CPT Help Home -> Specific Menu Items -> Tools -> Verification -> Weather Roulette -> Cumulative Profits Cumulative Profits GraphThe cumulative profits graph shows how an initial investment of $1 apportioned according to the forecast probabilities, would have increased or decreased over the period of retroactive forecasts. The profits are averaged across all locations.The results can be saved by right-clicking on the graphs; the output file contains the results for all the weather roulette options (Profits, Cumulative profits and Effective interest rates). The graphic itself can be saved by right-clicking in the child window and selecting Export. The graph can be saved as a BMP, EMF, GIF, JPEG, PCX, or PNG file by right-clicking anywhere in the child window. A default name is given to the graphic file, but this name can be changed using the browse button. The quality of the JPEG file can be adjusted using the slider or by the quality indicator, which ranges between 0.01 and 1.00. The highest quality is obtained using 1.00. The size of the JPEG file is affected by the quality chosen, with larger files being generated the higher the selected quality. The image quality for all the graphics formats can be improved by increasing the size of the image (see Options ~ Graphics ~ Graph Scaling). The graphic title can be set using the Customise option upon right-clicking in the child window. The y-axis limits can be set by right-clicking on the image and then selecting the Customise ~ Y-Axis Limits option. The maximum and minimum values on the y-axis are indicated and can be reset. Resetting these axis limits will in turn automatically reset the tick-mark interval and number of tick marks. Greater flexibility for setting the tick marks is planned for future releases. Further options for customizing the graph, including adjusting the size of the fonts, and the size of the images, are available from Options ~ Graphics.
