On this dialog you can choose the appearance and behaviour of the Analyzer View.
Analyzer Display Type
This selects the kind of analysis that you want to show. Spectrum shows a graph of intensity per frequency. Spectrogram shows how the spectrum changes over time. Turning the analyzer display off is useful if you want to work with the Overtone Sliders alone.
Scroll Mode
The Scroll Mode determines what happens when the time cursor reaches the end of the visible range during recording and playback.
Scrolling: keeps the time cursor at fixed position and scrolls the window to the left.
Paging: switches to a new empty page and then moves the time cursor across the page.
Spectrum Type
Here you can select various options for the appearance of the spectrum.
Smooth Spectrogram Colors
If the frequency resolution is low, this will interpolate the colors between two consecutive points on the spectrogram if they are further than 1 pixel apart on the frequency axis.

Note: This setting is different from the Interpolate colors checkbox found on the Colormap Editor. The setting on the Colormap Editor determines which color represents each intensity value. The "Smooth Spectrogram Colors" setting applies to the rendering of the spectrogram where pixels need to be colored for which there is no data. With Smooth Spectrogram Colors enabled, the pixels between two data points will be interpolated with colors from the start and end point. With this setting turned off, half the pixels will be drawn with the color of the first data point, and the other half with the color of the second.
