Otherwise, alternate units cannot be displayed by the tool. Property sheet options are 0 - No and 1 - Yes. Default is 0 - No. Script subtype is Boolean.

This property is not necessarily related to AlternateUnitsOverride and OverrideAlternateUnits.

See also Configuring a Date Range.

Script subtype is integer.

See also Numerical Identifiers.

Specifies the y-axis number with which a specific series is associated. Options are integers that correspond with configured y-axes. This property is series indexed.

Script subtype is integer.

Selects a background color for the object or grid. Note that if an object’s [AlarmElement] property is set to Background Color and a primary point is assigned to the object, the background color will change in Run mode to reflect the point status.

The default is Automatic, which is the background color of TheView for most objects.

• For the Group Grid Tool, BackColor specifies the background color for the object’s cell space. This does not affect the background color of the cells. To set the background color of the cells, enable UseCustomStateColors (Property Sheet, ActiveX page) and define the custom colors.
• For the CygNet GCM Nomination Grid, the default is white (RGB 255.255.255).
• For the SetPoint Button Tool, BackColor is a script property that specifies the background color of the value and the confirmation prompt dialog box for the SetPoint Button object. UsePrompt must be enabled for this setting to be recognized by the SetPoint Button object. Script subtype is long.
• For the Trend Tool, specifies the background color of a trend. Default is gray (RGB 240.240.240). Script subtype is long.

See also MonoBackColor and Configuring Colors.

BorderStyle specifies the border style of the object boundary.

Most tools use one of these sets of options:

• 0 - ibsNone, 1 - ibsRaised, or 2 - ibsLowered, and the default is 0 - ibsNone

• 0 - None or 1 - Fixed Single, and the default is 0 - None

The Panel Switch Tool uses these options:

• 0 - ibsLine, 1 - ibsRaised, 2 - ibsLowered, 3 - ibsTop, and 4 - ibsNone, and the default is 0 - ibsLine.

For the Box, Frame, and Text tools, the BorderStyle property specifies the style of the object’s foreground lines. The options are:

• 0 - Normal, 1 - 3D, 2 - Sunken, 3 - Raised, and 4 - None

The default for the Box Tool is 0 - Normal. The default for the Frame Tool is 1 - 3D. The default for the Text Tool is 4 - None.

If you use 2 - Sunken or 3 - Raised and the effect is not visible, change the object’s HiliteColor.

If you use 0 - Normal, 2 - Sunken, or 3 - Raised, you can set the border width using the PenWidth property.

For TheFrame/TheView, the BorderStyle property specifies both the style of the object's border and whether the object can be resized by the user in Run mode. The default is 0 - Thin, which means the border is thin and the size is static. The other possible option is 1 - Resizing, which means the border is thicker and can be resized.

See also Appearance.

Specifies the source of the current date and time used to define the limits of the view window.

Options are as follows:

• 1 - Server Time: Specifies that the view window is created relative to the server (i.e., ARS) current time. If this setting is used but the server time is unavailable, the client time is used for as long as the server time is unavailable. Best practice strongly recommends ensuring that all relevant servers and clients are synchronized to the same time.
• 2 - Series Time: Specifies that the view window is created relative to the most recent time supplied by a series, server, or client. This means that if any series time on a trend is the most recent time of the three possible time sources, the series defines the latest extent of the view window and appears to be in the future. May be used as a way of correcting for time drift or other similar anomalous situations where series data appears to be "ahead" of the local current time.

Default is 0 - Client Time.

Script subtype is integer.

For TheView, CursorPointer selects the cursor icon that appears when you mouse over objects.

For objects, CursorPointer selects the cursor icon for the instance of the object. The object’s cursor pointer takes precedence over TheView’s cursor pointer.

Enables a graph to automatically filter out excessive data points. This can improve performance if you are displaying a large amount of data. Typically, the effect of data thinning is not noticeable to a user. However, if MarkDataPoints is enabled, the effect of data thinning might be noticeable. All data points still display upon zoom. Data thinning is currently incompatible with square wave lines.

Options are as follows:

• 0 - Off: Always displays all data points.
