# Changing the Content of a Graphics View
The content of a Graphic View can be set either in:
The Graphics Palettes. Refer to the Dockable Panes section for details on accessing these.
the Graphic Settings dialog box or in dialog boxes accessible from this. The Graphic Settings dialog box can be accessed by:
giving the “Graphics | Graphic Settings” (Ctrl+W) menu command.
using the “Wizard” command on the Graphics Display Palette or Data Options toolbar.
Double-clicking on the background of a Graphic View.
New Graphic Views use the default view settings unless there is a Saved Graphic View named “startup” (case insensitive) in which case these settings are used.
Changes to view settings may be undone and redone using the “View | Undo View” (Ctrl+Alt+Z) and “View | Redo View” (Ctrl+Alt+Y) menu commands. These commands are also available on the Standard toolbar.
View settings for the current view may be applied to another Graphic View by clicking the “View settings painter” on the Standard toolbar to grab the current settings and then clicking in the other Graphic View. Click the “View settings painter” again or press <Esc> to switch off the option without applying grabbed settings.
View settings may be copied to the clipboard from within the Graphic Settings dialog box. View settings on the clipboard may be pasted into the view (i.e. applied to the view) either using “Edit | Paste” (Ctrl+V) or from within the Graphic Settings dialog box. Note that “Edit | Copy” copies either the actual content of the view (see Copying the graphic image to the clipboard) or the current selection (see Copying sets to the clipboard), not the view settings.
There are often other ways of editing the settings, as described below.
