Let us assume the text box contains the word "whale". There are three ways the dive contents is filtered: 1) Starts with: all words starting with the text in the text box are used to filter the dive list. This means that a dive containing the word "whaleshark" is included in the divelist. 2) Substring: dives with all words that <em>include</em> the text in the full text search box are included in the list. If the full-text box contains "shark", dives containing the word "whaleshark" are also included in the dive list. 3) Full word: filtering is performed strictly using the word in the full-text box. If the full-text box contains "shark", dives containing "whaleshark" are NOT included in the dive list. However if a dive contains "bull shark" it is included in the dive list.</p></div>

-   all dives with Peter at Sipadan.</p></div>
-<div class="paragraph"><p>2) Within a single attribute the "All of" criterion implements an AND operator. For the <em>People</em> attribute in

-   were listed as dive buddies/divemaster based on the People information in the <em>Info Panel</em>.</p></div>

-   the filtered dive list contains dives performed EITHER at Simonstad OR at Hout Bay.</p></div>
-<div class="paragraph"><p>4) The "None of" criterion implements a NOT function. For the <em>Suit</em> attribute in the image below,

 </div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>a) Which dives do you wish to graph? Perhaps you wish to analyze dives during winter, or dives on tropical reefs, or dives at a specific dive site. Use the Filter panel for selecting those dives. The section on the <a href="#S_Filter"><em>Filter tool</em></a> contains complete instructions for filtering the dive list.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>b) Which variable should be displayed along the bottom horizontal axis of the graph? Let&#8217;s say you wish to see how many dives you performed each year. In this case the variable along the bottom horizontal axis would be "Year". Alternatively, if you wished to compare the mean depth of your dives using different suit types, then "Suit type" would be selected as the variable for the bottom horizontal axis. Alternatively, if you wished to visualize the water temperature for dives of different dive depths, then you would select "Max. depth" as the variable on the horizontal axis (see image below). The variable along the horizontal axis is also called the "base variable", the "X-axis variable" or the "independent variable": it defines the basic units or categories used for analysis.</p></div>
+<div class="imageblock" style="text-align:center;">
+<div class="content">
+<img src="images/StatsGraphAxes.jpg" alt="Example: Statistics graph axes" />
+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>c) Which variable should be displayed along the left-hand vertical axis of the graph? This is the variable that you are primarily interested in. In some cases this could just be a count such as "No. of dives". However, if you are interested in water temperature at different dive depths, you would select "Water temperature" as the variable along the vertical axis (see image above). In this case you are primarily interested in water temperature, not in dive depth (which would be the variable along the horizontal axis). The variable along the vertical axis is also called the "data variable" or the "dependent variable": it is the variable affected by (or dependent on) the values of the variable along the horizontal axis, as in the graph above.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p><strong>NB:</strong> Since, in Subsurface, the graphs can be rotated to be horizontally-oriented or vertically oriented, the terms "horizontal axis variable" and "vertical axis variable" are not appropriate. We use the term <strong>Base variable</strong> to denote the conventional horizontal axis variable and the <strong>Data variable</strong> to denote the conventional vertical axis variable.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>d) Which chart type do you require? By default Subsurface selects the most appropriate graph type, but this is a user-selectable option. Taking the example of water temperature at various depths above, the image below shows three of the possible chart types of the same data: Image A below shows the raw data by plotting the exact temperature and depth for each dive. Image B, however, groups the dives in 5m depth intervals within which the temperature for each dive is indicated (the red marks are explained below). Image C also groups the dives in 5m depth intervals. However, in this case the minimum, maximum, mean, upper quartile and lower quartile are shown for each depth class.</p></div>

+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>The point of the discussion above is to show that, <em>before initiating a graph, you need to think carefully about what you want Subsurface to show</em>, at least keeping the above four aspects in consideration.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p><strong>A more technical note on the valid use of statistical graphs</strong></p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>When graphing variables from a dive log, there is an important distinction between <em>continuous variables</em> and <em>categorical variables</em>. These two data types are typically graphed in different ways. A continuous variable can theoretically have any value. For instance dive depth can have any value greater than zero (theoretically negative depths indicate height above the water but this is not a practical possibility). Consequently, depths of 21.63857 meters or 44.7653 feet are entirely realistic. Dates are also continuous since the annual value of any particular instant in time can be presented. For instance a dive at 12 noon on April 1st 2020 can be presented by a value of 2020.24726 (90.5/366 days in that leap year). On the other hand dive mode is a categorical variable: there are no values between "Freedive" and "Open circuit" or between "Open Circuit" and "CCR". Other categorical variables include Buddy, Visibility, Rating and Suit type. Different methods are used to represent these two types of variables, evident from the way in which the axes are organized. It is perfectly valid to create a
+graph with a continuous Base variable and a categorical Data variable and <em>vice versa</em>. However, when using a continuous Base variable, use a
+histogram, NOT a bar-chart. The images below show counts of dives at different depths. Image A is a histogram showing that no dives were conducted between 55m and 60m depth. However two dives were performed between 60m and 65m: these two bars (55-60m and 60-65m) have equally important information. Image B shows the bar-chart of the same dataset where depth has been converted to a categorical type. Notice that the two bars with no dives (55-60m and 75-80m) are omitted. Important information is lost because of the use of a bar-chart to represent continuous data.</p></div>

+<h4 id="_graphs_of_counts_data">5.7.1. Graphs of counts data</h4>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>By default, when the Statistics panel is opened, a histogram is shown of the number of dives performed each year. This is an example of <strong>counts</strong> data. To request a graph representing counts, three comboboxes need to be set:</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>a) The top combobox of the Base variable needs to be specified. Which variable should be along the horizontal axis? Examples are Year, Buddy, Rating, Max. depth.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>b) The binning combobox for the Base variable needs to be specified. This represents the increment for each bar along the horizontal axis. For instance, when counts of number of dives are extracted for years, this could be in increments of a year, a quarter (3 month period) or a month. For some variables, e.g. Buddy or Rating, a binning value is not relevant and cannot be selected. However, for others, e.g. Year or Max. depth, selecting the appropriate binning is important.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>c) For simple counts data, the top combobox of the Data variable needs to be set to "none". This is because a data variable is not involved in this type of graph. Divers used to spreadsheets may prefer a <strong>pie chart</strong> for these data, achieved by selecting "Categorical/piechart" from the Chart combobox. It is possible to simultaneously provide counts for two variables. In this case one could specify a Data variable which results in the counts being subdivided according to the data variable. This option does not have a piechart equivalent. Detailed information for each bar can be obtained by hovering the mouse over the the appropriate bar.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>For simple histograms, the default height of each bar is determined by the mean value for the observations included in each bar. However, this can be manipulated using the Operation combobox to show the mean, maximum, minimum, median and sum applicable to each bar. Image A below shows quarterly count data of dives while image B shows quarterly count data, subdivided by dive mode (some dives open circuit, other dives rebreather). The mouse is positioned over a specific bar to provide detailed information. The legend can be dragged around so that it does not obscure part of the graph. Alternatively, the legend can be removed by deselecting the appropriate checkbox at the bottom left of the setup panel.</p></div>

The pink area around the red line indicates the uncertainty of the precise orientation of the line. The line is expected to lie somewhere within the pink area with a certainty of 95%. The intensity of the pink color also indicates the relative reliability of these estimates. The procedure for obtaining a scattergraph is:</p></div>

The red lines indicate the top quartile, the mean and the lower quartile of temperature for each rating. The column with no star indicates dives for which a Rating has not been selected.

+are not provided any more because IrDA is an old technology, not well-maintained any more, thus creating problems on new operating systems such as Windows or Linux. However, in this case, do not stop using your Galileo or other IrDA-dependent dive computer. A way to solve this problem is to create a virtual machine on your desktop with a guest operating system that still does support IrDA. Your existing desktop acts as a host, with the IrDA-supporting operating system running as a guest on your host desktop. This is not a
+complex task but is best done with the help of an IT support person. Virtualization software can be found for all desktop operating systems. In the Microsoft environment, Hyper-V allows virtual machines, as does Parallels on the Apple Mac: however these are proprietary software. VMware is probably the most sophisticated virtualization software, running on all operating systems, but it is also proprietary. Within the open source environment, VirtualBox is available free of
+charge for most current operation systems. Older, potential guest operating systems with IrDA support include Windows 8 and Linux Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Linux kernel 4.15 or older). Creating a virtual machine allows, for instance, Windows 8 to be run as a guest on
+your Windows 10 (or later) machine. After installing Subsurface on the Windows 8 guest operating system, its IrDA facilities can be used to access an IrDA dongle plugged into the USB port of your Windows 10 (or later) host machine, allowing dive computers dependent on IrDA to download dive data to the guest operating system (Windows 8 in this case). Host and guest can share directories, which facilitates dive log transfer between the two systems.</td>
