This is the title of the entire trend as displayed on the trend itself. The title is displayed at the top of the trend by default. See also Title.

This is the subtitle of the entire trend as displayed on the trend itself. The subtitle is displayed at the top of the trend, but below the title, by default. See also SubTitle.

Check to enable the display of the date range defined for the trend. If enabled, the date range displays below the title and beside the subtitle (if a subtitle is defined). See also SubTitleDateRange.

Defines the label of the x-axis displayed. The x-axis always shows the time frame being displayed on the graph. See also XAxisLabel.

Options on this drop-down menu enable various ways to display grid lines. Options are Both, X Only, Y Only, or None. See also GridLines.

Options on this drop-down menu define the appearance of displayed grid lines. Options are Thin Lines, Thick Lines, Dotted Line, and Dashed Line. See also GridStyle.

Options on this drop-down menu specify the use and type of a graph border. Options are None, Thin Line, Thick Line, Shadow, and 3D Inset. See also GraphBorderStyle.

Check to place grid lines in front of the data on a graph. See also GridInFront.

Check to display bands in the background of your trend grid. Adjust band colors using the Graph Background property on the Colors dialog box. See also GridBands.

Applies the selected visual effect option to various elements of a trend. The options are Off, Shadow, and 3-D. See also DataShadows.

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 Mark Data Points is enabled, the effect of data thinning might be noticeable. All data points still display upon zoom.

Options are as follows:

• Off: Always displays all data points.
• Basic: Enables quick data thinning, for best performance.
• Advanced: Enables slow data thinning, which is more thorough than Basic, but performance is not as good.

See also DataThinning.

Check to enable enhanced graphics. Doing so can decrease trend performance. See also EnhancedGraphics.

Check to enable fixed series line widths. If enabled, series line types do not resize even when the control is resized. If disabled, only a subset of available series line types resize when the tool resizes. See also FixedLineWidth.

Check to display a zoom overview window below the trend whenever the trend is in zoom mode. This property performs optimally when enabled in conjunction with Enhanced Graphics. See also ZoomOverview.

Check to enable the display of each data point on a trend where a data point occurs. See also MarkDataPoints.

If Mark Data Points or any point-based y-axis Plot Style (for instance, Points + Line) is enabled, data point sizes can be set to scale within a fixed range relative to a trend tool. This ensures that points do not scale to an unreasonably large size.

Options are as follows:

• None: Places no upper boundary on the size of a data point. Data points continue to increase in size as a trend tool is expanded. This can become unreasonable.
• Small: Ensures that data points scale within a range appropriate to a small point. Scales to a maximum size of 2 pixels.
• Medium: Ensures that data points scale within a range appropriate to a medium point. Scales to a maximum size of 6 pixels.
• Large: Ensures that data points scale within a range appropriate to a large point. Scales to a maximum size of 10 pixels.

See also MaximumPointSize.

Type a number in this field to define the number of decimal places you want to display to the right of the decimal point. This feature only affects the Value at Cross Hairs option in Run mode. See also NumericPrecision.

If enabled, a comma is used as the numeric divider on the y-axis. For example, 123456 would be displayed as 123,456. See also Commas.
