Center This button toggles between two types of scaling methods. Clicking on the button creates an instantaneous flash and label change between Data Center and Plot Center. When the label is Data Center, the data will be scaled from the center (midrange) of the data. This preserves the shape of the scatter plot. When the label is Plot Center, the data will be scaled from the center of the plotting window. This facilitates shape changes. For example, when the data are all to one side of the center of the window, the points farthest from the center will expand out or contract in faster than points near the center.
