When the Plots view, clientHyperGraph-24, is selected, all plot entities are displayed in a tree structure.

The tree contains plot entities grouped within their page and window.  For example, a folder for each page is displayed and can be expanded to view all plots on the page.  When each window folder is expanded (for example, w1:XY Plot in the image below), all entities for that window are visible (curves, datum lines, headers/footers/legend, titles, and so on).  You can select multiple entities of the same type at the same time, but you cannot select multiple entities of different types.

You can select a plot window attribute under the window heading (for example, Legend or X1 in the image below) to highlight the entity in the graphical area.  The properties for that entity are displayed in the Properties Table area, located in the lower portion of the plot browser.

If you select Legend, for example, the legend is highlighted and surrounded by a yellow border and the legend's properties are displayed in the Properties Table.

Similarly, clicking on a curve or vector displays its properties in the Properties Table.  Vectors are shown in the tree under their corresponding curves.  To apply a filter on an x or y vector property, right-click on the x or y vector’s property in the Properties Table and select Add as filter.  After a value is given to that filter, all vectors with that value for that property are shown in the browser, with their corresponding curves.  See Plot Browser Filters for more information.

A sample browser tree with the Plots view selected is shown below:

The following properties are visible and editable in the Properties Table when Plot view is selected:

Cursor Always Visible

Select this option to always display the plot’s cursor, even if you click on another window on the page.  This is helpful when you are synchronizing animation, plot, and video windows.  The cursor(s) allows you to see the current animation time step on the plot, even when the plot window is not active.

For example, in the image below, the animation window is the active window, but the cursors on the plot are still visible.
