Making Chart widgets

This procedure describes how to create a chart widget using the Make Widget wizard.

A Px View canvas is open. No open palette is required.
  1. Open the Nav side bar and expand the tree to locate the component to add to the Px Editor canvas.


  2. Drag the component to the canvas.
    The Make Widget wizard opens.

    The ord for the selected component displays in the ord area.

  3. To browse for a different slot in the component (for example: out, value) or to bind to a different component, double click the ord and select a different ord.
  4. Select Chart in the source options list.
    The source properties display.

  5. Configure the X Column and Y Column (x and y axes) of the chart and the Time Range.
  6. To complete the wizard, click OK.
    The Make Widget wizard closes and the new Chart widget opens on the Px Editor canvas.

  7. Edit the widget by doing one or both of the following:

    • To allow the plot to display completely, resize the widget.

    • To edit the chart’s widget properties (header, lines, fonts, and so on), use the Widget Tree and Properties tree on the right.



  8. To display the Chart in the Px Viewer, click Toggle View/Edit Mode () in the tool bar.
    The viewer opens.
