Curve Labels
This option can be used to automatically add a prefix to each of the curve legends when a curve is plotted.
This option has 3 settings:
|
If there is more that 1 model loaded in T/HIS then a prefix will automatically be added to any curves that have been read in from a model. Curves read in from other files will not be prefixed. |
|
A prefix will automatically be added to any curves that have been read in from a model regardless of the number of models currently loaded in T/HIS. Curves read in from other files will not be prefixed. |
|
No prefixes will be added |
This option can be used to set the format used for the curve prefix. This option has 4 settings
| The model number will be used as the prefix. e.g (M1) | |
| The directory name the model was read from will be used at the prefix. e.g. (/run1) | |
| THF File | The root name of the THF file will be used as the prefix. e.g (sled_test) |
| User Defined | A user defined prefix will be used. The prefix can be defined on a model by model case using the Model Menu. |
The font, size and colour of the text used to display the legends can also be specified.
Layout
This format fixes the size of the plotting area. The maximum number of curve legends that can be displayed will depend on the font family and size selected by the user and the number of columns. If any USER LINES have been defined then the area used to display the legend will be reduced so that the text does not cover the user lines. Automatic 
This format automatically adjusts the plot size to maximise the plotting area while still showing a maximum of 18 line labels. Any text entered using the USER LINES option will be ignored in this plotting mode. |
|
T/HIS has 4 different plotting formats as described below. The number
of columns used to display the curve legends can also be set between 1
& 3. When multiple columns are used curve labels will automatically
be truncated to fit the available space.
|
This format turns the display of the graph legend and maximises the plotting area by not showing any line labels. Any text entered using the USER LINES option will be ignored in this plotting mode.
|
|
|
This format maximises the plotting area and positions the legend on top of the graph area.
|
|
|
The legend can also be moved by clicking with the left mouse button inside the legend and dragging. |
|
The size of the legend can be modified by clicking with the left mouse
button on the legend border/corner and dragging.
BACKGROUND
This option can be used to alter the default background colour of the
floating legend. By default the colour will be the same as the background
colour of the graph. As well as setting a different background colour
for the floating legend a %age transparency can also be specified if the
legend obscures any curves. |
USER LINES
This option can be used to alter the default text that appears on the
bottom right-hand corner of each plot. Text can be typed into any of the
panels or they can be left blank. The
of the text may be altered. If no text is specified the area used by the
curve legends will be increased.
The default values are read from the preferences file (see Appendix H for more details). |
