If you want to alter the time frame for a graph, there's several ways to accomplish that. Otherwise, not sure what you mean by "type of graph".
Some of the typical types of graphs which can frequently be chosen for display at a user's option in a computer program are:
Histograms, Bar Charts, Line Charts, Area Charts, Candlestick Charts, Run-Sequence Plot, etc.
EXCEL is a pretty good example of a application with charting options: The numbers are either imported or typed in, and then the user simply selects the type of graph by name and the chart instantly appears on the screen. Different people are wired differently when it comes to quick understanding and interpretation of data.
The example I gave above in answer to another member's question are from the ResScan charts that I particularly like, and wish were available in SleepyHead.

OK, gotcha. I agree, some things are better on Sleepyhead and other things are better on ResScan. ResScan is a little more "polished" but I think Sleepyhead provides more data and the navigation is more user friendly IMHO.

I just grabbed Sleepyhead the other day and it is far better than Resmed.
I especially like the way it shows you what type of apneas you had, when you had them, and how long they lasted...then it marks them for you on the graph.
Kudos .... hooray ... well done

Resscan does that also. You have to select it in the menu you get by clicking on that little nondescript icon under serial number. There's also an options box where you can set graph scales and some other stuff.
