Brings up a dialog box with Fathom’s preferences with five settings.

 

Font Size for Text in Objects: Use the pop-up menu to choose Largest to make Fathom more readable, for example, when projecting Fathom onto a screen for a demonstration or talk. Affects all objects but text objects (control the size of text in text objects using the text palette or Text Size menu).

Linear Equation Form offers two choices in its pop-up menu to control how equations of lines are formatted: y=mx+b (default) or y=a+bx.

Give Audible User Feedback allows you to turn sounds on or off.

Show Statistical Objects on the Shelf allows you to hide or show icons for the estimate, test, and model objects in the object shelf.

New Statistical Objects are Verbose determines whether statistical objects (estimates, tests, and models) are verbose or terse by default. (see Shorten the Output in Statistical Inference Objects)

On Mac this command is in the Fathom menu.
