Using LDW 3: Reviewing Results
Introduction
This section describes the displays LDW can generate for you to
review the results of your analysis. Typically you will look at
these displays after you have finished structuring your problem
and assessing preferences. Often, looking at these displays will
motivate you to return to the structuring and preference
assessment steps to make adjustments. This is a normal and
important part of the decision analysis process.
This section also describes how to print displays and how to save
them or copy them to other Windows programs.
It also includes information on how to modify your results
displays. LDW provides options to change the colors and text
fonts of your charts and tables as well as to add new text labels.
Finally, this section describes the options under the File menu,
where you open and close LDW data files and where there are
options to import and export LDW data to and from other formats
