> ### Display characteristics of a pinup graph

> If a graph is accompanied by a small binocular icon, you can change its size, style, and how often it refreshes. You make these changes in the pinup version of the graph.

> To create a pinup graph:

> 1. Click the binoculars icon in the lower right of the graph whose view you want to modify. The pinup graph window opens, displaying the graph.
> 2. Drag the lower-right corner of the window so you can see the entire page. The data label at the top of the graph serves as the graph's legend.
> 3. From the pinup you can, depending on the graph, customize the graph properties described in Table 2–1.

>    Table 2–1: Graph properties and options
>    Property | Options | Comments
>    --- | --- | ---
>    Graph size | Very small Small Medium Large | If you have a graph with small statistics, you can choose to make the pinup graph larger so you can better see its details.
>    Graph style | Vary by graph family. | See the "Types of graphs" section for a list of graphs that belong to each family.
>    Graph data averaging | On Off | When data averaging is on, Fathom computes weighted averages from the data. Using weighted averages reduces the number of data points and creates more meaningful graphs. If data averaging is off and there is more data than pixels, Fathom compresses the data.
>    Graph dimension | 2D 3D | Changes the display from two dimensional to three dimensional.
>    Grid | On Off | Default is Off.
>    Graph max time | 5 minutes 10 minutes 15 minutes 20 minutes 30 minutes 45 minutes 1 hour 2 hours 4 hours 8 hours 12 hours 24 hours 36 hours 2 days | Controls how much time the graph spans. Note: The graph time span does not affect how often or how much data is collected for graphing. You change how often your database resources are polled and how often the polled data is trended by editing the resource's monitoring plan. See Chapter 1, "Database Resource Monitoring" for information about editing monitoring plans.
>    Graph start time | -- | Select the check box and choose the start time from the drop down menus. Note: The time selected does not necessarily correspond to the first time that displays on the graph axis. For example, if you define the pinup graph to display data for 15 minutes starting at 10:05 AM, the axis may run from 10:00 AM to 10:30 AM.
>    Refresh rate | None 15 seconds 30 seconds 1 minute 2 minutes 3 minutes 4 minutes 5 minutes 10 minutes 15 minutes | The refresh rate is the rate at which the resource is checked to see if there is more information to put in the graph. The refresh rate should not be less than the polling rate for the resource. For example, if you set the refresh rate to 1 minute and the polling rate is at 5 minutes, you do not get new graph data every minute; you get it only at the same rate as the polling occurs.

> 4. Click Change Pinup when you finish making your selections. The graph appears in the pinup with the new characteristics.

> Note the following about pinup graphs:

> - You cannot save the pinup graph settings.
> - The database view page is not updated to reflect the graph characteristics you chose in the pinup.
