Basic parameters of the graph are being defined in the Graph configuration dialog box - Parameters tab.
A text string describing the content of the graph. Description along with the name will be displayed in the list of graphs.
Possibility to use the Dictionary (to open press CTRL+L).
Timeseries graph | |
Live Data | The parameter allows automatic drawing the flows of the objects, values of which are being changed in time (live data). |
XY Graph | If the option is marked, it is XY graph, otherwise it is the time graph. |
Length | Time length determines the range of horizontal time axis (x-axis). |
Time shift | The parameter Time shift relates to a time length. It sets a periodic beginning of time axis. If time shifts is e.g. 1 hour then time axis will begin with whole hour. The parameter is enabled, if the parameter Live data is checked. |
Without Spaces | A space without data is not drawn (removed from graph). The size is set in a spin box. It relates to every flow which does not contains any data. The removed section starts from a rounded time according to section size and takes up to an integral multiple of the section size. If this value is 0 (zero), this feature is disabled. It can be activated from script when setting the interval on value higher then 1 minute. |
Objects
Together | Shows graphs together. |
Y - Axis Levels | Displaying graphs on different levels according to the membership to a particular axis. Note: If no graph is bound to an axis, the axis (and the level belonging to it) is not displayed. |
Objects Levels | Displaying graphs on different levels according to the membership to an explicitly specified level - which can be set in graph configuration dialog box. |
If the parameter is checked, all additive (subtractive) graphic flows, which are hidden using the button 2 in the graph window, will be added/subtracted into/from the graph. | |
If checked, the flows of periodical archive data in the graph are to be drawn by the stored time of the data (see the parameter Stored time in the configuration of object of Historical value type). |
Enables/disables the description of Y-axis if is defined (the parameter Axis description in the Axis configuration dialog box).
Show
The checkboxes are used to show or hide the particular parts of the graph window after opening. Checked items mean that corresponding parts will be displayed after opening the graph. Descriptive graph table, pointer, grid and common y-axis settings may be enabled/disabled in the graph window by means of corresponding buttons.
Setting the export subdirectory that can be done in two ways:
The button has three states and enables to configure two ways of hiding the table in connection with the size of graph window.
First way enables to hide / show the table after clicking . It is indicated by grey / yellow color of table icon in the graph. The second one enables to hide the table after the graph window is reduced, which is indicated by dark grey / red color of icon.
The checkboxes are used to show or hide the particular parts of the graph window after opening. Checked items mean that corresponding parts will be displayed after opening the graph. Descriptive graph table, pointer, grid and common y-axis settings may be enabled / disabled in the graph window by means of corresponding buttons.
Maximum lines that are displayed in the table below graph. If there are defined more flows in the graph, they will be available through the scrollbar.
The parameters allow to define the contents at most 6 columns of the graph table. There are the following options:
Note: For graphs containing live data (the parameter Live data is checked), there are evaluated all values within the time interval including last value. Last value of non-periodic data is not evaluated.
Custom colors
You can set a color of the window background, graph area, time axis and significant time. To select a color of corresponding part use the arrow buttons located right from the currently color example. The color palette is opened after clicking any of these buttons. Each change of a color is displayed in graph preview located right from the buttons.
