The means by which you specify the properties that are associated with a trace's line and markers varies, depending on the X-Y-Z Plot's 'Drawing Mode' (see Configure the Background Color and Drawing Mode). When the 'Drawing Mode' is set to 'Connect by Point', you configure the properties using fields in the Trace Properties window. For information on displaying the Trace Properties window, see Configure a Trace.
(When a Drawing Mode other than 'Connect by Point' is selected, the fields shown below are 'grayed out' and unavailable for use in the Trace Properties window.)
Use the Line section of the window to specify these properties:
- Color: Use the Color button to specify the required color. You can select a color from the Color Palette or select the ... option to display the Color window. You can use the Color window to create a custom color (see Using the Color Window in the Geo SCADA Expert Guide to Core Configuration).
- Style: Use this combo box to define the appearance of the line that Geo SCADA Expert draws between the values. You can select a solid line or a dashed line (there are several types of dashed line).
- Width: Use this spin box to specify the thickness of the line.
Use the Markers section of the window to specify these properties:
- Size: Use this combo box to define the size of the markers. You can choose a size from 1 (the smallest size) to 5 (the largest size).
- Style: Use the combo box to specify the shape of the markers. You can choose Diamond, Square, or Cross shapes.
