Design Pane

Design pane consists of two subpanes - left one displaying current chart and the right one displaying chart's properties. The right pane can show chart's properties in two modes:

  1. Design mode - the majority of the fields in the style structure are collapsed and a specialized object editor is assigned to each collapsed style.
  2. Expert mode - the majority of the styles are displayed in the tree with every tree's element representing a field in the style stucture.

To switch between the modes, select File>>Expert Mode menu and choose "On" or "Off" item.

To resize the chart, select one of the handles and drag it, or use Up, Down, Left and Right keys to adjust the size by 1 pixel in the desired direction. You might need to click outside of chart before using these keys.

NOTE. Charts with frame allow you to change the frame orientation by pressing SHIFT or CTRL keys on the keyboard and dragging the mouse over the chart.


Object Editors

Object editors are frameless dialogs that represent style structures or sets of attributes. After you modified the values inside the dialog you need to press either "Ok" or "Cancel" button to accept or reject all modifications.

To move the dialog, move cursor over the top of the dialog until it changes to MoveCursor and then click and drag the mouse. To resize the dialog move cursor to the right bottom corner until it changes to ResizeCursor and then click drag the mouse.
