Plot Browser

The HyperGraph 2D Plot Browser is located in the tab area sidebar and allows you to view the HyperGraph 2D plot structure.

The Plot Browser tools allow you to search, display, and edit entities and their properties within the current session. The plot structure is viewed as a flat, listed tree structure within the browser. However, if the plot has a hierarchy, then the Plot Browser accommodates this hierarchical structure. From the Plot Browser, you can select entities one at a time or several simultaneously using common selection techniques. You can also use the Plot Browser's context-sensitive menus to select entities. You can use the Plot Browser to perform many of the operations available in the HyperGraph 2D panels, thus allowing you to modify your plot and curve properties in one location. Some of these operations include:
  • Perform single curve math and multiple curve math operations.
  • Rename curves.
  • Modify or delete curve properties, such as:
    • Curve attributes
    • Legends
    • Notes
    • Datum Lines
    • Axes
    • Plot options
    • Plot macros
The Plot Browser can be turned on or off using the View > Browsers > HyperGraph 2D > Plot menu options. A check mark indicates that the HyperGraph 2D Plot Browser is activated for display in the tab area.
Note: The Plot Browser can also be positioned to appear on the right side of the page (the right tab area).
