Selection Style -- Select Data Points or Interpolate Points on Graph

By default, the data cursor displays the values of the data point nearest to the point you click with the mouse, and the data marker snaps to this point. The data cursor can also determine the values of points that lie in between the data defining the graph, by linearly interpolating between the two data points closest to the location you click the mouse.

Enabling Interpolation Mode

If you want to be able to select any point along a graph and display its value, use the following procedure:

1. While in data cursor mode, right-click to display the context menu.
2. Mouse over the Selection Style item.
3. Select Mouse Position.

   

Note that interpolation mode does not work when you are using the arrow keys.
