Box
and Image Annotations
Box annotations can be used to frame other chart objects or display
images. Box Annotations accept dragged images and color, and can be resized and
moved using the mouse. Other Box annotation attributes are controlled using the
Box Annotation Inspector.
Box Annotation Inspector
¥ Fill Color - The color well
sets the fill color for the Box, and the switch turns the fill color on and
off.
¥ Shadow Color - The color well
sets the fill color for the Box, and the switch turns the fill color on and
off.
¥ Border - The slider and color
well set the line width and color of the box border. The switch turns the box
border on or off.
¥ Image - An image file can be
dragged to a Box annotation or set using the Set ... button. The Clear button
removes an image from a box. Image size in a box annotation can be unscaled
(same size as the original image), or can be scaled in two ways. Scale with
Aspect scales the image to the size of the box in at least one dimension (width
or height), while retaining the width to height aspect ratio of the original
image. Scaled resizes the image to the size of the box - both width and height.
¥ Dimensions - For more precise
and repeatable sizing, the Height and Width text fields specify the size of a
box. The Size to Fit Image button resizes the box to match the dimensions of
the image, and is only active when the image is set as unscaled.
