Chart Window presents how entity values have changed over time in the course of simulation and the time dependence of one or more entity variables in a chart. Right-click on the chart control to open a popup menu:
- Area Zoom – Turns the zoom in feature on and off. You can drag the mouse over an area in the chart to zoom into it.
- Colors - Opens a dialog where you can customize colors of data series in the chart.
- Copy to Clipboard - Copies the chart to the system clipboard. You can export the chart to another application, e.g., Microsoft Word, in this way.
- Manual Scale – With this option you can specify the range for x and y axis. Only the data points that fit that range will be displayed.
The Chart Window functionality is the same in Cell Illustrator and the CI Player with the following exception: In Cell Illustrator, charts are created on the fly, as simulation progresses. On the other hand, in CI Player, a chart for the whole simulation time period can be created immediately after a log file is loaded into the application. During a replay process, a vertical line in the chart shows the time point that is visualized in the canvas at the moment.
