Graph Pop-Up Menu
A pop-up menu is available in the Data Settings and Properties to let you access the Measurement Inspector, manage scalar information, as well as to export graphs and execute macros. You should note that the items available in the pop-menu are dependent on the number of items selected — one or multiple.
Items Available for a Single Selection
The following items are available when you select a single graph in the Data Properties and Settings panel.
Measurement Inspector
Opens the Measurement Inspector panel (see Evaluating Graphs with the Measurement Inspector).
Edit Object Description
Opens the Object Description dialog, in which you can add a description to the selected object or edit its current description.
Export
As ORSObject… Lets you save the selected graph in the ORSObject (*.ORSObject extension) file format (see Exporting Objects).
Execute Macro
Provides a shortcut for selecting macros that can be executed for the selected graph (see Recording and Playing Macros).
Delete Selected Scalar Values
Lets you delete selected measurements. You can select multiple scalar value slots when deleting scalar information, as shown below.
Import Scalar Values From a CSV File
Lets you import scalar values contained in a selected comma-separated values file (*.csv extension). You can import scalar values from either an ORS-formatted CSV file, in which case all slots will be imported, or you can import scalar slots one-by-one from a generic CSV file that contains the required IDs and corresponding values.
The options for importing scalar values from an ORS-formatted CSV file are available in the Scalar Values Slots Importer dialog. You can choose to import either edge or vertex scalar types, as shown below.
NOTE ORS-formatted CSV files are formatted in columns as follows: | Time Step | ID | Measurement (unit) |, in which the ID can be related to an edge or vertex.
The options for importing a scalar value slot from a generic CSV file are available in the Scalar Values Slots Importer dialog, shown below.
NOTE Generic CSV files must be formatted as: | ID | Value |. Other information, such as the slot title, dimension type, unit, and time step, can be entered manually.
Map Vertex Scalar Values From
Lets you map vertex scalar values contained within another object. You can choose the required object in the Choose Scalar Value Slots dialog, as shown below.
Create a Box From Current Bounding Box
Automatically creates a box that corresponds to the dimensions of the bounding box of the selected graph.
NOTE If you change the number of pixels along any axis, then spacing will be modified automatically to maintain the original geometry of the box.
Create a Box From Current Clip Box
Automatically creates a box that corresponds to the dimensions of the clip box associated with the selected graph.
NOTE If you change the number of pixels along any axis, then spacing will be modified automatically to maintain the original geometry of the box.
Add a Constant Vertex Measurement
Lets you add a constant vertex measurement to the selected graph. The name of the measurement and its value can be entered in the Name and Value dialogs, respectively.
NOTE Applying a constant to the vertex radius measurement can facilitate the evaluation of some graphs.
Add Vertex Connectivities Measurement
Lets you add vertex connectivities measurements to the selected graph.
Items Available for Multiple Selections
The following items are available whenever you select two or more objects in the Data Properties and Settings panel.
Export
As Multiple ORSObject… Exports the selected items in the ORS Object (*.ORSObject extension) file format to a selected folder as multiple files (see Exporting Objects). You should note that if the selected objects share the same name, their file names will be appended with a sequential number.
As ORSObject… Exports the selected items to an ORS Object file (*.ORSObject extension) to a selected folder (see Exporting Objects).
Execute Macro
Provides a shortcut for selecting macros that can be executed for the number and type of items selected.
