Each type of graphical element has a separate tab showing the properties of the element. You can change the properties on these tabs.
Note the following characteristic features of the different graphical elements:
▪Each graphical element is defined by position and direction coordinates.
▪All elements are defined by start coordinates, but only arrows and lines are defined also by end coordinates.
▪Texts are defined only by start coordinates.
▪Rectangles or ellipses are defined by their height and width (relative coordinates beginning at the starting point).
▪The units of the coordinates depend on the assignment of the graphical element.
▪As already mentioned, the fixed axes are represented in a value range between 0 and 1000.
▪If the x-axis is not fixed, its value range represents the number of seconds beginning at a fixed start date.
▪Apart from this, an individual name can be allocated to each graphical element (in the field Name of [element] at the lower window border), so that it is easier to identify it later (for example in the list of graphical elements).
For each graphic element, in the Style tab
▪the line appearance via
▪line style,
▪line colour and
▪line width
and
▪the fill mode via
▪fill colour and
▪fill pattern
can be set.
The start date is specified in the luqs.ini initialisation file.
