# Modifying Chart Attributes

To modify the title, legend display, or any attribute of the chart itself, select the whole chart or double-click on the title, then use the “Edit/Properties” option. The “Chart Detail” dialog box contains the following information:

Library name – The name used to load the chart into your application program.

Title – The title shown on the top of the chart.

Axes on edges – If checked, numbering and tic marks will be forced to appear on the edges of the plot area. For better visual reference, two extra axes will be drawn on both the top and right sides of the plot area.

Time trace plot -- Setting this option implies that the chart is a time trace plot. Whenever a variable being monitored by the chart is modified, its new value is plotted along the Y-axis and the current simulation time is plotted along the X-axis.

Show legend -- Chart will show a legend below the plot area. The fill style and color of each data set is shown preceding its name.

Show border – A chart can be defined to draw a rectangular background underneath.

Data sets – A data set can be added using the “Add” button, or removed by selecting its name in the list box then pressing the “Remove” button. To change the name of a data set, select its current name in the list box then press the “Edit” button. (see Attributes of a Data Set)

Handling of Multiple Data Sets -- If “stacked”, all discrete data sets will be stacked on top of each other. In other words, the value plotted in a data cell is reflected as the height of the bar, not its top. Therefore, stacking means that bottom of a cell in data set n is equal to the top of the same cell in data set n-1. I.e. higher numbered data sets are stacked onto the lower numbered ones.
