Four often-used statistics are shown at the mid-right part of the screen.
Using the 'Statistics' menu choice at the top of the player application, a
player is able to view a wider variety of statistics. These statistics reflect
the effects of decisions which were made.

The figures above illustrate a few of the possible statistics. The top-left
graph in the image shows the actual stock of a product (the red line), the
committed stock (the green line) and the ordered stock (the blue line). When a
shipment is delivered, or received, this information is reflected in the chart
as shown in the "Stock: Server" chart. It appears that a shipment of 20 servers
has been received on day 37 of the game, therefore the blue line fell back to
zero (there was apparently only one shipment which had been scheduled).
The image below shows the average size of a committed order to a
customer, as well as the minimum and maximum order size as sampled during the
game play.

Manipulating the graphs
By default, the range of the statistics will show the total time of a game on
the x-axis. However, often one wants to have an 'auto range' for a statistic.
This means that the range for the x-axis of a statistic is based on the played
time of a game, and not on the total game time. As a result, more details will
become visible. The range of the x-axis of the statistic then is automatically
updated as a game progresses in time. The illustrations below give an overview
how 'auto arranging' works. By clicking with the right mouse button when
pointing at a statistic, a menu appears (see illustration). You have to select
the "Auto Arrange" option, and the type of auto range you would like to use. In
this case we selected "Both Axes".

When the left button is clicked on the "Both Axes" option, the result as
illustrated in the figure below is shown. We see that our range for the
horizontal axis went back from more than 200 till 10. Furthermore we see a small
difference in the chart which we before could hardly distinguish. The four
statistics shown in the first example above have all been auto arranged, as you
will notice by now.
