Trending Point Data

The Trend Tool is an ActiveX control used in CygNet Studio and CygNet Vision screens to provide a customizable means to chart data in a number of useful formats, including line graphs, bar graphs, and area graphs.

Several types of trends appear in CygNet, each using a trend ActiveX control as its foundation. Each of the trend types is accessed in a different way, but they share many of the same properties and configuration procedures.

Implementations of the trend unique to CygNet Studio are as follows:

• Default Trend — The Default Trend is an ActiveX trend control that is accessed from TheFrame/TheView. Although it is a property of TheFrame/TheView ([DefaultTrend]), its configuration is essentially the same as a Trend Tool.
• Single-Point Trend — The Single-Point Trend is an ActiveX trend control that is available at runtime by means of a Trend option. The Single-Point Trend is available on a tool-by-tool basis; many CygNet Studio tools do not have a runtime trend option. Its configuration relies on the default trend.
• Single-Point Trend with Rollups — The Single Point Trend with Rollups is an ActiveX trend control that is available at runtime by means of a Trend option. The Single-Point Trend is available on a tool-by-tool basis; many CygNet Studio tools do not have a runtime trend option. Its configuration relies on the default trend.
• Trend Tool — Trend Tools can be added individually from the Graphics Tools palette to a CygNet Studio screen in Edit mode.
