Using Trace* Properties
The Display Builder automatically creates a set of trace* properties according to the number you specify using the traceCount object property. Attach your data to trace*Value or trace*ValueTable, where * is the trace number. For example if you set the traceCount to three (3), you will have three traces in your graph (Trace01, Trace02 and Trace03) and a corresponding trace*Value (trace1Value, trace2Value and trace3Value) for each.

All traces in the trend graph have the option to display historical and/or current data:

Historical Data		Current Data		Historical and Current Data
To display historical data, attach to trace*ValueTable, where * is the trace number, and include two columns in your attachment. The first column must be the time value and the second column the value to plot. Optionally, include a third (string) column in your attachment if you want to display a data label for each corresponding data value. See the Attach to Data section specific to your data source for details on how to use the Select Columns dialog.  NOTE: In order to attach historical data to the trace*ValueTable property, the trace*ValueHistoryFlag must be deselected.		To display current data, attach to trace*Value, where * is the trace number. When you attach data to the trace*Value property, the time displayed on the trend graph is automatically updated each time data is received. Your data attachment can contain either a single point of data or two columns of data. See the Attach to Data section specific to your data source for details on how to use the Select Columns dialog. If your attachment contains a single point of data, RTView assigns a time stamp when the graph receives the data. If your attachment contains two columns of data, the first column must be the time value and the second column the value to plot. Optionally, include a third (string) column in your attachment if you want to display a data label for each corresponding data value.		To display both historical and current data in a single trace, attach your current data to trace*Value and select one of the following options for your historical data: ● Select the trace*ValueHistoryFlag so that initial data is loaded from the Historian database ● Attach your historical data to trace*ValueTable. NOTE: The trace*ValueHistoryFlag must be deselected.

Supported formats for the time value column are: mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss (e.g., 01/16/2004 12:30:03), yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss (e.g., 2004-01-16 12:30:03), and the number of milliseconds since midnight, January 1, 1970 UTC. In order to view all available data, you must set the properties timeRange to -1 and timeShift to a negative value. This negative value will be used to round the start and end times for the y-axis. For example, if you specify -15 for the timeShift property, the start and end times for the y-axis will be rounded to the nearest 15 seconds.

Data labels will be displayed (enclosed in parentheses) in the fixed legend and in the popup legend, between the trace value and the trace label. If the cursorFlag property is selected, then the data label in the popup legend is for the data value that is directly under or to the left of the cursor.

Select one of the following from the drop down menu to set the scale mode: No Scale, Scale by Trace, Scale Within Trace.

Object Properties

Property Name	Description
anchor	Specify where to anchor an object in the display. NOTE: If an object has the dock property set, the anchor property will be ignored. The anchor property is only applied when the dimensions of the display are modified, either by editing Background Properties or resizing the window in Layout mode Select None, or one or more the following options: None Object not anchored. This is the default. Top Anchor top of object at top of display. Left Anchor left side of object at left of display. Bottom Anchor bottom of object at bottom of display. Right Anchor right side of object at right of display. When a display is resized, the number of pixels between an anchored object and the specified location remain constant. If an object is anchored on opposite sides (i.e. Top and Bottom or Left and Right), the object will be stretched to fill the available space.
dock	Specify the docking location of an object in the display. Select from the following options: None Object is not docked. This is the default. Top Dock object at top of display. Left Dock object at left of display. Bottom Dock object at bottom of display. Right Dock object at right of display. Fill Dock object in available space remaining in the display after all docked objects are positioned. If the dimensions of the display are modified, either by editing Background Properties or resizing the window in Layout mode, the properties (objX, objY, objWidth and objHeight) of docked objects will automatically adapt to match the new size of the display. When multiple objects are docked to the same side of the display, the first object is docked against the side of the display, the next object is docked against the edge of the first object, and so on. When objects are docked to multiple sides of the display, the order in which objects were added to the display controls docking position. For example, let's say the first object added to the display is docked at the Top and the second object is docked at the Left. Consequently, the first object will fill the entire width of the display and the second object will fill the left side of the display from the bottom of the first object to the bottom of the display. Objects in a display have the dock property set to Fill, are laid out across a grid in the available space remaining after all docked objects are positioned. By default, the grid has one row and as many columns as there are objects in the display. You can modify the grid in the Background Properties dialog. Once an object is docked, there are some limitations on how that object can be modified. Docked objects cannot be dragged or repositioned using objX and objY properties. Docked objects cannot be resized using the objWidth or objHeight properties. To resize you must drag on the resize handle. Docked objects can only be resized toward the center of the display (e.g. If an object is docked at the Top, only its height can be increased by dragging down toward the center of the display). Docked objects set to Fill cannot be resized at all. Docked objects cannot be moved using Align. Non-docked objects can be aligned against a docked object, but a docked object will not move to align against another object. Docked objects are ignored by Distribute.
objHeight	Set height of the object in pixels.
objName	Name given to facilitate object management via the Object List dialog. Select Tools>Object List.
objWidth	Set width of the object in pixels.
objX	Plot x-axis position of object.
objY	Plot y-axis position of object.
styleClass	Enter the style class name for this object as defined in your style sheet. If not specified, the object class name is used. NOTE: The value entered must not contain spaces and cannot start with rtv-.
transparencyPercent	Set transparency of the object. Enter a value between 0 and 100. A value of 0, the default, sets the object to be completely opaque. A value of 100 will render the object completely transparent.
visFlag	Control visibility of the object.

Plot Area Properties
Specify the way the plot area is displayed in your trend graph.
 

Property Name	Description
gridColor	Select the  button and choose a color from the palette to set the color of the grid.
traceBgColor	Select the  button and choose a color from the palette to set the background color of your graph.
traceBgGradientColor2	Select the  button and choose a color for the second color in the gradient. Default is white. NOTE: The traceBgColor property sets the first color in the gradient.
traceBgGradientMode	Display a gradient in the plot background. Select from the following options:   None No gradient   Diagonal Edge Gradient is drawn at a 45 degree angle from the top left to the bottom right corner of the object.   Diagonal Center Gradient is drawn at a 45 degree angle from the center to the top left and the bottom right corners of the object.   Horizontal Edge Gradient is drawn horizontally from the top to the bottom of the object.   Horizontal Center Gradient is drawn horizontally from the center to the top and bottom of the object.   Vertical Edge Gradient is drawn vertically from the left to the right of the object.   Vertical Center Gradient is drawn vertically from the center to the left and right of the object.
traceBgImage	Select an image to display in the plot background of your graph. If necessary, the image will be stretched to fit the plot area.

Trace Groups
Specify trace groups displayed in your trend graph. The Display Builder automatically creates a set of traceGroup* properties (where * is the trace group number) according to the number of trace groups specified in the traceGroupCount property. A trace group is a collection of two or more traces. Trace groups are useful for identifying multiple traces sharing the same vertical axis (when yAxisMultiRangeMode is set to Strip Chart or Multi-Axis) or for identifying three traces combined as a banded trace.
 

Property Name	Description
traceGroupCount	Specify the number of traces in your trace group. The maximum is 5.
traceGroup*TraceNumbers	According to the number of traces specified in the traceCount property, enter a comma-separated list of the traces to include in this group (i.e. 1,3,5,6). NOTE: If traceGroup*BandedFlag is selected, then the number of traces listed should be 3. If the yAxisMultiRangeMode selected is Strip Chart or Multi-Axis, all the traces in the group will share the same strip/axis. If the yAxisMultiRangeMode selected is Multi-Axis, the color of the axis for a trace group is determined by the specified trace*LineColor of the first visible trace in the group. NOTE: In Multi-Axis mode it is recommended that you assign the same trace*LineColor/trace*LineStyle and trace*MarkColor/trace*MarkStyle to all traces included within a group. Once a trace is included in a group, the following properties are no longer available: trace*YAxisAutoScaleMode, trace*YAxisValueMax, trace*YAxisValueMin. To scale the y-axis range of your trace group, use the yAxisAutoScaleMode, yValueMax, and yValueMin properties. NOTE: All traces included in a group must have the trace*YAxisVisFlag, traceVisFlag and trace*YAxisGridVisFlag properties selected, otherwise the y-axis and/or the y-axis grid will not be visible.
traceGroup*BandedFlag	If selected, the plot area beneath the first trace (the low band trace) and the area above the third trace (the high band trace) will be filled. The second trace (the value trace) will not be filled.

Trace Properties
 Specify how traces are displayed in your trend graph.
 

Property Name	Description
multiTraceTableFlag	Select to plot multiple traces from a single data table. multiTraceCurrentValueTable Attach your current data. The first column in the attachment must contain a time value. The remaining columns can either contain numeric or string data. The first numeric value is used as the data point, the first string value is used as the first data point's data label. Within the attachment, columns can be arranged in any order (e.g.: numeric1, numeric2, string1, string2, numeric3, string3, string4, numeric4). Unless a trace*Label is already specified, the attached trace* column names will be used as trace labels. NOTE: If multiTraceHistoryValueTable is also attached to data, it must contain the same number and type of columns as the specified multiTraceCurrentValueTable. multiTraceHistoryValueTable Attach your historical data. The first column in the attachment must contain a time value. The remaining columns can either contain numeric or string data. The first numeric value is used as the data point, the first string value is used as the first data point's data label. Within the attachment, columns can be arranged in any order (e.g.: numeric1, numeric2, string1, string2, numeric3, string3, string4, numeric4). Unless a trace*Label is already specified, the attached trace* column names will be used as trace labels. Typically, the attached data table contains initial data points to be plotted (i.e. from a SQL attachment with Update Mode set to On Demand, or from a Cache attachment with Update Once selected.) NOTE: If multiTraceCurrentValueTable is also attached to data, it must contain the same number and type of columns as the specified multiTraceHistoryValueTable. NOTE: Once multiTraceTableFlag is selected, all trace data is expected to be provided via multiTraceCurrentValueTable or multiTraceHistoryValueTable. Therefore, the trace*Value and trace*ValueTable properties will no longer be available.
traceCount	Specify the number of traces in your graph. The maximum is 10. RTView automatically creates a set of properties (see Trace* Properties) for each trace.
traceFillStyle	Set traceFillStyle to Solid, Transparent, Gradient, or Transparent Gradient to fill the area under the trace. Set to None to disable this feature. None is the default.

Trace* Properties
The Display Builder automatically creates a set of trace* properties (where * is the trace number) according to the number of traces specified in the traceCount property. Attach your data to trace*Value or trace*ValueTable, see the Using Trace* Properties section for details.

Property Name	Description
trace*Label	Set a label for your trace.
trace*LineColor	Select the  button and choose a color from the palette to set the trace color.
trace*LineStyle	Select the style of the trace from the drop down menu: No Line, Solid, Dotted, Dashed or Dot Dashed.
trace*LineThickness	Select the thickness of the trace from the drop down menu: Thin, Medium or Thick.
trace*MarkColor	Select the  button and choose a color from the palette to set the trace marker color.
trace*MarkStyle	Select the style of the marker used on the trace from the drop down menu: No Marker, Dot, +, *, o, x, Filled Circle, Filled Diamond, Filled Triangle, Filled Square or Filled Star.
trace*Type	Select the type of trace from the drop down menu: Line, Bar or Event. Line Line connecting each data point. Bar Vertical bar for each data point, from zero to the data point's value. Use the trace*LineThickness property to control the width of the bar. NOTE: If trace*MarkStyle is set to any value other than No Marker, the mark will be drawn at the end of the Bar trace. Event Small rectangle containing the first character of the corresponding data label for each data point. If no data label exists, then the first character of the specified trace*Label is used. Each Event trace is positioned vertically according to the data value for the corresponding data point. The trace*LineColor property sets the color of rectangle's edges and the enclosed text character. The trace*MarkColor property sets the fill color of the rectangle. If trace*LineColor and trace*MarkColor are set to the same color, then traceBgColor is used to set the fill color of the rectangle. NOTE: If the attached data contains data labels but no data values, then an Event trace will be plotted regardless of the specified trace*Type setting and Event trace rectangles will be drawn near the bottom of the trace area.
trace*Value	Attach your current data, either containing a single point of data or two columns of data. If your attachment contains a single point of data, RTView will assign a time stamp when the graph receives the data. If your attachment contains two columns of data, the first column must be the time value and the second column the value to plot. Optionally, include a third (string) column in your attachment to display a data label for each corresponding data value. The data label will be displayed (enclosed in parentheses) in the fixed legend and in the popup legend, between the trace value and the trace label. If the cursorFlag property is selected, then the data label in the popup legend is for the data value that is directly under or to the left of the cursor.
trace*ValueAlarmStatus	Use if your trace is being driven by trace*Value. To apply an alarm status to a trace, enter an alarm status index which will be applied to any new points plotted.  Valid indexes are: 0 = use normal marker color and style, 1 = use low alarm marker color and style, 2 = use low warning marker color and style, 3 = use high warning marker color and style, 4 = use high alarm marker color and style, -1 = determine marker color and style by comparing the value to the enabled alarm thresholds.
trace*ValueAlarmStatusTable	Use if your trace is being driven by trace*ValueTable. Attach an alarm table containing status indexes to trace*ValueAlarmStatusTable to enable rule based alarm statuses for trace markers. This table must have a time column (formatted like the time value in the trace*ValueTable) and a value column where the value column contains alarm status values 0-4. The table must also have the same number of rows as the corresponding trace*ValueTable. For each data element in trace*ValueTable, the status index at the corresponding position in trace*valueAlarmStatusTable will be used to set the alarm status of the marker.  Valid indexes are: 0 = use normal marker color and style, 1 = use low alarm marker color and style, 2 = use low warning marker color and style, 3 = use high warning marker color and style, 4 = use high alarm marker color and style, -1 = determine marker color and style by comparing the value to the enabled alarm thresholds. If no data is attached to trace*ValueAlarmStatusTable, then the alarm status for a trace marker is determined by comparing the marker's value to the enabled thresholds.
trace*ValueDivisor	Enter a number. All traces will be divided by this value.
trace*ValueHistoryFlag	If selected, RTView will attempt to load initial data from the Historian database for the corresponding trace. NOTE: Only data within the specified timeRange will be loaded and the graph will update as live data becomes available.
trace*ValueTable	Attach your historical data containing two columns: the first column must be the time value and the second column the value to plot. NOTE: In order to attach historical data to the trace*ValueTable property, the trace*ValueHistoryFlag must be deselected. Optionally, include a third (string) column in your attachment to display a data label for each corresponding data value. The data label will be displayed (enclosed in parentheses) in the fixed legend and in the popup legend, between the trace value and the trace label. If the cursorFlag property is selected, then the data label in the popup legend is for the data value that is directly under or to the left of the cursor.
trace*VisFlag	Select to control trace visibility. Click and hold on a trace's entry in the legend to temporarily hide all other traces in the graph.

X-Axis Properties
Specify the way the x axis is displayed in your trend graph.
 

Property Name	Description
timeFormat	Set the format for the time displayed in the x-axis using syntax from the Java SimpleDateFormat class.  For example, MMMM dd, yyyy hh:mm:ss a would result in the form August 30, 2003 05:32:12 PM. If no format is given, the date and time will not be displayed on the x-axis. Include a new line character ('\n') to display multiple line text in the time axis labels.  For example, MM\dd'\n'hh:mm:ss would result in the form 08\30 05:32:12.
timeRange	Control the total amount of time, in seconds, plotted on the graph. If you attach data to trace*ValueTable, set timeRange to -1so the time range of the graph is driven by the time range in the data attachment. NOTE: timeRange is ignored if both timeRangeBegin and timeRangeEnd are set.
timeRangeBegin	Set the start time value of the data to be plotted on the graph.  Supported formats are: mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss (e.g., 01/16/2004 12:30:03), yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss (e.g., 2004-01-16 12:30:03), and the number of milliseconds since midnight, January 1, 1970 UTC. NOTE: If only the time is specified, then today's date will be used.
timeRangeEnd	Set the end time value of the data to be plotted on the graph.  Supported formats are: mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss (e.g., 01/16/2004 12:30:03), yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss (e.g., 2004-01-16 12:30:03), and the number of milliseconds since midnight, January 1, 1970 UTC. NOTE: If only the time is specified, then today's date will be used.
timeRangeOfHistory	Specify how much historical data is loaded into the graph, in seconds. If timeRangeOfHistory is set to zero or less (default is -1), or if it is less than the value of timeRange, then the timeRange property determines the amount of historical data to be loaded into the graph.
timeShift	Control the amount of time, in seconds, the graph will shift to the left when the trace has filled the graph and controls the rounding of the start and end times. For example, if the timeShift is 15, the start and end times on the graph will be rounded to the nearest 15 second interval. By default, the end of the plot area corresponds with the current time. To only shift the graph when new data is received, set timeShift to a negative value and the end of the graph will display the most current data plotted. If you attach data to trace*ValueTable, you must set timeShift to a negative value. NOTE: The timeShift property is ignored if either timeRangeBegin or timeRangeEnd is set.
xAxisFlag	Select to display the x-axis.
xAxisGridVisFlag	Select to display a grid line for each major division along the x-axis.
xAxisLabelTextHeight	Specify the height in pixels of the x-axis labels.
xAxisMajorDivisions	Specify the number of major divisions on the x-axis.
xAxisMinorDivisions	Specify the number of minor divisions on the x-axis.

Y-Axis Properties
Specify the way the y axis is displayed in your trend graph.
 

Property Name	Description
yAxisAutoScaleMode	The yValueMin and yValueMax properties control the range of the y-axis for this trace if the yAxisAutoScaleMode is set to Off. Select On for the yAxisAutoScaleMode to calculate y-axis range according to data values being plotted. To calculate the the y-axis range including yValueMin and yValueMax, select On - Include Min/Max. If yAxisMultiRangeMode is set to Multiple Axis or Strip Chart, then use the trace*YAxisAutoScaleMode, trace*YAxisValueMin and trace*YAxisValueMax properties to control the range of the y-axis.
yAxisAutoScaleVisTracesOnlyFlag	Select to include only visible traces when calculating the y-axis range. By default all traces in the traceCount are used in the auto-scale calculation, including those that are invisible or unattached to data.
yAxisFlag	Select to display the y-axis.
yAxisFormat	Select or enter the numeric format of values displayed on the y-axis. To enter a format, use syntax from the Java DecimalFormat class.
yAxisGridVisFlag	Select to display a grid line for each major division along the y-axis if yAxisMultiRangeMode is set to Off or Classic.  If yAxisMultiRangeMode is set to Multiple Axis or Strip Chart, grid visibility is set by selecting the trace*YAxisGridVisFlag.
yAxisLabelTextHeight	Specify the height in pixels of the y-axis labels.
yAxisMajorDivisions	Specify the number of major divisions on the y-axis. This is ignored if yAxisValueLabels is set.
yAxisMinLabelWidth	Specify the minimum width in pixels for the y-axis labels. If yAxisMultiRangeMode is set to Multiple Axis or Strip Chart, minimum width is set by trace*YAxisMinLabelWidth.
yAxisMinorDivisions	Specify the number of minor divisions on the y-axis. This is ignored if yAxisValueLabels is set.
yAxisMultiRangeMode	Select one of the following modes:  Off - All traces are plotted against a single y-axis.  Classic - One axis per trace, with each trace having its own range. The 1st trace is drawn on the outer left of the graph. The remaining traces are drawn on the inner left of the trace area.  Multiple Axis - One axis per trace, with each trace having its own range. Use the trace*YAxisAutoScaleMode, trace*YAxisValueMin and trace*YAxisValueMax properties to control the range of the y-axis.  Strip Chart - The trace area is divided into strips, one for each trace. Each trace has its own y-axis but all traces share the same x-axis. Use the trace*YAxisAutoScaleMode, trace*YAxisValueMin and trace*YAxisValueMax properties to control the range of the y-axis.  Stacked - The y-axis values for multiple traces displayed are "stacked". That is, the value of each successive data point is accumulated and the sum from lower numbered traces are plotted in the highest numbered trace. NOTE: Actual (unstacked) values for each individual trace are shown in the legend. Values for lower numbered traces are not included in the sum if a trace is invisible, has no data, all of its data points are older or newer than the x-axis value, or the y-axis value at the x-axis value is not a number (NaN). If a lower numbered trace has no y-axis value at a particular x-axis data point, but has x-axis values before and after that data point, the y-axis value for the sum in that trace will be interpolated.
yAxisPosition	Select one of the following to set the position of the y-axis on the graph. NOTE: The yAxisPosition setting is ignored if yAxisMultiRangeMode is set to Classic.  Outer Left - Draw axis to the left of the trace area. Outer Right - Draw axis to the right of the trace area. Outer Mixed - Draw axis to the left of the trace area for odd numbered traces and to the right for even numbered traces. Inner Left - Draw axis on the inside left of the trace area. Inner Right - Draw axis on the inside right of the trace area. Inner Mixed - Draw axis on the inside left of the trace area for odd numbered traces and on the inside right of the trace area for even numbered traces.
yAxisValueLabels	Set to display a text label or tick mark on the y-axis in place of a numerical value. Include a value with no label to display a tick mark without a label. Use this format: value1=label1,value2,value3=label2 (e.g., 0=Off,1,2=On) If yAxisMultiRangeMode is set to Multiple Axis or Strip Chart mode, the y-axis labels are set using the trace*YAxisValueLabels property.
