\subsection{The Charts Window}

4417+
By default, when starting a run, a \guicmd{Charts} window opens to display
4418+
a plot of the thermodynamic output from the LAMMPS calculation. From the \guicmd{File}
4419+
menu in the top-left corner, you can save an image of the
4420+
currently displayed plot or export the data in various formats:
4421+
plain text columns (for use with plotting tools like Gnuplot or XmGrace),
4422+
CSV data (suitable for processing in Microsoft Excel, LibreOffice Calc,
4423+
or Python with Pandas), or YAML (which can be imported into Python using PyYAML or Pandas).
4424+
You can use the mouse to zoom in on the graph by holding the left button and dragging
4425+
to select an area. To zoom out, right-click anywhere on the graph. You can reset the view
4426+
by clicking the \guicmd{lens} button located next to the data drop-down menu.
