Introduction
The data object frame properties panel enables defining of general settings that are shared between all types of visualizations, such as:
Titles, Size, Position, Border, etc.
Frame properties panel sections
Settings -
In this section, there are two settings:
Name- The visualization name appears both in the layers and actions. A meaningful name will help apply actions to the visualization in the future.
Show object - when enabled, the visualization appears in preview mode; when disabled, the visualization is hidden in preview mode.
This setting is useful when building a guidance analytics app.
Titles
this section is used for setting the visualization titles can be set up.
This can be done manually or by clicking on the AI title generator.
The AI title generator will offer titles based on the visualization data.
Any click on the button will offer a different option.
Frame
This section is used to set the visualization background and border visual display.
Padding
This section sets the padding between the visualization object and the object titles.
If titles are disabled, it will have the same effect as the margin.
The units used in this setting are pixels.
In the image below, the green area results from the padding settings.Notice that the titles remain near the object border.
Margin
This section sets the margin between the visualization and titles to the object frame border.
The units used in this setting are pixels.
In the image below, the green area results from the margin settings.Notice that the titles now have a margin from the object border.
Position
This section sets the position of the visualization using Horizontal (X) and Vertical (Y) input.
The X and Y inputs are used to place the top left corner of the visualization.
The anchor (0,0) point is the left top corner of the sheet.
The units used in this setting are the percentage of the screen.
Depending on the position, visualizations can drift from the right and bottom sides.
For example, if a visualization position is set to (100,100), the visualization won't be shown on the screen.
In the image below, the visualization's top left corner is placed on the top of the sheet and in the middle of the horizontal length of the sheet.
Size
This section sets the size of the visualization using length and width input.
The units used in this setting are the percentage of the sheet.
Please note that setting the same number for the length and width most likely won't result in a square.
Actions
Frame properties can be updated using actions, see get & set properties in the objects section.
