The Yearly graphs show up to 20 years of data, and the Quarterly graphs show up to 8 quarters.
Selecting Line or Bar Graphs and Arithmetic or Logarithmic Graphs

Save View
Just like Portfolio Review, you can save a preset so your FUN Graphs will always have the same items graphed whenever you view them. This is helpful because it allows you to look at the specific items you want without having to add/remove them from the default graph.
