Graph: Fixed Scale Factor menu improvements

Scale factor will be set to 1 without need to open dialog

By default many graph types are set so text, line, etc. graph element scales with layer frame. When a layer is shrunk, the text or line resizes. That’s why when you select text in graph, on status bar, it shows two Size (actual) = 22 (10.1)

Most users just want to set the Scaling factor to 1 so element doesn’t resize with layer. There is really no need to popup a dialog which most users just click OK to close it.
