Chart Display

Once a chart is selected to be displayed, it is shown here:

Analytics View

Chart Display Data Points

Hovering the mouse over any of the colored data point areas will show exact data for that data point. Double-clicking on the colored data point area will open the Drill Down dialog on that particular point of data.

Chart Display Context Menu

Analytics View

The Chart Display also contains several right-click menu options:

Display in Fault Entry Table will re-open the reports list and apply all of the chart's conditions as table filters.

Set Results Limit will open a small dialog allowing the user to change the max number of data points displayed in the chart. This is useful if the chart has no pre-defined limit and there are too many cluttering data points or if the limit is too restrictive and should be expanded.

Save Chart will open small dialog to save the currently displayed chart under a different name, this will effectively be the same as duplication if performed on a chart opened from the analytics view. However, it will allow the user to save temporary drill-down charts as well.

Save as Image will open a file browser dialog, allowing the user to select a location to save the current chart as an image. This image will be of the same size as the current chart display's window dimensions.

Chart Display Splitting

Analytics View

The chart display runs on top of the Eclipse editor user interface part, this permits several functionalities such as tabbed displays, splitting the space for two or more displays, or dragging a tab to form a new display window (e.g on a second monitor).

The above image features the available space being split between two chart displays. To do this, open two charts at once, left-click and drag one of the chart tabs to the left or right side of the existing chart display area until green outlines appear showing where the displays will be split and then release the mouse button.

Another independent display window may be formed by left-clicking and dragging a tab outside of the current Eclipse window, such as onto a second monitor.
