You configure this powerful feature in CimEdit and display it in CimView. The XY Plot is an ActiveX control that you can configure as follows.

  1. Insert the control into a CimEdit screen.

XY provides an XY toolbar button that you simply click.

  1. Configure the chart's design.

A CIMPLICITY Plot Control dialog box provides a long list of design choices.

  1. Specify runtime data criteria.

XY comes with XY properties and methods that you can use in scripts to manipulate runtime. You can also design the chart by using scripts in addition to, or instead of, the CIMPLICITY Plot Control dialog box.

If you want to begin with a chart that is pre-configured, you can take advantage of the XY Plot SmartObject .
