Graph Customization Configuration

From RadiWiki
Jump to: navigation, search

The Graph Customization Configuration window allows to customize the settings and look of the graphs.

This window can be shown from the Graphs button from within a test. In that case it will only modify the settings and configuration of the graph as it is shown in the test results of that specific test.

The global graph customization window can also be shown from the main configuration menu of RadiMation®. Any change in the graph configuration that is done in the global graph customization will then be shown in any new test that is performed after the change. As soon as a test is started, it will retrieve the global graph customization and use a copy of those settings in the test results. The test specific graph settings are then disconnected from the global graph customization and can thus only be adjusted in the graph customization settings of that specific test.

Chart

The Chart tab can be used to determine the colours and layout of the overall graph.

GraphCustomization Chart.png

The following settings can be modified:

ScreenElementDescription.png Back Color Shows the currently selected colour for the back(ground) of the graph. The colour can be changed by clicking on the colour itself.
ScreenElementDescription.png Grid Color Shows the currently selected colour for the grid of the graph. The colour can be changed by clicking on the colour itself.
ScreenElementDescription.png Text Color Shows the currently selected colour for the text around the graph. The colour can be changed by clicking on the colour itself.
ScreenElementDescription.png Line Style Shows the currently selected type of style that is used for the grid of the graph. Possible line styles are:
  • Dash
  • Dot
  • Thick
  • Thin
ScreenElementDescription.png Scaling Determines if the initial x-axis scaling of the graph should be shown linear or logarithmic.
ScreenElementDescription.png Graph divisions Set the amount of divisions to which the graph should be scaled.
ScreenElementDescription.png Graph title Allows to specify any text that will be shown in the title of the graph. This text may include report generator codes to include dynamic content.
ScreenElementDescription.png Graph subtitle Allows to specify any text that will be shown as a sub-title of the graph. This text may include report generator codes to include dynamic content.
ScreenElementDescription.png Graph bottom title Allows to specify any text that will be shown below the graph. This text may include report generator codes to include dynamic content.
ScreenElementDescription.png Hide logo in reports When checked, the RadiMation® logo will not be included in graphs that are included in generated reports.
ScreenElementDescription.png Use default Copies the settings of the global graph customization settings to test specific graph settings.
ScreenElementDescription.png Make this the default Copies the settings of the test specific graph settings as they are shown, to the global graph customization settings. Any new test that is performed will then use these graph customization settings.
ScreenElementDescription.png Restory factory default Changes all customizations of the selected graph-line back to the settings that are specified by Raditeq.


Graphs

The Graphs tab can be used to determine the colours, scaling and layout of each and every shown graph line.

GraphCustomization Graphs.png

The settings on the right side of the Graphs tab are the settings for the selected graph-line that is selected in the list on the left side of the Graphs tab.

The following settings can be modified:

ScreenElementDescription.png Graph lines Shows the list of currently known/available graph-lines. The exact settings of the graph line will be shown on the right side, as soon as a graph-line is selected from the Graph lines list.
ScreenElementDescription.png Color Shows the currently selected colour for the selected graph-line. The colour can be changed by clicking on the colour itself.
ScreenElementDescription.png Line style Shows the currently selected type of style that is used for the selected graph line.
ScreenElementDescription.png Line Maximum Determines the maximum of the scaling of the y-axis of the graph on which the graph line is shown. It is possible to select one of the methods:
ScreenElementDescription.png Auto RadiMation will automatically determine an appropriate maximum y-axis scaling, based on the values in the graph line
ScreenElementDescription.png Fixed It is possible to specify a fixed value for the maximum y-axis scaling. Even if the graph line contains higher values, the specified maximum y-axis value will be used
ScreenElementDescription.png Line Minimum Determines the minimum of the scaling of the y-axis of the graph on which the graph line is shown. It is possible to select one of the methods:
ScreenElementDescription.png Auto RadiMation will automatically determine an appropriate minimum y-axis scaling, based on the values in the graph line
ScreenElementDescription.png Fixed It is possible to specify a fixed value for the minimum y-axis scaling. Even if the graph line contains lower values, the specified minimum y-axis value will be used
ScreenElementDescription.png Fixed from maximum It is possible to specify a fixed value, which should be used to determine the minimum y-axis scaling based on the used maximum y-axis scaling. If this method is used, it is possible to always have a fixed y-axis scaling range, independent of the used y-axis scaling maximum. However, if the graph-line contains lower values, the specified y-axis scaling range value will still be used
ScreenElementDescription.png Remember the graph visibility state When checked, the graphline will remember if it was shown or hidden. Any new test or review of the test data will automatically use this state to show or hide the graphline.
ScreenElementDescription.png Show graph by default When checked, the graphline will automatically be shown in a new graph.
ScreenElementDescription.png Use default Copies the settings of the global graph customization settings to test specific graph settings.
ScreenElementDescription.png Make this the default Copies the settings of the test specific graph settings as they are shown, to the global graph customization settings. Any new test that is performed will then use these graph customization settings.
ScreenElementDescription.png Restory factory default Changes all customizations of the selected graph-line back to the settings that are specified by Raditeq.


The finally used y-axis scaling on a graph is determined by the specified settings of the shown graph lines. If multiple graph lines or markers are visible which use the same unit then only one y-axis for that unit is visible. That single y-axis is shared between all the graph lines and markers with the same unit. The maximum y-axis scaling value of that shared y-axis will then be the maximum of all the maximum y-axis scaling values that are configured for all the graph lines and markers that use that same unit. The minimum y-axis scaling value of that shared y-axis will then be the minimum of all the minimum y-axis scaling values that are configured for all the graph lines and markers that use that same unit.

Markers

The Markers tab can be used to determine the colours, style and scaling of each and every shown marker.

GraphCustomization Markers.png

The settings on the right side of the Markers tab are the settings for the selected marker that is selected in the list on the left side of the Markers tab.

The following settings can be modified:


ScreenElementDescription.png Graph markers Shows the list of currently known/available graph markers. The exact settings of the graph marker will be shown on the right side, as soon as a graph marker is selected from the Graph markers list.
ScreenElementDescription.png Color Shows the currently selected colour for the selected graph marker. The colour can be changed by clicking on the colour itself.
ScreenElementDescription.png Marker style Shows the currently selected type of style that is used for the selected graph marker.
ScreenElementDescription.png Marker Maximum Determines the maximum of the scaling of the y-axis of the graph on which the graph marker is shown. It is possible to select one of the methods:

If this method is used, it is possible to always have a fixed y-axis scaling range, independent of the used y-axis scaling maximum. However, if the graph marker has a lower value, the specified y-axis scaling range value will still be used
ScreenElementDescription.png Remember the graph visibility state When checked, the graph marker will remember if it was shown or hidden. Any new test or review of the test data will automatically use this state to show or hide the graph marker.
ScreenElementDescription.png Show graph by default When checked, the graph marker will automatically be shown in a new graph.
