Chart Group

1 min read

Table of Contents

A Chart-Group is a chart container, a window containing a potentially infinite number of chart windows.

Each chart window must belong to a Chart-Group

A Chart-Group is contained in a Workspace. Within the Workspace, Chart-Group is accessible from its respective Tab, identifiable by Chart-Group name:

Create a new Chart-Group #

To create a new Chart-Group:

1. Access Workspace where you want to create the Chart-Group

2. Select from menu bar: New > Chart-Group

or press “+” button on chart-group Tabs:

or select Chart-Groups menu > New <VOID>

Once new Chart-Group has been created, corresponding Tab is added to existing tabs. You can move Chart-Group Tab as you wish by dragging it to the right or left.

Access an existing Chart-Group #

To access an open Chart-Group, select the Tab corresponding to the Chart-Group name.

Close a Chart-Group #

You can close a Chart-Group at any time without losing its contents. A closed Chart-Group is NOT deleted, but simply removed from the current workspace, and can be reopened at any time.

There are several ways to close a Chart-Group:

  • Click X on the Chart-Group tab (top right).
  • Right-click on Chart-Group tab > Close.
  • Menu Chart-Groups > Close.

Reopen an existing Chart-Group #

When a Chart-Group is closed, it is not permanently deleted but put in stand-by keeping all charts contained and their settings.

You can reopen a Chart-Group by pressing Stand-by Chart-Groups button and selecting the Chart-Group to reopen:

or by pressing “+” button and selecting the Chart-Group to reopen:

or by selecting the Chart-Group to reopen from Chart-Groups menu:

Rename / Delete a Chart-Group #

You can rename or delete a Chart-Group from Chart-Groups menu > Rename / Delete:

or by right-clicking on Chart-Group Tab > Rename / Delete:

Detach a Chart-Group #

A Chart-Group can be detached from the workspace window and placed, for example, on a second monitor (NOT RECOMMENDED).

If you have two or more monitors, we strongly recommend not detaching the Chart-Group from the workspace window. Instead, create a new workspace to optimize graphics refresh performance.

Relocate Chart-Group Tab #

You can reposition the Chart-Group Tab as you like using drag & drop (click and hold the left mouse button on the tab, drag it left or right, then release to set the new position).
