Dialog Reference | PopChart Builder User Guide 4.0.5 |
Each object in a appearance file has certain advanced properties that will not normally be changed by a user. These properties are usually only applicable for appearance files built for PopChart Server.
An object can be one of three types: Graph, Legend, or TextBox. You can not change this setting.
If a project is going to be used with PopChart Server, each object inside of it should have a unique name. This name will be used for reference as you send your dynamic data to PopChart Server.
This specifies the position and size of the currently selected object in the appearance file. Normally, you'll want to move and resize the object with your mouse. However, if you need more precision, changing these settings with this dialog may be helpful.
The y coordinate, in pixels, of the top edge of the object.
The x coordinate, in pixels, of the left edge of the object.
The height, in pixels, of the object.
The width, in pixels, of the object.
This specifies where to anchor the currently selected object. Anchors determine how the object will grow or shrink as the data in the object is modified. This is an especially useful control mechanism for templates and appearance file being used as appearance files for PopChart Server. In both cases, objects usually grow, shrink, or are repositioned dynamically. By anchoring an object, you can be sure that it will stay where you want it to stay. For example, if you anchor the graph to the Center vertically and Left horizontally, you can be sure that the vertical center of the graph will always be in the same spot and that the left edge of the graph will always be in the same spot.
You can anchor your object vertically in one of three positions: Top, Center, or Bottom.
You can anchor your object horizontally in one of three positions: Left, Center, or Right.
