Inherit from Parent

Objects can be placed in a hierarchy above and below each other. An example illustrating this is

when the text to be shown on a strap is below the strap in hierarchy. This way it is sufficient to

move or rotate the strap itself, the text will follow, in other words, “inherit” the change in the

common parameters of the strap. They would be in a so called parent-child relationship, where

the strap is the parent, as it is higher up in the hierarchy, and the text is the child. There can be,

of course, a multiple hierarchy, where the parent is the child of another Object. Parameters to be

inherited from the parent can be limited, in fact, only the common (translation, rotation, scale and

transparency) properties can be inherited. Sometimes it may be a disadvantage if the child

inherits the change of all common parameters. Therefore inheriting the parameters of

- translate

- rotate and scale and

- transparency

can be switched on or off. For mathematical reasons, rotating and scaling can be switched on or

off only together, simultaneously, but it is unlikely that this could be a major limitation.

Special characters which can be used as tags in the text:

[enter]##[enter] In case the specific Text object has several clones, the text to be

displayed by each clone should be separated with this tag. An example:

Text of the first clone

of the second clone,

though several lines

long

From this point, text of the third clone.

If there are more clones than three,

all the other ones will show this text.

For single line clones, you can use single line as the Clone sep setting (see above).

● Linked to

It is possible to link the property of an object to the value of the property of another

object. If, for example, you want to make a bar chart, you can link the height (Scale Y) of

the bar to the value of text displayed below it. The height will get adjusted automatically.

For this to work, you have to choose the source object and its property you want the link

to be established with from the drop down lists, then choose target property of the current

object. If the linked property is numeric value, you can scale it to get an appropriate result

by setting the offset and bias values (the original value will be multiplied by the bias then

the offset will be added to it.

If you link the text property of a text object to a numeric property of another object,

because you want to display that value on screen, you can set the number of digits

displayed after the decimal point by setting the decimal value.

Another option if you want the result to depend on distinct values of the source property,

1 2 ... 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 ... 124 125
