Fig. 4.55 The Curve Attributes Window
4.17 Curve
The Curve object represents one curve on a Plotter object (see Section 4.16). By themselves, Curve objects
have no visible attributes or function. When linked to a Plotter object, they are displayed as a curve. To create a
Curve object, choose Curve Object from the Toolbox. The Curve Attributes window (Figure 4.55) will then
open so you can configure it. Its attributes are described below:
Background: Sets the background color of the Curve object if it is ever dragged onto the graphics plate. This
attribute has no affect when the Curve object is displayed on a Plotter object.
Text: Sets the foreground color of the text for the Curve object when it is placed on the graphics plate. This
attribute has no affect when the Curve object is placed on a Plotter object because the text will then use the same
color as the Curve color.
Curve Color: Sets the color of the curve and curve label when they are displayed on a Plotter object.
If a Plotter object does not already exist, one will be automatically created when the Curve object is created.
However, if a Plotter object does already exist, the new Curve object will be linked to it. (A single Plotter object can
contain more than one curve.) Figures 4.56 and 4.57 show a Plotter with one curve and two curves.
