Description

The contents bar displays the contents of the MedCalc data file in a treeview structure.

Select Data to open the MedCalc spreadsheet if you want to enter or edit data.

Select Notes if you want to write comments or notes to be saved in the MedCalc data file.

Select Variables to edit the Variables list. You can delete variables, create derived variables, and give descriptive labels to the variables.

Select Selection criteria to edit the Selection criteria list. You can create and delete selection criteria, and give descriptive labels.

In the Named test and graphs section, you can select a named graph which you can restore, rename or delete (click the right mouse button to obtain a shortcut menu).

Named tests and graphs

You can save a graph in the MedCalc data file by selecting the button in the toolbar. By doing so, the graph is added to the Named tests and graphs list in the Contents bar. A default name is given to the graph, which you can edit in the Contents bar.

This feature is very useful if you would want to recreate the graph later, possibly with new data.
