Dialog Reference | PopChart Builder User Guide 4.0.5 |
These settings affect how PopChart Builder will run in general. They can be accessed by selecting Edit > Preferences from the PopChart Builder interface. If you change one of these settings, the change will affect PopChart Builder every time you use it, not just how it behaves for the current appearance file.
The settings on this page affect how PopChart Builder behaves in general.
If checked, PopChart Builder will begin with the PopChart Wizard. Otherwise, it will begin with an empty project.
If checked, PopChart Builder will restart at the same location and with the same size on your screen as when you last exited the program. Otherwise, it will restart in its default location with the default size.
If checked, PopChart Builder will place new dialogs in the same location as when they were last closed. This means if you move a dialog once, you will not have to do it again.
This determines whether the PopChart Wizard will start with templates (choose Templates, which is selected by default) or with the standard graph types (choose Standard Types).
These options allow you to control how PopChart Builder will show your PopChart images when you click on the browser preview button.
Allows you to change the default format of your PopChart images. The available settings are:
If checked, this box tells PopChart Builder to generate descriptive text for the visually impaired with each new project.
The number of projects that PopChart Builder will remember in the Files > Recent Projects menu item.
This is the location for all templates. PopChart Builder will look at this location when showing you the available templates. By default, it is set to the lib/Templates folder inside of the PopChart Builder root directory.
The settings in this dialog pane affect how PopChart Builder saves your appearance file.
These settings control how PopChart Builder will generate your appearance file's PopChart XML.
PopChart Builder will output all attributes and elements, regardless of whether or not they are using the default value. Not only does this setting produce a large appearance file, but it takes PopChart Server up to 4 times longer to process this appearance file. This option is provided mostly to help you learn more about PopChart XML.
PopChart Builder will remove any attributes or elements that are set to their default value, making your appearance file as small as possible. This is the default setting.
This controls how PopChart Builder saves the data in your appearance file. The only reason you would want to change this setting is to learn how your PopChart XML should look if you need to import data in PopChart XML using a row/column spreadsheet format instead of the default series/categories/data format.
PopChart Builder exports the data as it normally would, using Series, Category, and Data tags. This is the default setting.
PopChart Builder exports the data in spreadsheet form, using Row and Cell tags.
This controls whether or not PopChart Builder will notify you of errors in PCXML documents that it opens. By default, this is turned off. This functionality is provided to help you check the validity of your PCXML documents.
Allows you to specify the version of PCXML to use for saving appearance files. If this is not selected, your appearance files will be saved in the 4.0 format. If it is selected, they will be saved in the 4.0.5 format.
Many elements and attributes have been added or renamed since the 4.0 version of PCXML. You cannot use appearance files in the current PCXML version with previous versions of PopChart Builder. However, the current version of PopChart Builder supports previous versions of PCXML.
To maintain backwards compatibility, PopChart Builder saves appearance files in the PCXML 4.0 format by default. If you are using PopChart Server 4.0.5, you can take advantage of new PCXML features by checking this box.
This is the default location for all saved files. By default, this is set to the chart_root/apfiles folder inside of the PopChart root directory.
This dialog pane allows you to change the system font used by PopChart Builder. If you are unable to see international or double-byte characters when you type them in your text boxes, you can resolve that problem by choosing a font that supports your international or double-byte characters. To change the font, select it by double-clicking or pressing Select. The click OK.
You can change the font back to the default font by clicking the Use Default button.
