Curve plot attributes menu item
This item pops up a window that allows you to set plot attributes for curve plots. If you select a curve plot from the
Active plots
list in the MeshTV
Main
window, then attributes you change and apply will be applied to the selected plot. Unselected curve plots will not be changed. If you select this item without selecting a curve plot first, you will have to select a curve plot before you can apply the changes. Note that if you make any changes and then select a curve plot, you will lose your changes since the window will update with the attributes of the selected plot.
You can modify the default settings for attributes of future plots by opening this window, making your changes, and then pressing the
Make default
button. This affects only future plots, not existing ones, and stays in effect only for the remainder of the current MeshTV session unless you also select
Save settings
from the
File
menu.
Curve plot attributes window
The
Curve plot attributes
window looks like
Curve plot attributes
, if you are using MeshTV's defaults. If you aren't, the values might be different.
This window allows you to set the attributes assigned to existing and future curve plots. The attributes include things like line color and whether a legend should be plotted. To assign the output window which receives curve plots (when you draw lines in the line-out mode) or to indicate that you want to replace existing plots when a new curve is generated, you must open the
Line-out
window in the
Controls
menu at the top of the MeshTV
Main
window.
If you don't see a description for an item in this window, check in the Shared items section near the front of the chapter.
Labels toggle
This toggle allows you to turn curve labels on and off. Labels provide identification, but if you have too many curves in a given window, the labels can obscure too much information to be useful.
