Marker and Lines

The Marker and Lines dialogbox can be called by means of the Pulldown-menu <Options> menu point <Marker and Lines> or with click on the Icon in the Statusbar and also with the combination of keys <Control + M (^ M)>.

In addition this menu pops up by clicking doubly of the markers in the coordinate system (chart) graph with the left mouse button and with right mouse button for pop up menu.

In the TestMode a change of the markers affects itself directly, if the markers in the chart are changed. In the EvaluationMode a change of the marker from the Pulldown-menu can be pre-setting it for the next Plot.

You can change the marker also by clicking the appropriate column head in the ArrayEditor. 

The upper half of the dialogbox is for adjustment of the marker, and the lower half for adjustment of the line type for the current graph. Both can be represented coloured, but also specially adjusted white only for the markers. The thickness and size are in points or pixel. 

• Bar Chart Front Pattern
  

Bar Charts have their own dialogbox for the front pattern and fill styles. In fact it is a similar dialog as for other filled objects.

Curve Pattern

Here the filling pattern for the graph and the Integral is setup. The filling pattern for the Bar Chart is setup in the associated dialogbox.

The first two left columns are firmly colours. The middle row is for bar patterns, which can have also arbitrary colours. The colours of these columns are setup by clicking the colour button under it. Then the standard dialogbox from Windows appears. SimplexNumerica used an index on these columns instead the direct colour. If you change the colour, then the colour in the entire evaluation will be changed certainly only if it to refers to it.

Hair Cross

The Hair Cross is for measuring points of the graph in the chart. The respective world coordinates are shown in the right Toolbar field. The number of decimal places is the same as for the scaling of the coordinate system.

The Hair Cross left with left or right mouse-click.

Cursor

The cursor is a Hair Cross which follows the course of the momentarily current graph.   In the TestMode there is only one graph available. In the EvaluationMode you must select the right graph, e.g. with click on it.

The origin of the cross is moved with the help of the mouse along the curve.

The cursor engages on each sample point of the graph. One can have influence on its speed, by omits some points. The cursor becomes faster, because it points practice jumps. If the cursor however carries more points forward, then it becomes more slowly.

Setup of the cursor speed with following keys: 

Cursor up:              faster

Cursor down:         more slowly

First the cursor indicates absolute values. After one click with the left mouse button values showing relative to the last mark set. Next left click shows again absolute coordinates and so on.

The cursor is terminated with the right mouse button.

Expand

Would like to expand the graphs among the coordinate system so do it herewith. It appears a perpendicular line with current indication of the coordinates in the Toolbar. With one mouse-click the first border of the interval is set, whereby it is unimportant whether first xmin or xmax is set.

After that, the graphs with the measured values are expanded immediately. After Expand the interval borders are shifted. SimplexNumerica adapted x_min, y_min, x_max and y_max.

Zoom

The Pulldown-menu Zoom is practically similar to expanding. You must draw a rectangle with the mouse, which limits the interval of the x and y axis. These are the new coordinate borders.

Baseline

Set a Baseline with the mouse. The Baseline will be put as CurveData in the Memory Record.

Page Settings

At Page Settings you can change the main parameters of the current page. Among these parameters are paper size, paper orientation, resolution (DPI), and white margins crop.

SimplexNumerica supports standard paper sizes as well as user defined.

Orientation

Here you can select Portrait or Landscape paper orientation. Landscape orientation is simple turn of the sheet by 90 degrees. In the 2D or 3D window you can see proportional preview of paper.

Resolution (DPI)

In this field you can specify resolution (DPI) of images created by SimplexNumerica. This value directly influences image detail: the larger is DPI value, the more detailed the image will be. But you should keep in mind that required memory and file size will also increase. Normally use the standard values.

Background

Background allows you to set a background colour or image. You can also change the colour of the border on your page. The default is white for the background. Though you can change them, it is probably better for your printer charge.

Margins

A margin determines the amount of space between the edge of the window and the contents of your page. A margin of 0 means the elements in your page (text, images, etc) begin right at the edge of the screen, so the default is to have a small margin between the edge of the screen and the page contents. You can increase or decrease this margin if you so desire.

Display Order

Here you can specify in which order the page is to be developed and painted.  

If you want to support e.g. the Vector drawing on top of the chart, then setup the order C-L-V.

Re-adjust Page

The page is made smaller on the vertical window height.

Original Page

The page is displayed in 100%.
