Change the Appearance of an X-Y-Z Plot

When you create a new X-Y-Z Plot, ClearSCADA applies the default settings that are defined in the Options window (see Define the Default Settings for New X-Y-Z Plots). You can change the settings for an individual X-Y-Z Plot so that they differ from the default X-Y-Z Plot settings. This is useful when you want an X-Y-Z Plot to use, for example, different colors or fonts.

To change the appearance of an individual X-Y-Z Plot:

1. Display the X-Y-Z Plot in Design mode (see Display an X-Y-Z Plot in Design Mode).
2. Perform one of the following:
   • Double-click on a blank area of the X-Y-Z Plot.

   Or:

   1. Right-click on an area of the X-Y-Z Plot other than an axis.
      A context-sensitive menu is displayed.
   2. Select the Properties option.

   The X-Y-Z Plot Properties window is displayed.

   

3. Use the window to:
   • Configure the X-Y-Z Plot's Title
   • Configure the Background Color and Drawing Mode
   • Configure the Line and Marker Properties when in 'Connect by Timestamp' or 'Connect by Point and Timestamp' Mode.
4. Select the Save button to store the changes to the X-Y-Z Plot.
