There are several ways you can apply selected properties to your charts
using the Chart Configuration dialog box:
- Select a new pen
in the Pen List.
- Click OK.
- Click Apply.
- Select the Apply
to All Pens check box.
Each of these methods are described in the following table.

Select a new pen in the Pen List
|
Automatically apply properties based on the selected
data source. This method takes precedence over other methods of applying
properties: you do not have to click OK or Apply to apply the pen property,
and, if you click Cancel after
you have selected a pen, the properties are still applied.
|
|
Click OK
|
Quickly apply selected properties to your chart and
close the Chart Configuration dialog box.
No matter which method you use to apply properties,
you must click OK to close the dialog box.
|
|
Click Apply
|
View a property change immediately without closing
the Chart Configuration dialog box. For example, if you want to change
the foreground color of a chart from gray to white, change the color and
click Apply. The color of the chart will change while the Chart Configuration
dialog box stays on your screen.
You are not
required to click Apply to apply properties to your chart.

Select the Apply to All Pens check box
|
Apply properties to all pens added to a chart. Refer
to the Applying Properties to all Pens section below for more information.

Applying Properties to all Pens
iFIX allows you to easily define time, X and Y axis, grid, and legend
properties for every pen you add to your chart. You can do this by simply
selecting the Apply to All Pens check box on the Chart tabbed page. For
example, you may want all of the pens in your chart to have the same legend.
To accomplish this, click the Legend tab and select the properties you
want. Next, select the Apply to All Pens check box. Exit the dialog box
by clicking OK.
