Advanced Display Options (TrendWorX)

Every object in an TrendWorX64 Viewer display has a set of Advanced properties that control a number of the fine features you see on a TrendWorX64 Viewer display. These properties appear on the TrendWorX64 Viewer Configurator's Advanced tab. Some properties are shared by different objects (such as the viewer, tabs, and charts), while other properties apply to one type of object and not the others. At the bottom of the Advanced tab is a tool tip panel, which you can resize for better viewing; select a property on the tab to view a description of that property in the tool tip panel.

The Pen's Advanced Properties

If you select multiple Pen objects in the TrendWorX64 Viewer Configurator, you can edit the properties of the Pen objects simultaneously. This works even if you select Pen objects that are writing to different plots.

Note: For a description of the Appearance tab, refer to Appearance Tab Options for TrendWorX. For a description of other options for a chart, refer to Chart Options.

The following table summarizes the properties that are available for each type of object.
