The functionalities of Plot2d viewer are available via its Viewer Toolbar. Buttons marked with small downward triangles have extended functionality which can be accessed by locking on them with left mouse button.

Viewer Toolbar

Dump View - exports an object from the viewer in bmp, png, jpg or jpeg image format.

Fit all - scales the display to show the entire scene. Use this to resize the scene so that it could fit within the Viewer boundary.

Fit area - resizes the view to place in the visible area only the contents of a frame drawn with pressed left mouse button.

Zoom - allows to zoom in and out.

Panning - if the represented objects are greater that the visible area and you don't wish to use Fit all functionality, click on this button and you'll be able to drag the scene to see its remote parts.

Global panning - allows to define the center of the scene presenting all displayed objects in the visible area.

Draw Points - switch display mode to the Points mode. In this mode, each curve is displayed as a set of points.

Draw Lines - switch display mode to the Lines mode. In this mode, each curve is represented as a set of the plain line segments.

Draw Splines - switch display mode to the Splines mode. In this mode, each curve is represented as a spline.

These buttons allow to switch horizontal axis scale to the linear or logarithmic mode.
Note that the logarithmic mode of the horizontal axis scale is allowed only if the minimum value of abscissa component of displayed points is greater than zero.

These buttons allow to switch vertical axis scale to the linear or logarithmic mode.
Note that the logarithmic mode of the vertical axis scale is allowed only if the minimum value of ordinate component of displayed points is greater than zero.

Show Legend - Shows / hides information about the displayed objects in a legend.

Settings - provides an access to the settings dialog box, that allows to specify advanced parameters for the Plot 2d Viewer.

The options are as follows:

Main title the title of the XY plot. By default, it will consist of the names of the tables, on the basis of which the curve lines have been constructed.
Curve type you can select from Points, Lines and Spline.
Show legend here you can define the position of the description table on the XY plot (to the Left, to the Right, on Top or on Bottom).
Marker size - size of the points (markers) forming curve lines.
Background color of the XY plot.
Scale mode here you can select the type of scaling (Linear or Logarithmic) for X (Horizontal) or Y (Vertical) axes separately. Note that the Logarithmic scale can be used only if the minimum value of corresponding component (abscissa or ordinate) of all points displayed in the viewer is greater than zero.
Axis ... options group allows to specify additional settings for each axis separately:
- Axis title - an axis title
- Grid / Axes marks here you can define the maximum number of major and minor scale divisions for a specified axis. The real number of intervals fits to {1,2,5}*10^N, where N is a natural number, and doesn't exceed the maximum.
Save settings as default If this check box is marked, all XY plots will be displayed with these defined properties.

Clone view - opens a new duplicate scene.

Print view - print view scene.
