-cuts and tricks:
 
: Holding in Control (or Command on Mac) and using the mouse wheel zooms in/out..
: Cursor up & down keys also zooms when the graph area has input focus.
: Cursor left and right keys scrolls the highlighted box.
: Holding in Control (or Command..) while left/right click zooming will cause it to zoom faster.
: Right clicking on, and then dragging the currently selected highlight in the event flags graph allows you to easily slide the current selected time "window" over the whole period.
: Right clicking on, and dragging any other graph will act as if you are picking it up and panning it left or right.
: Double clicking on the Y-Axis labels will toggle between auto-zoom and default zoom, provided it hasn't been overridden in graph preferences.
: Double clicking on the graph title text area pins or unpins any graph, so it remains always visible on screen, up the top. Your graph pins are persistent.
: Clicking on graph title text and dragging allows you to reorder the graphs (but pins will always be on top.. Pins can be reordered amongst themselves too)
: Clicking on the date panel above the calendar widget toggles the calendar on/off to quickly give you more Details room in the left Daily panel.
: F8 key quickly toggles the right navigation panel to give you more graph room.
: You can drag the vertical sizer line that is between the left panel and graph area all the way to the left, allowing you to get full screen graphs.
: If you want to quickly view a single Daily graph full screen, hide the navigation panel and left panel as shown above, then minimise all graphs with the down arrow button next to the right side drop down in the bottom panel, then turn back on the graph you want in the drop down.
: To get all graphs visible again, click the arrows next to that combo box twice.
: Clicking on the grey line between graphs allows you to resize that particular graph. It will remember the graph heights for next time.
: The "Reset" button down the bottom panel of the graph area restores all graphs to uniform sizing.
: The "100%" button zooms out completely to show the entire day.
: You can click on the coloured event names in the Daily Details panel to jump to them highlighted in the Events tab
: You can click on the duration shown in the CPAP Sessions to highlight just that session.
: Clicking on the an entry in the Prescription changes list will jump to Overview and select that date range.

There is an option in Appearance preferences to dampen the horizontal left and right panning on sensitive Mac trackpads/mice... it allows you to define a millisecond delay between vertical scrolling and horizontal panning (without this setting, scrolling is a nightmare to use for people with shaky hands (like me)) on sensitive input devices.
I'll make sure these get put somewhere in that User's Guide that I'm writing over at Apnea Board. Thanks for sharing.
If you have trouble seeing the graph lines, you can now set the thickness of line plots in Appearance preferences.
 
(non bargraph) Overview graphs can be alternatively displayed as Line plots in Appearance preferences, which I feel are more attractive.. you may or may not agree.
 
Tooltip durations can be altered in preferences... if you find them annoying drag it all or most of the way to the left..<br />
