Module: Plot In Viewer ()

Description:

You may connect this module tightly to a module that provides a plot window in order to display the plot within 's viewer. If that module creates more than one plot window, it may be useful to connect one Plot In Viewer module for each plot window. This may be useful, for example, to produce snapshots that contain the plot display inside the viewer. For better results, use a 1x1 tiling for the snapshot.

Connections:

Plot Module [required]
This port must be connected to a module providing a plot window and an interface to access this window. Histogram and Line Probe are examples for such modules.

Ports:

Which Plot Window

This port is only shown if there are more than one plot window created by the module it is connected to. Use it to select which plot to display in the viewer.

Plot Window

Pressing the Edit button opens the object editor window of the plot. If you press the Show plot window button, the extra plot window is shown on the screen. Pressing the same button again, the plot window vanishes.

Position

This port provides the following two toggles:

• relative position: Toggle between absolute or relative plot positions in viewer.
• cycle position: If there is more than one plot created by the plotting module, the plot position in the viewer is cycled through the four corners clockwise.

Absolute Position

Position of plot in viewer in absolute pixels relative to the lower left corner. If one of the numbers is negative, it is interpreted relative to the upper right corner.

Relative Position

Position of plot in viewer in normalized coordinates (0..1) relative to the lower left corner. If one of the numbers is negative, it is interpreted relative to the upper right corner.

Size

Size of the plot in pixels.

Options

This port provides the following two toggles:

• frame: Draw a frame around the plot in the viewer.
• transparent: If off, the plot has an opaque background.

  Note that according to the current transparency mode within the viewer, some objects may not be recognized correctly as being transparent. In case the plot is still opaque after checking on the transparent option, you can change the current transparent mode within the viewer via the menu View > Transparency.

Transparency

A value of 1 produces a completely transparent plot background, while 0 results in a fully opaque background.
