Description of "Detail" Dialog Box (D2000/Creating Graphic Presentation Windows/Configuration of Compositions, Graphs and Reports/Graphs/Configuration/Objects)

"Detail" dialog box

A dialog window is intended for a configuration of objects (flows) in a graph. Every object has its own Detail window to set the parameters. Order of the objects is changed by buttons

Alternate graph object

Alternate object is a special default "object". The object reserves a place for the graphic flow, data of which are gained from the script of the picture, where the corresponding graph is placed. Displaying and contents of this object is defined in the picture script. A graph does not contain this object until it is activated from the script. Its label is "*".

Description

Description of the given object which will be shown in the graph table - the column Name. It is possible to use the Dictionary (to open press CTRL+L).
If the parameter is not entered, the graph table will contain the description defined in the object configuration* (the parameter Description). If there is no description defined in the object configuration, the table graph will show the object name.


* For structured objects - if a structured object is archived, or it uses the reference to object which is archived, the description or the name of object from the archive will be used. This description is obtained based on the archived object. Mostly it is obtained from the definition of object, which is archived. If structured object is not archived, the column description from the structure definition will be used. If this column does not exist, the description of the structured object with the row number and column name will be used.

* For structured archive objects - there is used the description or name of object from archive. This description is obtained based on the archived object. Mostly it is obtained from the definition of object, which is archived. Name of the column structured archive object does not includes the name of column.

Note: The description in the graph table may be modified from a script.

Interactive

If the option Interactive is checked off and the User places mouse pointer on some value in the graph, this value is emphasized by circle.

Tooltip

Placing the mouse pointer on some value in the graph the window with activity name and its value will be displayed.

Note: Option Tooltip is visible only if the option Interactive is checked off.

Technical units

Technical units of the object that will be displayed in the graph. Technical units will be shown in the graph table - the column Units.
If the parameter is not entered, the graph table will contain the technical units defined in the object configuration* (the parameter Technical units). If there is no technical units defined in the object configuration, the table graph will show no technical units.

* For structured objects - if the structured object is archived, there will be used the technical units defined for respective archive object (object of Historical value type). If is not archived, there will be used the technical units defined in the configuration of the structured object.

Universal column

The parameter allows to define content of the column Universal. Items of the parameter are described for the parameter Table columns.

Visible in table

Shows / hides the object in the graph table.
If the parameter is not checked off, the object will not be displayed in the graph table but its flow will be displayed.

Drawing

Defines a drawing style relative to zero value on y-axis.

  • From X axis - drawing starts from x-axis

  • Above 0 - drawing starts from 0 (zero) on Y-axis upward

  • Below 0 - drawing starts from 0 (zero) on Y-axis downward

Enable drawing

If the option is checked off, the graphic flow of the object will be drawn immediately after opening the graph on D2000 HI desktop. If not checked off, the graphic flow will not be displayed after opening the graph (can be enabled later from the graph window).

Drawing order

The parameter defines an order of flow drawing. If the same value is set for more flows, they are drawn according to the serial number.

Each layers of the graph are drawn in the following order:

  1.  Flow fill

  2.  Raster

  3.  Lines + texts

Level

Allows to specify membership to a particular level. Admissible values are in the range 0..50.

This setting is applied when the option displaying in Object levels is selected either in graph configuration dialog box or in the panel above the graph window. For more information on this topic - see the chapter "Graph configuration" dialog box.

Assigned axis

Selection of axis that is to be assigned to the object. Assigning an axis is performed by selection of corresponding axis number (from 1 to 99) from Axis number item.

A symbol close to Axis number displays the axis type - A = analogue, D/<figure> = digital/number of level. Level and description on digital axis is not possible to set if some point uses the analogue axis. These data are not necessary then.


Note:
If the object is Boolean type, the digital axis has to be assigned to it. Object values will be drawn onto the digital axis for which you must select a level (Digital axis level and description item). Each of defined levels can have a description.
Using the digital axes is described in details in the topic Axis configuration.

Digital axis level and description

Number and description of the digital axis.

Sensitivity

Sets the sensitivity for point on the graph to display the values. The value will display with different y-coordinate as the previous value only if the value change is higher than sensitivity.
For example - the value 0.000589 comes to be drawn in graph. Next value is 0.000587 which will be drawn as change in graph only if the sensitivity is 0.000001, otherwise the line is drawn on the level 0.000589.

Draw till a current time

Some of the flows can contain prepared data to the future, e.g. the predictive flows. The option limits a data drawing up to the current time.

Drop spaces

Causes to leave out the spaces without data in a graph flow.

Draw

Selection the parameters for graph drawing. By marking the individual parameters is possible to define the particular parameters of drawing. The options for definition are displayed in the right part of configuration window. Only parameters for line, fill and marker can be defined together.

Line

Defines the colour, style (solid line, dotted line, ...), transparency (0-transparent, 100-opaque) and line width in the range of 0,5 - 5,5 multiple of a point width on the screen.

Fill

Fill pattern of the line and transparency (0-transparent, 100-opaque).
