How can I use a script to check which rows in Grapher are being used for my labels?

This article contains a sample script for creating a graph, returning and setting the rows used for plotting labels.

To run this script:

1. Click here to download the BAS file: rowlabels.bas.
2. Click Automation | Scripts | Run, select the BAS file from your downloads directory, and click Open.

OR:

1. Copy the script below.
2. Open Grapher and turn on the Script Manager by clicking View | Display | Script Manager.
3. Press Ctrl+A to select all of the existing lines in the Script Manager and then press DELETE.
4. Press Ctrl+V to paste it into the Script Manager.
5. Click the Start/Resume icon () in the Script Manager.
