The results of the graphs are displayed as colours on the 2 dimensional graph with a colour bar up the right hand side showing the ranges for each colour. Any optimisations using the search function are performed according to the particular result that you have chosen.

There are currently 6 results to choose from:

	Maximum Height - for optimisations for altitude record attempts;
	Maximum Speed - for optimisations for two stage rockets - booster stage;
	Maximum Acceleration - guard against excessive acceleration if you are using special equipment onboard;
	Time to Apogee - a `quick and dirty' way of optimising for maximising flight time for parachute but by choosing only a short limit on the model so as to speed up the search (see Model Time);
	Flight Time - for the US Science Olympiad Water Rocketry event; and,
	Distance Downrange - for Japanese Water Rocketry competitions.

Once you have selected one of these, you are not stuck with it - you will not need to recalculate the entire plot to see another output variable - as you can switch between them in the plot screen. See Optimisations for more details.
