ZEMAX
supports a great deal of customization of the various supported
features. For example, the drawing options on a 2D Layout plot may
easily be modified to always draw 7 rays instead of the default
3. The modified defaults may be saved for each lens file and analysis
feature independently.
ZEMAX also has
a powerful capability to generate custom reports which summarize
the optical system performance. These reports may show any 4 or
6 graphics ZEMAX can generate on a single page. Any particular
choice of displayed graphics can be saved as a custom report,
which becomes an option on the menu bar, for quick generation
of the report for any lens file desired.

Any ZEMAX output window may be combined with any other
ZEMAX output to form a 4 or 6 window report graphic

A feature called
the universal plot displays a graph of any computed value as
a function of any lens parameter. For example, a plot of MTF
vs. decenter of lens 7 can quickly be generated for a tolerance
study. Once defined, the plot may be saved as a feature in ZEMAX,
which will appear on the menu bar. Using this technique, new
features may be added to the ZEMAX interface without the need
for any programming.
