2. Close All Graph Windows: Closes all open graph windows.
3. Reset This Graph Window’s Size: Resets current graph window to the default size.
4. Reset All Graph Windows Size: Resets all graph windows to the default size.
5. Reset This Graph Window’s Size
6. Export Graphics As: Opens the Save Graph Window window and allows for the saving of the graph to various image formats.
7. Print: Brings up print preview dialog and prepares for printing of the active graph.

The Edit menu:

1. Undo: Deletes the last action.
2. Redo: Adds the last deleted action back to the Graph Window.
